UFC on Spike TV

Tonight's event? Nice, so far. Offering a main event for free? Genius marketing scheme by Dana White. Scheduling the fights before bedtime? Brilliant -- kids everywhere are practicing the triangle choke on their siblings and begging to go sign up for MMA.

That was a wicked choke that Ed Herman just got put into.

I'm going away to drink more beer and watch more fights.


Update: Well, I'm glad I didn't pay money to see that fight. I'd say Tito figured out Shamrock's game pretty well, LOL.

Shaking hands on national TV was a nice thing, though. And it's about time Shamrock retired; while it's true there are several fighters out there well past age 42, he's already hit the top of his game and no one is going to take away his laurels as a hall-of-famer. He should go ahead and just coach. But hire a good business manager, Mr. Shamrock. You're a great fighter, but from what I've seen, not so much in the brains department. So let somebody else do the books, so your gym stays in business and you have a little money to retire on.
