God bless Affliction and Dream
Kindly STFU you anti-UFC fool. The Affliction card looks awesome, and I enjoy Dream, but the UFC/Zuffa is tops in the MMA dept, their success over the years clearly shows that. They've always been the most legit org in MMA.

Just wanted to say that ur right. But also that Dana is the best thing to ever happen to MMA. He convinced the Ferrita brothers to buy the UFC. He made it main stream in america. without him, Gary shaw, Donald trump, and Mark Cuban woulda never put their money grubbing hands on MMA. And it would remain in the dark in North America. An Underground sport where fighters get injured severely for about a 1000 dollars a fight. Sure Dana says some stupid S*it from time to time but without him you'd all be watching subtitled previously aired japanese pride dvds. Thank you Dana. I hate subtitles.

Vince and Shane Mcmahon were at the Lesnar-Mir card, which I thought was quite interesting at the time. If you look into the crowd after the stand-up, just after Lesnar drops Mir with the jab you can see Vince and Shane towards the upper center of the screen stand up and yell. This may or may not mean anything, but if he were going to get involved with the company it would make sense for him to attend a live event in order to get a feel for the fan base, production quality, etc.

Also McMahon robs UFC of some credibility.

However, there is SOME sense here so who knows.

I thought they had a deal with FOX or HBO.
The Fertita's might want out, especially while it's riding such a high.

let's hope for Fox, at least everyone will get to see it, even Bill, "Fuck it, we'll do it live" O'reilly.
