Next week’s Screen Forever conference offers attendees more opportunities to network and do business with international streaming networks and producers than ever before.
That’s according to Screen Producers Australia CEO Matt Deaner, who is excited about the line-up of keynote speakers and sessions including those modeled on the ABC’s Q&A and You Can’t Ask That.
This year the organisers made it a priority to invite overseas-based producers in the hopes of helping to generate co-productions or other forms of collaboration. Hence the participation of English showrunner Dominic Minghella; Sascha Rothchild, co-executive producer and writer of Netflix’s Glow; Eden Gaha, CEO of La-based Mother Media Group, who previously served as president, unscripted TV at Endemol Shine North America; and Tim King, head of production at Sweden’s Sf Studio.

While most competitors in the sport of Mma are humble and gracious warriors, there are some that are either just outright insane or criminally deranged. This article highlights some of the stupidity surrounding the people who are involved with the sport, and others that have genuinely shocked me to the core with what they have done.
Nobody is a saint in this world and some of the more high profile names in Mma have had trouble with the law. To start off with, I would like to name some honourable mentions who did not make the cut for whatever reasons.
Jon Jones – The Ufc light heavyweight champion was arrested back in 2012 for a DUI. It was the latest of numerous driving incidents for the Ufc’s poster boy.
Chael Sonnen – One count of money laundering for this former Ufc title contender. Fined $10,000 and sentenced to two years probation.

“If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril.” – Sun Tzu
He’s considered by every Mma outlet, website, and expert to be the greatest fighter of all time. The numbers are astounding: 33-6-0, 20 Knockouts, 6 Submissions, and 7 Decisions. He went unbeaten for seven years and in that time amassed 14 successful defenses of the Ufc Middleweight Title. His counter striking and anticipation is the best anyone has ever seen. His knockouts occur in the blink of an eye, his Jiu-Jitsu is like entering a tangled web, and his movement is like water. He’s considered the closest thing to Bruce Lee in competition. He’s a ghost, a ninja, and a soon-to-be legend of the Mma world.
He’s Anderson “The Spider” Silva and he was coming off the first Knockout loss of his career as he headed into Ufc 168.

The Ufc finished off 2012 in grand style as Cain Velasquez (11-1) retook his Heavyweight title from the very man that won it off of him a year ago, Junior Dos Santos (15-2). In episode 013 of the Getting Lucky Mma podcast, I am joined again by co-host Marcus Mitchell to review all the action and the low points of Ufc 155. In part 1, we review all of the prelims on the Facebook and FX undercards. On part 2, we move on to the main card.

Ufc 155 Main Card Review
Episode (#013) Summary
Facebook Card: The card started out with an exciting Flyweight match-up with John Moraga (12-1) taking a third round submission over #7 ranked Chris Cariaso (14-4). This certainly puts Moraga solidly into the top ten and likely puts him a fight away from being a true contender.
They were followed by split decision king, Leonard Garcia (15-10-1) against upcoming prospect Max Holloway (7-1). Surprisingly,...

In episode #012, we’re back to preview the upcoming Ufc pay-per-view event, Ufc 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez 2. I’m joined by my co-host, Marcus Mitchell, as we delve into the Facebook prelims, the FX prelims, and finally the main card in what is sure to be contender for the best of the year.
Episode Summary: There are several jewels hidden away in the undercard that are definitely worth watching. One of the very best is the Flyweight match-up between John Moraga (11-1) and #7 Chris Cariaso (14-3). Both of these fighters love to stand and bang. You can expect fireworks, but we give the slight edge to Moraga with his high level wrestling pedigree.
Next comes Leonard Garcia (15-9-1) vs. Max Holloway (6-1) in a Featherweight match-up. Garcia has lost three straight and his most recent wins have come off of highly controversial split decisions over the Korean Zombie and Nam Phan.

The Ufc's Ultimate Fighter (Tuf) reality TV series returned to our screens last Friday night, but arrived with a twist -- as well as the fastest knockout in its history, at just eight seconds. While the show carried the same format and dangled the same prize at the end of it all, the action was, for the first time, live and pretty much uninterrupted and the season will, in time, be far more interactive than ever before, offering fight fans the opportunity to participate and dictate the fates of those inside the house.
A runaway success since its inception in 2005, this latest tweaking should ensure it remains as such, following the odd hit-and-miss season of late. With change comes a period for reflection, however, and now seems as good a time as any to remember and highlight some of the show's very best success stories, if only to provide inspiration...

Chris Leben -- the Ufc fighter who starred in the first season of " The Ultimate Fighter " -- was arrested in Hawaii earlier this week after allegedly crashing his truck while hammered. Cops say Leben -- who used to sport bright pink hair -- was driving on a highway when he lost control of his truck and smashed into a wall. When officers arrived to the scene -- they suspected Leben was wasted ... and popped him for DUI.

Is there a more hard-working band on the planet than Paramore? The group is about to head off on yet another cross-country trek, as their headlining gig on the annual Honda Civic Tour kicks off next Friday, July 23, at the Raleigh Boutique Amphitheater in Raleigh, North Carolina (they'll be joined by Tegan and Sara, New Found Glory and Kadawatha). And even when the group isn't in front of a horde of screaming fans, they still make an incredible effort to stay connected to their followers (especially singer Hayley Williams, who has mastered the art of Twitter jiu-jitsu).
But even the most committed artists need a day off once in a while, and for Williams, today is that day. Before she called it a night on Tuesday (July 13), she tweeted, "Tomorrow is my first real day off in so long that I'm sort of nervous about it."
We know the feeling,...
