Funniest match ever was he and Jake Roberts with fake punches to the face being illegal." I think you're confusing two matches. The Blindfold Roberts/Martel match and the HBK/Martel match with Sherri in the middle. Man, I miss 80s WWF. I didn't really know what was going to happen (I was a kid and the internet was a sparkle in Al Gore's eye) and old school psychology was still prevalant. “Rick Martel was the greatness.

Especially when he's sitting cage-side at UFC shows decked out in his pink truffled shirt. All he needs a pink can of "Arrogance". He could stand up and spray it each time the camera focuses on him. brashleyholland Says:

Is it possible the show is being used to show potential (Zuffa) buyers the depth of UFC’s talent pool?" I would think this is almost certainly not the case. It's not as if the "For Sale" signs are up on the front lawn - they've simply admitted that, like everything, there are figures people could offer that would tempt them to do business. If they wanted a show to act as a portfolio to potential buyers then you'd stack a PPV card and go for a high buyrate rather than a decent TV rating. I would say they are more likely to be making a point to network television with this card than any investor. “Zach, what is the explanation for why UFN 13 has so many great matchups?

Funniest match ever was he and Jake Roberts with fake punches to the face being illegal. Rick Martel was the greatness.
