By the way is anyone going to see 111 in the select theaters?
I work as a projectionist at a theater thats showing it.
I was hyped when I saw the ad.
Went to go check with box office to see much admission was.
$20.

For that much, you might as well find a friend and split the cost of the actual pay-per-view.
Maybe even some brew or somethin.
 
^^Wow, I would def get some friends together and watch at one of our places. $20 is 2x what they should be chargin.
 
damn really? $20 is a bit steep. I mean there is some value to seeing it on a huge screen like that, but you can't even drink at most movie theatres. Part of the enjoyment is the whole experience. Not just watching the fights, but getting together with friends, grubbin out on some food, drinking some beers, etc... etc... I typically order the PPV at my place and invite the crew over, but I've been in the process of moving for the better part of 6 months now and my living room is an effin trainwreck. Luckily I found the next best option, a bar about half a mile from my place that shows every UFC PPV with no cover AND they have weekend happy hour that runs til 8pm! I just load up on 2 for 1 drinks and apps til 8pm and then I cruise the rest of the way with 2-3 regular priced brews (yea i know, I'm frugal and damn proud of it). Usually I can end up walking out with a bar tab of around $60 for me and my wife which is pretty close to what it would cost for me to order the PPV. Best part, no having to clean up after all my friends!

If anyone happens to live in or around West LA (longshot), I'll be posted up at Cabo Cantina this Sat for the fights. Maybe I'll see someone there.

UFC's Thiago "Pitbull" Alves will not fight at Saturday's UFC 111, because a CAT Scan shows an irregularity in his brain ... TMZ has learned.

Thiago was scheduled to rumble with Jon Fitch on Saturday -- but a pre-fight CAT Scan revealed an irregularity -- a source close to 26-year-old Pitbull tells TMZ the irregularity involves an artery in the brain.

UFC honcho Dana White tells TMZ he will fly Pitbull to a specialist for further evaluation. White says, "If it's true, it can be career-ending."

No one will replace Pitbull on Saturday. The headliner is Georges St- Pierre -- ironically, the fighter who solidly beat Thiago in his last fight last July.

This guy has been out of action for like a year now, I was really looking forward to that fight too.  Ah well, hopefully he's alright and they just add that fight to 112 or 113.
 
they just replaced alves lol with ben saunders. and the guy saunders was going to fight isn't.

if saunders win he gets a title shot
 
Very dangerous fight for Fitch. Good job on both guys taking the fight. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if Saunders does geta title shot if he wins. The only fights I'm intrested in now in the welterweight divison for GSP is Saunders and Paulo Thiago.
 
I wanted to see Alves vs. Fitch. Oh well. Maybe they will add Jake Ellenberger vs. Thiago Alves for 113 or 114 since they have no matches.
 
1. i think JDS is good but he needs to add size if he wants to fight against Brock/Mir/Carwin. Those guys are HUGE2. Jones wont fight Rashad, they train together.3. How could the King Mo vs Mousasi turn into a mismatch? I can understand hendo vs shields though.4. Saunders shouldnt get a title shot. It should be Koscheck.
 
Call me crazy, I smell an upset. Dan Hardy talking too much but I feel he gonna KO GSP.

I'll call myself crazy for thinking this.

This is wayyy to big of a step up for King Mo. He is still a prospect, he's not ready for Mousasi or any Top 10 LHW for that matter.

Agree.. I would also like to see him against Semtex, if he can get past KOS.
 
This will go down as another 3 round John Fitch snoozefest.

Dont get me wrong, I like Fitch and admire his ability to control almost every welterweight in the division.

He just seems content to wait out the victory.
 
Got my GSP Fight Club tee on deck for tomorrow night!


I haven't been this hyped since... well the lat time he fought!!


FTR, I have him taking a 3rd rd. TKO by ref stoppage

I will be in attendance for 111! Was one of the lucky few who got free tix from Dana last night. I was the second one to get there and he handed me 4 lower level tix which run for over 400$ each
eek.gif
, I was just going to be satisfied with a bleacher seat or something
laugh.gif
. This is definitely a dream come true since GSP is my favorite fighter and this is the first event remotely close to NYC. Dana was a cool dude too, let me take a pic and even gave a call to one of my friends for me, I should be on his vlog and might even get the chance to meet GSP prior to the fight if he remembers to call in my seats to come back stage

Im not even mad that Alves is out, Saunders vs Fitch might turn out to be a better fight to watch.
