ive heard bad thing about trying to stream the fights online. there is no way in hell i would pay $45 to see it if im only gonna get a still pic that changes every 10 to 15 sec. like most people i know have had in the past. i doubt even if i was 100% sure it would be perfect i would stop watching it on tv with a bunch of buddies to start watching it by my self on the net.
doc
do you think they will show the arlovski fight???
at the moment I’m pretty sure its scheduled for the undercard
OH THATS HORSE ****
Ya, I’m not sure how I’d feel about watching a fight on my pc too, it wouldn’t have the same effect as watching it in a room full of people on a big screen tv. Bad idea.
I can’t see paying the same money to watch the fights on the internet either. If that was the case I would wait a day or two when people put them on dailymotion or youtube.
DUMB IDEA DANA! Have you ever heard the word “TORRENT”… lol no need for a PC based revenue source, because it will cost more than web savvy people will put out.. we can just download the stuff.. lol
Who are you guys picking on this one?
well without a doubt i gotta go with my boy Anderson for the main event but this will be a test for him. Heath Herring should be able to get Kongo on the ground and pound him out. Alessio Sakara Vs. Chris Leben could be a good fight with a lot of punchin’ goin’ on im picking Leben based on how he looked in his last fight. Yushin Okami Vs. Evan Tanner, i would love to say Tanner but i cant due to his time off and all the personal problems, i really i hope im wrong and Tanner comes in good shape and ready to fight but for now im picking Okami. i got Fitch picked cuz i dont know who the other guy is and Fitch has been a killer lately. i hope Arlovski destroys O’Brian fast and hard but that one could go ether way.and the rest of the undercard goes Cummo, Koscheck, Diego, and the last fight is one i kinda wanna see just because i wanna see Jorge Gurgel get his asss kicked. Jorge Gurgel just bothers me and i like seeing him get hit i dont really like to talk sh*t about fighters but Gurgel looks like he should be dancing shirtless in a cage in some ghey bar lol.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Thats some funny stuff man! lol not your type ehhh? lol… he does have that perfectly manicured metro/homo look to him huh? hehe
lol even after he gets his asss kick his make-up never smears lol im probably just hating on him because he could likely submit me AND hes prettier then me. lol
