I don't understand why they don't just start a UFC Europe division were they could put on smaller shows to grow the names of fighters from all over Europe. Instead of just trying to promote shows with one big name British fighter (Bisbing).

That would make too much business sense.

"Hey Beavis, they said PENETRATION! Uh huh huh huh uh huh huh."

sorry guys, immature and juvenille, but that little excerpt from the article made me laugh LOL

but in all seriousness, is that the first time they've dont two UFCs in a week? i know from UFC 74 to 75 and then 75 to 76 was like a two week gap in between each...but a week? damn! they really are pushing for a big year.

England or the US, i just wanna see fights. so having one card scratched from England doesnt mean anything...except that McCarthy will likely have more of a reaction in the US lol

Exactly my point. These are the instances where people like Randy and his case make sense. From my own two eyes it seems that the UFC is very hard to do business with.
