Yeah...That seems quite ridiculous but i'm sure they hate each other and hirota didn't tap. It seems clear to mean that the hirota was favored and talking a lot of shit...A question to ponder, What would happen if rashad and rampage were to fight? I find myself believing they would respect the loser in that fight but i think back to the Ultimate Fighter and after talking to a fighter on the show. We might see the same thing in that case!

I think Rampage and Rashad actually like each other and think each other are funny. They only played up most of that to hype the fight for Dana. I think they have even admitted this.

I didn't have the problem with breaking the arm, dude wasn't tapping you are right. But after he broke it, no matter how much shit was talked, don't do what he did in the ring while his opponent was seriously injured. You won, you proved the point, get your check and go home!

If you own a bar, why couldn't you afford the 50 bucks to put them on legally and not have to worry about this. Our BW3's here doesn't show them b/c they "take away from the family environment", even in the bar section!! it's ridiculous.
As for Aoki...i have no idea how much shit Hirota talked, but if it was alot, like Mir did. Then karma is a bitch. I don't think he should have flipped off the fans, nor should Lesnar have, but if a guy talked all kinds of shit to me leading up to a fight and when we fought i kicked his ass badly, i'd probably get in his face and say something to the effect of this is why you don't talk shit bitch! I don't think i'd be able to help myself, especially not with the juices flowing.
But then again you have these dumbasses out there like Mir who get pummeled and then keep running their mouths.

Obviously the guy is a douche, but that was an impressive maneuver, pinning his arm around and holding it behind his back while he pounded his face.
As far as the $50 thing for the bar to pay for...I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if you're a bar or an orginization and are showing something in your establishment on PPV, then it's not just $50, you have to pay a good amount more. Like I said, I could be way off but I thought I heard that when I was talking with a local BW3's manager. Also, for your BW3's not showing the fights and saying "it doesn't demonstrate family environment". Well what family with kids young enough are going to be out eating at 10pm when all the UFC's start? Lame excuse.

Bars or business that show it pay to get a license its anywhere from like 500 - 1500 bucks depending on the size of the place, that is why some places make you pay covers to get in to view it.

Just saw on Dana White's twitter that Spike is going to start showing classic Pride fights starting Jan. 15th..pretty cool, if I still had cable haha.
Also, just saw on MMA junkie they announced UFC Fight Night 22 is going to be in North Carolina while I'm down there. I've never been to a fight before. What kind of prices would I be lookin at for a Fight Night? It's gotta be cheaper than the a Pay-Per-View event. Are they worth the price?

Mike Brown via rear naked choke rd 1. Big takedown followed by a crucifix and some GnP into a full mount got the back. Brown should be next in line for another shot at Aldo but if Faber wins tonight he may get the next shot.
