Lots of bars will show UFC fights for free. No point paying unless you are afraid of leaving home (even then wait a day and download it).

There is a group of 6 - 8 of us that get together once a month to watch the PPV's. Everyone brings beer and snacks and we each chip in for the HD PPV. Sometimes we'll make wings or order pizza. We make a night out of it and have a great time.

On the very rare occasions that the Fight club (as we call ourselves) can't get together, then no - I won't order it in myself, too damn expensive.

Anyone know which bars in Toronto show it? Waiting a day wouldn't bother me. I guess I could do a search and find a site. Is there somewhere special to look for it?

Yes, that's even more fun if you happen to know of such a group. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone that's into MMA fighting. P.S. I make great wings. :D

I've been at 4 or 5 places that advertised it. Asking at your local could be a start or giving your general location here and the membership might be able to help.

I have seen UFC at I Don Knows but some of the girls scare me more than the fighters.

I was really looking forward to the Parisyan/Yoshida fight. What are they gonna put on now on the main card. Hope it would be Tavares/Pellegrino (no wait, checked the site, it's Brown vs. Kim, not bad either).

Chuck will beat Rashad. Rashad is tailor made for Chuck. Chuck fills his beer belly up with beer and wrestlers. Sure Rashad says he's working on his head movement and boxing. But Chuck's striking is very unorthodox, and Rashad will have problems with that. Also, I think Chuck may surprise us and mix it up, such as going for some leg kicks and maybe a takedown (like vs. Wanderlei).

I hope Hamill wins. He's a good guy and has heart. But I don't think he can get past Rich's striking. Rich is only afraid of Black House fighters. If Hamill does win, I'm afraid it would be some boring LnP.

It's a make or break fight for Hollywood. Palhares is good on the ground, but Henderson's rolled with the best from Pride (e.g. the Nog brothers and Wanderlei). Dan's got solid hands, and I haven't seen enough from Palhares to give him the edge.

Marquardt vs. Kampmann is hard to call. Kampmann is really good on the feet, but he is undersized against Nate. I see this being an exciting fight, and I tentatively give the fight to Kampmann, but it should be a good one.

And oh yes, Jason "the Athlete" MacDonald will TKO Lambert. Get one for the Canadians.

Hmmmm... I'll have to watch for that, though if you are feeling generous please forward. I guess with my GSP crush (yes I admit I'm biased) I didn't notice it, however on Rashad I kept thinking about how uncool it is to keep touching yourself sexually before a fight. :rolleyes:


All in all though a very good night, was not surprisingly very impressed with the Henderson fight, I love a good technical fight and it was obvious to me how technically skilled both fighters were - something I've come to expect from Dan over the years. I can't wait to see either fight again.

I noticed the nipple tweaking as well... man, what the hell is up with that?? He did it more than once too!

Did we just see the end of the Chuck Liddell era last night??
