TBT,
Zuffa doesn't pay anything for their shows to be broadcast; they actually get paid by Versus for the right to air the show, so that Versus can get people watching their channel and collect money from the commercials. If anything, it is Versus not wanting to pay Zuffa for the right to show more fights.

for sure

pequeno on the undercard needs to change
curran vs brown is also tv worthy
and sapo vs serdyukov should be a good fight

3 hours would do better service to the good matchups currently listed as prelims

Wow, since that is the case, it is completely stupid as fuck for VS to not show a 3 hour show. I will be sending one of your email templates asap.

I used the top 2 with 2 different email addresses. See if you can get this stickied by a mod.

PEQUENO IS ON THE UNDERCARD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

If I don't get to see Pequeno's fight I will be pissed, I am going to send an email right now and possibly make multiple email accounts on yahoo! so I can send more emails.
