The Art Davie interview just came to me earlier today and I believe that is what he said. I figure they enrolled them in some BS class in order to take advantage of some student loophole or something like that.

“The competitors are all enrolled in the college.”

Really? Most of the XARM guys are in their thirties. The one guy (who lost on the first episode. Was his last name Verdell?) is 47 years old. I know there are many old college students, but I don’t think most of the XARM guys are college students.

According to Art Davie they are doing the big XARM fights in California on college campuses. This somehow eludes the CSAC. The competitors are all enrolled in the college.

Crack down on this, CSAC!

UFC sold out Sacramento the first time and drew something like 8,000 paid the second time. Anaheim sold out the first time; didn’t sell out the second time, and now the Honda Center seems to be Affliction’s “home” arena. UFC comped the hell out of the Staples Center and still came up 5,000 sort of a sellout.

Maybe UFC is simply seeing diminishing returns and aren’t in a rush to go back when there are still new markets to explore.

This is the correct answer.

Businesses go where the money’s at. The cost for going to one event for two people could pay for a whole year’s worth of UFC PPV. Live events are interesting once in a while but not every year. This is one of the reasons the UFC prefers to go to new states. The exception is Vegas where the fans who attend are already visitors from other states.

Man look, if you want to run CALI or New York you can’t have over-weight ladies taking pot shots at Ray Sefo.

The 750 dollar section might be cool if you are getting married in Vegas, but the reality is that we want to see GOOD FIGHTS.

That means good fights on the card, before the event happens — not the single main event and the wish that may-be, just maybe the card will be good if we lay down our money.

Perhaps I’ve eaten too much turkey already, but when Big Nog beats Mir and Lesnar, and Fedor still floats above the clouds, we’ll be right back where we were when PRIDE was still around.

Mirko — you don’t have to fight, just do what is best for your family.

Add me to the list of folks that think that it was dollars and not politcs that kept the UFC out of Cali.

Too bad they can’t bring this kind of financial pressure to New York. God knows they could use the money.

I’m sure that wasn’t a knock on Omaha… but it felt like one.
