“saer” — it is pretty cool to get a Swedish perspective on the timing of the fights. 3am is horrible. I’d have to take a nap & wake up in the middle of the night.

I wish I could tape them with HD quality & rewatch them.

Classic line about Hendo -
“there seems to be little else he can do to prove such to be the case outside of perhaps rearing a family of bald eagles or single-handedly capturing Osama Bin Laden.”

Well, I’m not sure I see Franklin v. Henderson as a metaphor for anything at all, but it promises to be a damn good fight, and that’s enough for me.

Brenhan, a very good write-up on the basis for “Americanism” and the mindset that has driven our nation through both good and bad times. We are currently undergoing a time of hardship economically, and I truly hope that we have not lost some of this in the goal of simple “change”. We all know that some changes are good, but some are bad. The loss of individuality, of intellectual pursuit, of family bonds, are not good “change”, but rather fleeing toward some sort of global grayness and doubt.

I enjoy MMA because the same fighting attitude that has established the USA as a superpower is seen in each match (well, lets not mention Kalib) even if the fighters are NOT Americans. It is the goal of being the best, of conquering the unknown. This is why I watch MMA.

We do not attempt to explain our failures, of try to fail to simply encourage our foes, but rather win for a greater cause. This is the American attitude, and we shouldn’t change it one bit. I greatly look forward to the fight between two men with similar attitudes, both Hendo and Franklin, and we will see the outcome.

One of the best articles I’ve read on this site, or any other for that matter, great job. I’m hoping for this fight to be a fight of the year quality matchup, I respect and admire both guys, so its hard to pick sides, but leaning more towards Hendo…War “Old school” America baby!!!

G-Dub.. It’s the same for me.. We get it at midnight here in Sweden cause they’re showing some god awful football game (The REAL football.. the one were they use feet xD) when we could actually have it live at a decent time slot for once (usually we get the US shows live at 03:00 AM)

A shame that this All-American classic battle will take place sometime between 3pm and 6pm on a Sat afternoon for those of us in the continental U.S. Unfortunately, less fans will be seeing this unfold live. Small price to pay for the benefit of the international growth of the sport I guess.
