I think Elvis would survive Bispings stand-up, He went the distance w/Sakara and got belted at will (kind of like Sham-Ortiz 1), I also reckon the fight w/Forrest was stopped prematurely. Bisping is undefeated but who has he faced?, Elvis has the ground and experience to take it.
I give him 40/60 by way of Submission.

I'm not sure on the demographics, but you would think that most of the people who get the Mundine PPVs are somewhere in the 18-27 year old male bracket. This is the same demographic that the UFC is big with in the US right? With Australia being a micronism of American society in many ways, wouldn't the people who got th Mundine fight now get the UFC PPV?

The second half of that is - does anyone know if MAINEVENT (Aust. PPV provider) will stop showing the UFC if too few people get buy it? How does the UFC charge its PPV providers? What quota would be needed to keep the UFC PPVs available to Australians?

I doubt anyone knows, but if the info is out there...

I'm not sure on the demographics, but wouldn't most people who buy the Mundine PPVs in be somewhere in the 18 - 27 year old male bracket? Isn't this the same demographic that is driving the growth of MMA in the US? So, with Australian society being such a micronism of the US in many ways, does this mean that people who bought the Mundine PPV should also theoretically buy the UFC PPVs?

The second half of that is - does MAINEVENT (Aust. only PPV provider) need to have a certain number of "buys" to keep airing the UFC. Does MAINEVENT need to meet a quota to keep it worth running? How are UFC Charges passed through the PPV companies?

I doubt anyone knows, but if MAINEVENT scraps UFC PPVs, then i will be pissed. If the answers are out there...

they would have bought the rights for a certain amount of UFC's

if the PPV buys start to die down due to the events sucking shit, or not enough exposure, then yeah they will drop it just li9ke they did last time.
