That's the show people say is so good?
I've never seen it either, but I thought it looked pretty damn cheesy based on those scenes anyway...
That might have been the weakest episode of Entourage ever. That's really the worst example of that show to judge it by. You guys should give it another shot.That's the show people say is so good?
BTW, Freeman says UFC is the worst league ever. Did he not see any XFL games?
LOL...XFL...

o vs Rashad will be the main event at UFC 73, despite having the MW and LW les up for grabs on that card...
I am really glad Ivan Salaverry is back in the UFC.
^^Same here. His last fight against Art Santore on that WFA Card was amazing. I hope he has a good showing.
Big Nog vs Herring @ UFC 73 "Stacked"
http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...articleid=3896
WTF...Herring? He's already beat Herring's ass twice when Herring was actually pretty good. Will still be an interesting fight I suppose...but would rather see him fight Vera...
The UFC 73 card is looking NICE

Herring is being set up to be canned. They most likely signed him to a three-fight contract and wanted to ditch him after that first loss. Another loss to Nog would give them a handy excuse.
I don't know if they want to can him just yet. Nobody expected him to lose to O'Brien.
I don't know....maybe. I'm sure Dana was pissed after his first fight...especially for what he's getting paid. He looked 100X better against Imes. I thought they might try to keep building him up after that fight. Maybe Herring asked for Nog? Who knows...
genius

So it turns out that I will be in Vegas for a bachelor party on the weekend of UFC 71. There's no way I could afford a ticket to go to the fights. Anybody know if they show them at any bars or casinos or are we destined to order the fights in the hotel room?
