pretty sweet if you like UFC/MMA it is the biggest news ever in the sport, gonna make for some good ass kickin' fights

I wonder why they don't stage those fights here in Vegas at the Station properties? I wonder if that has something to do with the gaming commission?? I know the Palms can't take wagers on basketballl because of the Kings/Maloof connection. But those brothers, the Fertittas are well connected here in Vegas -- Their dad Frank Sr. started the Bingo Station back in the 70's I think which is now Palace station part of maybe 7 hotels/casinos they own locally. Deep Deep Pockets.

Could make for some good fights, but Pride's always been the more brutal of the two, I wonder if it will get toned down now. |catfight|

yeah the Fertitas seem to know how to keep making more and more money too...

Preacher it sounds like the UFC rules will now be used for Pride too |cry|

no more knees on the ground or head stomping, the head stomping I wanted to see gone because it's too dangerous IMO but not the knees on the ground to the head, I think they should be allowed as it is one hell of a way to win a fight
