INVICTA FC DEDICATES NEXT SHOW TO
MEMORY OF RAMON DEKKERS INFICTA FC is dedicating its fifth show to kickboxing acxe Ramon dekkers who died recently. Shannon Knapp, Invicta FC President, said : "We're dedicating this event to the memory of Ramon Dekkers, who made tons of contributions to fight sports. "I feel like there is a great energy surrounding this event, and the athletes — it’s almost like a whirlwind that you can feel building. I think there are going to be some really good things coming up for Invicta FC shortly." Dekkers was only 43-years-old when he died
while cycling in his native Holland. He was a renowned Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion. ***************** A COMPANY is being sued by a tattooist over a tattoo used on a computer game. THQ are facing a law suit from Elite Tattoo over the avatar of Carlos Condit on UFC Undisputed 3. Elite Tatto owner Chris Escobedo, of Arizona, is seeking copyright infringement damages. He said he would not have agreed to THQ using the tattoo design even if they had approached him. He claimed he would have at least have insisted on improving the game artwork and would have sought payment for its use. He
legal
representative said that tattoo designer was the creator of the work
and that ownership of the image belongs to him. ************** Press TV, the Iranian TV channel, reported the London-based agency "was found guilty of propagating against the Islamic Republic and disseminating false information to disturb public opinion." Reuters can appeal against the ruling. It had been brought to court by female Ninjutsu students after the agency said they were as "assassins" being trained to kill any foreign invaders. It was claimed there were more than 3000 such would-be killers being trained by the Iranian government. The story went viral on the internet causing the women to file a lawsuit in February. The women said this was defamation of their character. Reuters made changes to the report but it already spread across the web. |
