*Final disclaimer. If MMA fans continue to order weak ass PPV's like this one, the UFC will keep putting them on. The fact that the UFC has raised their prices to $45.00 is maddening enough, but to begin the rate hike with suck a lackluster event is just stupid. This is a weak card even if it was free on Spike TV! Dana White and the boys at Zuffa continue to use shady business practices to squeeze every last dollar out of the fan while trying to squash every upstart and legit MMA company out there to maintain their monopoly of the sport. You can watch the PPVby the end of the day (since in England it will be early our time) on many Internet outlets such as Megaupload, Daily Motion, YouTube, V Sandbox, Rapid Share, and many many more sites that cater to your inner pirate. Use your voice by keeping your money in your wallet this Saturday, and still see the event. That will doubly piss off the UFC and hopefully, eventually, force them into decent PPV's (which they have the talent for) and respect for the fans that make them money.*
