UFC Last Night

Last night may have been a turning point for UFC. After going along with the idea for a while now that they can just throw any fight out on PPV and expect it to do okay, they finally brought back some fighters to sell PPVs. Very smart move on their part. As outlined yesterday, Tito and Shamrock as TUF coaches is a fantastic idea and sets up all sorts of fights. It looks like they are going to make Tito vs. Forrest Griffin first, which is another fight that I think will generate interest. Plus they brought back B.J. Penn, which creates a stacked WW division with Hughes, St. Pierre, and Penn along with Sanchez, Diaz, Parisyan, Riggs, etc. And Mir vs. Arlvosky is on, which is at least a decent HW fight. Of course I expect Arlovsky to run straight through him, but it's a fight some people have been wanting to see. As far as the show itself, I thought it was pretty good. Certainly not amongst the best UFC shows, but enough interesting stuff, and the Franklin KO of Quarry was sick.
