ha, ok. I live in the Washington DC area. The commerical was a slick one (Michael Buffer did some of the narration), so I'm guessing it was made for nationwide airing.

BTW what is your screen name at BE?

As Mikey said...Vegas is a wayyyyyyyyy different fight culture. Only MMA fight I've been to live was Liddell/Couture 3 in Feb. 2006. I paid over $100 to be in 4th level or whatever it was at Mandalay Bay. Decent seat and everyone's willing to pay to be seen!

I never understood why nobody goes to the prelims. I remember the arena was practically empty for Castillo-Corrales I and it was the friggin fight of the century.

Holy ****. I thought they were just two ******s and I didn't get what the picture was about. That's hilarious/awesome.

LOL at the bucket of Mega Mass...my roomies in college that worked out a lot drank that stuff everyday. I never went into the can after them without a match, can of air freshner, and my shirt covering my mouth!

They'd always laugh...

I'm gonna now have a bad dream tonight about Mega Mass and the scene in the new Will Ferrell movie "Step Brothers"...you know the scene in the commercial where John C. Reilly gives Will a Dutch Oven and Will responds with:

"That smells like a dead raccoon, stuffed with ricotta cheese"!

Very similar scent IMO!

Odds on how many times Kimbo is shown on camera during EXC show in 2 weeks?

Odds on how many times I scream at my TV because Gus Johnson is a tool of an MMA announcer?

Odds on ratings it will grab?

I like Gus also..Maybe I am partial to him from his announcing in other sports. But for a first time guy he did pretty well. I mean if you are going to have a guy yelling, I would rather it be him then either Goldberg..

I was a little harsh about Gus now that read it back...I just think there was certain spots in which he should have let Mauro lead the play by play...but I think he pukes a little too much. He wasn't that bad for the 1st time, but in spots...I was like STFU!

Sherdog is streaming Fury FC tonight for free. Supposedly it's a very good Brazilian local promotion that has produced UFC and DREAM fighters.

The cage rage MC is the worst i have ever seen

Also, Setanta promoted themselves quite heavily as the new home of live UFC
in the UK
