		<description>Notice the spelling mistake in the last quote, and finally this one:

&quot;grow up, we&#039;re subjected to ebonics and we can&#039;t tolerate a japanese man trying to speak proper english?  get over it.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Didnâ€™t they have something like that on old Ultimate Submissions special with Ricco Rodriguez? They could reuse that clip.&lt;blockquote&gt;

Marc Laimon had &#039;On the mat&#039; for a good number of UFC PPVs where he demonstrated techniques, but they eventually stopped showing it. I thought it was a good idea, personally, and having it as a part of the UFC site (the videos explaining the techniques to the fans and even to commission members and judges/referees that were unfamiliar with how fans can be won/lost on the ground as well as on the feet; it&#039;d also be important to explain the finer of points of takedowns (since there are varying levels of success in terms of position taken, if the fighter taken down &#039;assisted&#039;, etc.) and the use of knees and kicks in the stand-up since most of these officials are former Boxing officials with limited experience beyond traditional Boxing technique).</description>

		<description>Tony,  I said that in this part: &quot;Please note Iâ€™m not saying that I think this challenge is going to come to fruition, this is just from a fantasy match-up standpoint of â€œwhat ifâ€ it did happen.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I 100% agree, It would be nice if the UFC started doing those short segments again in the middle of matches explaining jujitsu techniques. Some promotion should bring that type of thing back.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Didn&#039;t they have something like that on old Ultimate Submissions special with Ricco Rodriguez? They could reuse that clip.</description>

		<description>@ Ivan

Why are you even entertaining this ludicrous idea?

This is the realm of fantasy bookers.

UFC is in such a superior position right now, they can simply cherry pick top Pride fighters and have them fight under the UFC banner.  Why on earth would they put themseleves in a position to be perceived as equal to, or inferior to Pride.

The only circumstances I can see this card happening under is if UFC buys Pride.  And even then I think such a star-studded card (while great from a buyer&#039;s perspective) is foolish from a promoter&#039;s perspective.

This is the year where UFC proved that it&#039;s the top fight on a acard that draws.  One fight, two stars, and a lot of lower-level fights in the undercard.  Our days of &quot;supercards&quot; are ending with Pride&#039;s apparent demise.

Anyway, there&#039;s no way it&#039;s happening, so the less we entertain this, the better.</description>

		<description>So Murray&#039;s back in? Oh man, talk about being dumb ;) I just hope that he&#039;ll be extradicted sooner or later, and gets what he deserves. I can&#039;t understand how anyone in their right mind can justify what he did (like dozens of Sherdoggers). The man&#039;s a crook, plain and simple...</description>
