UFC 73 Stacked!
starts in about 2 hours. If any Cougarguarders are interested we will be having a few people over at my house in Lehi.
My predictions: Sean Sherk over Hermes Franca Tito Ortiz over Rashad Evans Nate Marquardt upsets Anderson Silva Nogueria over Herring Kenny Florian over Alvin Robinson Stephan Bonner over Mike Nickels One of the best cards ever, dont miss it.

I'd love to come by, but it's an 11 hour drive, so I'll have to pass. I'm looking forward to your summary though.
As an aside, one thing I wish that UFC would stop doing is giving the programs names like "Stacked". It smacks of professional wrestling. |

Wasn't there a tv show with Pamela Playmate called Stacked?

I don't understand the appeal of UFC, when I have watched it has been rather boring. I remember about 45 minutes of taking about the fight, and about 1 minute of a fight.
Give me a good boxing match any day over UFC. |

I have been far more disappointed with boxing matches I have purchased via pay-per-view than I have ever been with and UFC event I have purchased. This isn't even close. Pay-per-view has killed boxing. Friday Night Fights with crappy cards on ESPN doesn't cut it. Rather UFC has promoted their sport well with Spike TV and other outlets where you can watch great fights for free, ie. Pulver vs. Penn two weeks ago. This coming from a huge boxing fan. I don't see why more people can't let the two sports coexist without one being better than the other.

I hope Tito beats Evans though. Tito has been tough of late. He's been training with one of my cousin's best friends, a wrestler at CS-Fullerton where my cousin wrestles too. He's been working out of De La Hoya's home and training facility in Big Bear.

The influence those names had on me in the sweet science just can't be matched by any UFC guys. I don't think I could even name one person in UFC.

If you dont like UFC you better get used to it. Because within the next 5 years it will be bigger than boxing with larger purses and more coverage.
