On May 31st, I noted a funny Nikkan Sports article in which K-1 matchmaker Sadaharu Tanigawa was claiming that the UFC 60 PPV drew 800,000 buys. Oddly, that posting got very little response online.

Instead we get the Wayans dufus no 2 mispronouncing Royce's name and making fun of the sport. Ugh. I’m still scratching my head why the UFC didn’t show Sakuraba on camera at the last ppv.
