Looks to be a crappy card, minus the Kos and Nightmare fight. If I had a much larger disposable income I'd consider it, but this event doesn't seem real interesting. I don't think its worth the PPV buy either :o.

Yeah If you don't keep up with MMA fighting on a daily base and know each fighter I could see people saying that.

170 lb.: Diego Sanchez (17-0) vs. Josh Koscheck (8-1) Sanchez is a badass
185 lb.: Mike Swick (10-1) vs. Yushin Okami (19-3)* Both good fighters
155 lb.: Joe Stevenson (26-7) vs. Caol Uno (22-9-4)*
Hvywt.: Heath Herring(Texas Lazy horse) (26-21) vs. TBA* Herring was beat his fist UFC fight, but from Tx so we will see.
170 lb.: Luke Cummo (4-4) vs. Josh Haynes (7-7)* Both were fighters on Tuff3
185 lb.: Thales Leites (9-1) vs. Pete Sell (7-2)

And to those who don't know who Heath Herring is here's his most famous fight !!! Knockout

Lets party it up brotha!

Cameo got me 2 tickets on the floor but we went ahead and bought 2 more so Tim and Brad could go.

The closest we could get all together was Row 22 Section 109 I believe


I have thought about buying a few more and selling them off lol.

While I wouldn't say I'm the biggest fan in the world, I check a couple of different MMA forums regularly and attempt to educate myself on who's who.

Pete Sell? Josh Haynes? Luke Cummo? I already watched TUF . Joe Rogan's comments about Heath Herring were spot on. I think he should become a boxer--they don't have to learn to sprawl . As for the title bout, Serra should be fighting at 155 and GSP could fight at 185. Like I said, the only fight that is going to be interesting is Koz for Diego. I like Swick, especially being a Houston guy, but other than that its not that appealing to me. If you watched the last PPV, 69 looks like it will be full of Cote/Smith type fights. The UFC is good at having horrible undercard bouts and making multiple rematches :yawn:. I would think someone who is as in tune as yourself would agree.

Again, if I was a wealthy man I'd love to see the "big boys" in person. Since I'm not, and this event has no interest for me, I'll pass. I'm sure you guys will have a good time regardless of how the fights turn out .

Well something I do agree, but the main thing is its in my backyard. So can't pass it up. And I'm far from being wealthy.

But All in all it should be a kick *** time.

I have 2 tickets, but it's the upper level. I hope we get a decent view from there.
