This makes me feel better...

I thought I was like one idiot that had never heard about this.

WTF is "little Brazil"?

Has the line up changed?

Because according to this article Paulo Thiago vs Dave Mitchell is on the spike prelims, not Miller vs Palhares.

The lineup changed last week.

I went whale watching the other day. I think. There were a lot of people in that lake.

Good decision

Rather annoying though seeing as I don’t have Spike

Smart move by the UFC.

Hoping for some pictures to see how many New Yorkers are drawn to this. Must have been expensive. Good PR move and good public promotion by the UFC.

uh....

I do hope everyone is aware that a FRIKKIN HURRICANE is gonna hit the NYC area this weekend. Outdoor viewing will be minimal.

Also Little Brazil is awesome. A bunch of great rodízio and churrascarias

I bet it’ll be nice out Saturday. The news/weather stations always pull that crap; at worst, we’ll have showers.

No sir, I don't like it.

AW SHIT!!!!

I forgot all PPV’s are starting at 6 now.

I don’t get out of work until 7(at the earliest) and it takes me about 20 minutes to get home so looks like I’m gonna miss about an hour and a half of the PPV and every prelim.

Oh well, at least Junkie’s PBP is the shit every single time.
