Re: The UFC is finally coming to Portland Supposedly they are still having trouble selling out. You may be able to pick up reduced rate tickets in the coming days. Saturday night you might even get really cheap ones if they haven't sold them all.
Re: The UFC is finally coming to Portland Any word on if the PPV will be blacked out if its not sold out at the RG?
Re: The UFC is finally coming to Portland I've never heard of them doing that before. Who's choice is it--the UFC or the PPV provider?

Re: The UFC is finally coming to Portland Like I said earlier, with so many unsold tickets, there is a good chance you can get some on the cheap tonight.

Overall Dana White is happy with the way things worked out. Attendance was above 16,000 and the crowd was loud and knowledgeable. White wants to come back to Portland again but will put on shows in Seattle and Vancouver BC first.
Yeah I was there. It was awesome and the arena looked pretty damn full. It was loud as hell too especially during the Randy fight. The best was the 7 second record KO by Duffee haha.
Yeah I guess the fighters were impressed by the crowd noise. Portland got one of the best PPV's in recent memory.
Damnit, I wish I could have been there....but it was just one of those months, budget wise. Too bad Randy lost. I hate to say it, but the guy really should just pack it in.
