It probably just depends on which Ortiz shows up.

I didn't realize there was another free event next month.

Considering there are 24 events scheduled for 2011 I have a feeling that there will be a descent amount of free events!

Cain Fan: "Kill that White motherf*****" (2:43) I like the way Cain handled what the guy said. He didn't even acknowledge it.

I don't agree with the way the UFC has marketed this fight.

Yeah, I think they should just shut the hell up about it. I'm sorry but that is part of the reason racial tension stays alive in our country. He can't just win a title and be a champion? He has to be recognized as a Mexican like they have been held back from winning a belt in sports.
