In countries such as Japan and the Dominican Republic, home country vs. the world themes sell big. It’s why the upcoming World Baseball Classic means a lot more in foreign countries than it does in the United States. MMA Snark, Dr. J, and MMA Toronto have two very interesting, critical articles about the “USA vs. Canada” theme that Dana White is using on the UFC 58 show and why country vs. country doesn’t work as a marketing tactic in America.

Infact I've never come close before so it wasn't until I got a call last Thursday from the UFC that I realized I had won it. Normally I don't check the stats right away cause usually I end up ranked like 3,000th or something. I linked ya on my site now, great blog. Yeah..I was just extremely lucky.

Man, you got Mir, Hinkle and Diaz wrong. I got Diaz and Mir wrong, but I just can't get the right outcome or the right round. Thats what kills me. Nice job though, and enjoy the fights. I'm on the east coast, so I hope they come back to Mohegan Sun in CT sometime so I can get back to a fight. You were the winner with the 199 points? Man, you got Mir, Hinkle and Diaz wrong.

I see alot of chatter on Sherdog and other sites about not liking this card, but I have been waiting for this event since it was first announced. Having Ace vs the Crow and GSP vs BJ Penn is worth the money alone, but now that the lightweights are back, we also get to see Yves Edwards again (one of my favorites) as well as Marquardt, Diego and we can see if Swick really is a decent fighter. I'm looking forward to it. I agree with you Jason. I see alot of chatter on Sherdog and other sites about not liking this card, but I have been waiting for this event since it was first announced.

Bottomline is, in my opinion, top to bottom this is the best UFC card of the year. I tend to ignore the USA vs Canada aspect of it all.
