        Machida/Shogun is 104

        The rumoured main event for 103 is Carwin/Velesquez.

        Confirmed fights are Koschek/Trigg and Hermes Franca/Tyson Griffin

          Ignorance is bliss my friend. To a uneducated person it may look "gay" but I was a bouncer for about 8 months and BJJ, Judo and Wrestling saved my skin more times than I care to mention.

          BJJ is a very effective art which is why techniques are being taught to Law Enforcement, the Army etc.

          I guess everyone expect those that practice boxing are ****sexuals, huh?

            Has it ever dawned on any of you guys that some are fans of both sports. There is no competition for fans. This alleged rivalry only makes ufc look like they are as big as boxing. Some states are now just allowing these type of fights to be sanctioned. There is no rivalry!

            But then again, if they start trying to compete based on ppv #, we may start getting solid boxing undercards. So maybe I should shut up and encourage this nonsense. Mid post epiphany!

                I know this will probably fall on deaf ears and you probably won't do it, but take a few classes. It will really open your eyes. Once you train in it and can understand what's going on, it can be just as exciting as watching fighters throw leather.

                  The UFC PPV will easily outsell Mayweather-JMM.
                  Easily? The regular UFShe ppv is selling 400-600k, Mayweather was selling 300-400k before the De La Hoya and Hatton fights, before the exposure from Dancing with the Stars, Wrestlemania, Cribs, AT&T commercial, etc.

                  IF the UFShe ppv beats the out it'll be barely, Mayweather will easily get 500k, easily.

                    And to be perfectly honest, you guys are getting screwed on the PPV. You're paying $50 for 3-4 fights (if you get to see all of them). That's $15 per fight and half of that isn't worth it.

                    You want to take it to Dana, stop supporting this model until someone develops the ball to at least build a ****ing card that's worth the money shelled out.

                      Mm, I recall this year that a RE-AIR of a UFC ppv on ****e tv got better views than a ppv fight.
