The UFC needs to listen more to it's hardcore viewers and start changing things. Hold a grand prix if fans want it, revise and revamp the show, include better pre and post fight interviews, reduce the commercials (all the shit that Sam talked about previously about making the UFC a more mainstream sport) - Will echo sentiments on GSPs performance, a lot of French Canadian fighters seem to suffer similarly (Cote, Goulet). GSP even more hot and cold, when he's hot he's amazing (ala Trigg fight) but when he's not he really looks weak (vs Serra). I think GSP will probably pull it out for his match against Koscheck but I also think that a lot of people underestimate Koscheck. Koscheck seems to be one of those physical enigma phenoms, the kind of guy that you can show a sport one time and in a week he's really good at it. He didn't finish Sanchez but he showed that his striking, what many considered his weak point was beyond Sanchez, the same guy that spent a month in Puerto Rico with DLH. - No problem with Jardine Liddell match though I can see how some people would find that it shouldn't be a main event. The rest of the card looks great so as a fan of fights (and less of fighters) I'll definitely bite. Great show:

Technical gripe - yopur (Sam) input was too hot for 3/4ths of the show - you need to get a good level before the start of the show next time. Good stuff - keep it up!
