The countdown show will be aired here in less than an hour..

Would any of you guys be interested if I posted updates? Or will that just get me in trouble?

(I think it’s the latter. Haha)

Maybe your thoughts on if it hyped the fights effectively.

they're featuring franklin vs wand

But they are also doing a great job of hyping up a potential silva vs silva fight..

I don’t know if that is bad in a sense that it could take away attention from 99, but it reallyyyyy builds up interest to a future silva silva war..

And an interesting note: wands left eye is really red and probably got poked at the time they filmed this..

But the fighter that they marketed the best,

Is Cain velasquez..

They really brought the hype train here and if he wins against Kongo, he’ll most likely get the next shot based on how they are building him up here..

Veryyyy good job by the ufc in marketing him as the scary next big thing in the HW division.

No worries, if anything it just makes me want to see it more and act sick so I can go home early and wait for it while playing UFC Undisputed! Time drags here at wk. :(
