The only reason I have it is because for some reason that my simple brain can't figure out is its cheaper for me to have it and HBO than just HBO.
The shows I mentioned above are fan F-ING tastic.

Oh, I'm sure I'm missing out...
-Nick Diaz vs. Junior Assuncao at UFN 11
Swick vs Jonathon Goulet at UFN 11...that'll be a murder...
Roger Huerta vs Alberto Crane added to UFC 74...
Could they make it any more obvious that they're trying to "build" Huerta into a big name with wins over nobody's?? No doubt it's smart business to try and build up another Mexican star, but it's annoying that he keeps fighting UFC newcomers when most of the top LW's in the world are just sitting doing nothing right now...

I think Huerta is SEVERELY over-rated after his fight with Leonard Garcia. It was an entertaining fight, but it was a really a one-sided beating of Garcia. Him being on the cover os SI was probably random, either that or Dana White chose the picture to really get this star building process under way...
Look at who Huerta has fought in the UFC...
Win Jason Dent Decision (Unanimous) UFC 63 - 9/23/2006 (Dent was 12-7 making his UFC debut)
Win John Halverson TKO (Strikes) UFC 67 - 2/3/2007 1 0:19 (Halverson was 13-4 making his UFC debut)
Win Leonard Garcia Decision (Unanimous) UFC 69 - 4/7/2007 (Garcia was 9-1 making his UFC debut)
Win Douglas Evans TKO (Strikes) UFC - TUF 5 Finale 6/23/2007 2 3:30 (Evans was 5-0 making his UFC debut)
4 guys making their UFC debut. 2 took him to a decision. Evans put up a MUCH bigger fight than people expected...
How about testing Huerta with a PROVEN high level fighter for a change???
Where are all the Pride LW's?? Sakurai is the only one to come over after the purchase of Pride, and he's going to WW...
#1 LW: Takanori Gomi
2. Hayato Sakurai
3. Gilbert Melendez
4. Tatsuya Kawajiri
5. Shinya Aoki
6. Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro
7. Joachim Hansen
8. Sean Sherk
9. Mitsuhiro Ishida
10. Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto
Gomi is going to K-1 it looks like...big loss there. Arguably the hardest hitting LW in the world? Why wouldn't Dana White want him? Who cares if he lost to Diaz...sign both and have the rematch in the UFC.
Where the is Melendez?? American fans would LOVE his fighting style and he speaks perfect English...he's on American Top Team even.
Kamajiri, Aoki, Ishida?? Hansen is always exciting...why not sign him??
Ribero is with K-1...and I know Dana is working on Kid Yamamoto (who has been training in the US some)...
In conclusion, WHAT THE ??

K-1 is going to take a lot of the LW's. I had Gomi leaving PRIDE last week and I am glad to see confirmation but it was the shakiest source I have ever linked. I have almost deleted it a few times.
Agree about Melendez
Agree about Huerta as well although I can't blame them I guess since he was the first on SI. I believe the picture was random from what I read.
Frank Mir vs Antoni Hardonk added to UFC 74 also...
...243 posts on this forum and I don't even like SA, I am not even a big NBA fan. lol
God I hope Mir shows up in shape and doesn't get mangled by Hardonk.
It's looking like Shogun vs Forrest Griffin at UFC 76 now...
How'd you end up here again??
This is the ultimate test to see just how ty Mir is these days. Hardonk was manhandled by Justin "The Mullet" McCully...if Mir can't do the same, then it's time to become a fully time commentator for the WEC (which he's really good at IMO).
Well Bob Sturm from the the Ticket posted a story on his Blog I wrote ("Why the UFC needs Chuck to lose" essay)I
How'd you end up here again??
And I assume you read Sturms blog because you reposted it here. You must have copied and pasted everything because it showed an image hosted on my site was being linked.
I guess I am just a hanger on. lol

LOL...I remember now...yep, I read Sturm's blog every day...
Looks like Swick accepted a fight with Jonathon Goulet because of something he posted about him on Sherdog's forums?

A female season of TUF on e has been discussed...I don't see Dana going for this.
http://fightlinker.com/?p=344
added Gray Maynard's fight to UFN 11
Swick vs Goulet will be Swick's first at 170 lbs...
http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=8340
and in an odd twist, Leben DID accept a fight with Terry Martin at UFN 11. Jeez, that doesn't make sense. Martin is going to trash Leben...

It seems like Huerta is fighting at every UFC event.
hmm...Lutter back at 74. How many fights does he need to win to get back in le contention?
he is...against not so highly regarded UFC newcomers every time. BS. I hope he gets exposed in his next fight...
Meanwhile guys like Guida and Tyson Griffin are fighting top notch guys every time. Griffin vs Tavares at UFC 76 could be another candidate for fight of the year...
Not even close after ing Dana over...
Lutter didn't just screw up a PPV card he basically screwed up and entire season of TUF. How how how do you miss weight like that. 2 pounds? How!?
He would have to go on a streak of consecutive wins of about 7 Bruce Lee type knockouts of top tier talent before he gets another shot. The guys is now relegated to punching bag. He is only out of Danas dog house enough to appear on a card….under card.
Too be honest I am surprised he isn't UFN fodder now.
It's a good thing the UFC is bringing over top talent from Japan...
http://ufcjunkie.com/2007/07/22/matt...com-exclusive/
http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/f...ighterID=13005
He’s from Hidehiko Yoshida’s J-ROCK judo camp and he lost to Aaron Riley at a Bushido show...
The talent are scattering like roaches to k-1.
Anyone heard anything about Cung Le's next fight?
I get my 3 times weekly reminder form him about that fight he is promoting but nothing about his next opponant. I will be dissapointed if it’s a kick boxer. I want to see him against a Ju Jitsu based fighter.
^^How about Jacare vs. Cung Le? Make it happen Leonard!
LOL...
I want to see Cung against a more versatile fighter too...
