I do love watching different people interpret TV ratings and PPV figures. It’s always so extreme. Either…
UFC DELIVERS DISAPPOINTING RATINGS – SIGN OF PEOPLE LOSING INTEREST IN MMA?
or
UFC WATCHED BY MILLIONS – SPORT CONTINUES TO GROW RAPIDLY.
Iain: The stories that fall into the latter category are likely to have just read the press release and said, “Hmm, the press release seems to be happy with the ratings.” The story that fall into the former category are likely to have actually compared the ratings to previous UFC ratings.

Jose— The wrestler is likely to be publicly identified by the reporters in Atlanta soon. Whoever it is, it’s likely that he or she magically passed all of their WWE drug tests or got the policy-credibility-destroying “doctor’s exemption,” just like Chris Benoit did for all of the steroids that he was taking.
Mike Knox.
