June 1st 2010

Dana White reported via Twitter that he and the UFC have hired Jeremy M to be the new VP "in-waiting". Dana also stated that Jeremy was hired to help assist, the soon to be retiring, Joe Silva. "Joe has been with the company since basically Day One. However, Joe feels like he has done all he can for this organization so, now it's time to bring in some new blood."

MMA Live attempted to contact Jeremy soon after the news was released but, he was unable to comment.

Jeremy called into MMA Live today and left us this prepared statement. "I am extremely happy and proud to be apart of this World-class Organization. It will be tough taking the reigns from a Legend like Joe, who I consider to be one of the major reasons for the UFC's success. Personally, I believe he was a huge factor in contributing to the organization's status, after his history of making great matchups for the UFC. I have no doubt that I will continue on with his style of matching making and I pride myself in making competitive matchups that you (the fans) want to see."

Hello fans my name is Jeremy Marquiss and as you may of heard by now, I am now the VP "in waiting" until Joe Silva steps down. I'm very, very proud and ecstatic to be here working for the premier MMA organization. As part of my job I will come here from time to time and announce a number of things. Some of those things will include fight cards, injury's and newly signed and/or released fighter's. My only hope is to do half of the job that Joe did and make all of you entertained with the fights that I've put together.

Now with that being said.... Now on to my first order of business; which is to announce an unfortunate injury for the upcoming PPV. Rory MacDonald was injured during training and will be unable to preform in his bout against Carlos Condit. Carlos will be fighting but, it will be against James Wilks instead. Wilks was scheduled to Peter Sobotta however, Peter was injured in training as well so things worked out great for both fighters.

That concludes the messages for today. I will be back again soon to announce the fight card for UFC 115.

Thank guys.

After a great PPV last night in Vancouver I'm now setting my sights on our next event which is the Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale. I'm currently in the process of checking the status of all the fighters who plan to be involved. The official fight card should be out with the next few days.

After my next one I'm going to have to make some CAF's so, I'll probably be slowing down a bit. I'm having a lot of fun with so far though. Oh and thanks for following.
