    UFC will charge $5 more for PPV's ($59.95 up from $54.95) from 168 onward. Here's Dana White from 2009 insisting that wouldn't happen. Whoops.

    I can picture DFW next week: "$5 is nothing, if you're a real fucking fight fan you'll shut the fuck up and just pay for it. Its $5 fucking dollars. Either pay it or don't, but shut the fuck up."

    Update: The UFC will use the new price for the next PPV and then go back to the original price.

    When asked why the UFC is doing this, DFW's response was "'cause". Ok, then.

    Trying to capitalize on this big rematch is disgusting. That or there was so much fan outcry that dfw felt the pressure.

    I won't be ordering the fight.
