Fucking awful. Great PPV show marred by a terrible injury to Silva.

I dont think it was a great ppv, the best fight was the womans.

Well Saturdays card was a pretty dull but looking forward to Barao-Faber and Aldo-Lamas fight. to me its the most exciting event for a while, quite a lot of smaller cards i'm beginning to lose track and miss the odd event.

ufc is launching a new subscription website called FightPass that will have all UFC, WEC, strikeforce and pride fights. As well as some exclusive content, some events and series of tuf will only be on this site. Not sure how it will work in the uk yet last I read they were still negotiating with BT over what they will show. it was rumored the next UK event would be on Fightpass but think BTsport would be very pissed off about that.

if anyone is interested in what goes on behind the scenes, Dana whites vlogs are quite good, usually puts out 1 or 2 before each ppv
