    Yeah, I just checked Ticketmaster, good seats are still up for grabs. Hmmm. Maybe the last time the UFC goes to Anaheim for a while...

    I think the last time the UFC goes to SoCal for awhile. Tickets don't sell well down here, IIRC. I don't think UFC 104 sold well, either.

    If you're not the Lakers, your tickets aren't going to sell right now in SoCal.

    I would go, but Oct. is a horrible month financially for me.

    ^ If it stays like this you might be able to show up the night of and try and get a good seat on the cheap, if not from the box office than from a scalper.

    Or maybe just follow Dana's Twitter for when/where he's handing out comps.

    I'm hoping Kampmann pulls it off.

    I forgot about Hamill/Ortiz. I hope Hamill wins. I want Tito to fucking retire.

    ^ Tito hasn't won in four years. Unless he wants to keep having spinal fusion surgery (he's had two already) he should be thinking about retiring.

    Am I crazy in thinking Velasquez has no chance in this one? I don't think he can reach Brock with his boxing and against the cage/on the mat it seems Brock has an impossible size advantage.

    I just saw the Carwin/Lesnar fight for the first time.

    NOBODY is beating Lesnar.

    Uppercuts and elbows to the face you say?....fuck you, he's still winning

    Im scared of him even when hes on my computer monitor

    Yeah, I think Lesnar wins...but I'm predicting Velasquez to win because I want him to win.

    Awesome seeing Tito get booed in SoCal haha!

    That fight only made me believe that Brock can be beaten. Granted, virtually no one else is Carwin's size with that kind of strength but Carwin really took him to school in the standup. Any half-way respectable MMA fighter wouldn't have been such a dead fish in the second round either. Credit Brock for having a great chin, underrated stamina, and being a tough bastard but he showed that there's some chinks in that armor IMO.

    How much did Velasquez weigh in at?
