    I'll defiantly watch the UFC event, just because it's free over the Affliction event. Though the Affliction event will more than likely be better, I'll just watch it on the internet the next day.

    You wrote Frankie Edgar vs Hermes France twice. I'd edit it but Opera doesn't work well with this site and aol is a pain in the ass too.
