I'm hoping UFC will have the most viewers tuned in. Also, I’m really interested in knowing who got the better ratings out of boxing and mma this past saturday.

The newer DVD's have pretty cool menu graphics and the mini-websites for the events are really good, but once you get into the "tales-of-the-tapes", etc, its the same old graphics. Out dated.

and i doubt anybody who actually bought the fight is not gonna be tempted to switch over to watch something for free that is gettin replayed right after…

wtf was the point of having this card on the same day as the fight btw… i mean wouldnt it have been beter to have it a week later…

Quite a while ago I started recording them with DVR and then watching them with a 30 minute delay so I can zip through the ads. Despite this cushion, I was very close to "catching up" to real time last night. That having been said, I think it's a good move for UFC to have more live broadcasts. I question whether you can broaden your fan base with such a heavy emphasis on pay-per-view. I watched UFC on Spike for quite a while before I was willing to pony up for a pay-per-view, and I'm still pretty selective. I agree about with Sam about the number of ads on broadcast UFC shows.

This is very Japanese or Euro of me, but I still think we saw that Guida was the better fighter (minus the knee, obviously). Can't wait to see the re-match. Guida needs to keep the Jesus look - my wife only watches occasionally but knows exactly who guys like Guida, Mayhem, and Soko are...they stand out from the crowd of shaved heads. Huerta I'm a big Huerta fan but at this point I don't think he has enough knockout power in his hands and feet to knock out any of the top LWs, and he sure as hell isn't going to submit Penn or Stevenson, outwrestle Sherk, or outstrike Kenflo. That being said, after watching Guida dominate him on the ground, I think Tyson Griffin would do the same to Huerta. Kenny is the better next fight for Huerta, because we need to see how he would do against an elite level striker.
