For an inactive fighter, Randy Couture is anything but inactive. When he’s not busy opening up new Xtreme Couture gyms, training his fighters, or releasing biographies, which, by the way, hit book shelves yesterday, he’s off shooting movies.

His newest movie, The Scorpion King 2, is set to come out on DVD and Blu-Ray on August 19.

See how the legend of The Scorpion King began! When a young Mathayus witnesses his father’s death at the hands of the king (UFC Champion Randy Couture), his quest for vengeance transforms him into the most feared warrior of the ancient world. From the director of Resident Evil: Extinction and Highlander comes a heroic adventure filled with heart-stopping action and thrilling visual effects!

I feel ridiculous just typing the name of this pay-per-view. The big three fights on the card more than make up for it though.

If you would have asked anyone who’s knowledgeable about mixed martial arts if Affliction would do over 100,000 pay-per-view buys when they announced their first show, they would have told you not a chance in hell. Why would they say yes? No promotion besides the UFC has ever done over 100,000 pay-per-view buys in the US. Why would Affliction succeed where so many have failed?

Well, maybe it was as simple as putting as many of the best fighters in the world that could be found on one event and letting the fighters and the fights sell themselves. A little dose of Donald Trump wouldn’t hurt either.

That’s exactly what Affliction did, and according to VP of Affliction Entertainment, Tom Atencio, “Banned” will go beyond the 100,000 PPV buys mark.

Spike TV has released the ratings for Ultimate Fight Night 14 ‘Silva vs Irvin,’ and they are impressive.

“The Ultimate Fighting Championship proved yet again to be the ratings champion with the hard-to-reach demographic of young men. Spike TV’s telecast of a live ‘UFC Fight Night’ on Saturday, July 19 (9:00pm-12:00am ET) featuring the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Anderson Silva, out-delivered every other channel (broadcast and cable) with Men 18-34 (903,000), Men 18-49 (1,550,000), Men 25-34 (622,000), and Persons 18-34 (1,326,000).* The telecast peaked at 11:30pm for the Silva vs. James Irvin bout drawing 3.8 million viewers and a staggering 4.9 rating for Men 25-34 and a 4.1 rating in Men 18-34.

The UFC fight card also drew more viewers than FOX’s coverage of MLB (3,072,000) earlier in the day and nearly tripled its reach of Men 18-34 (369,000) and doubled the Men 18-49 (879,000).
