Re: Houston Alexander - "It's all...
Thank god someone else thinks the show looks good.  Certainly a B-level show what with no title fights and a main event featuring two TUF vets...but a lot of fights that are interesting on paper and will likely be interesting in the cage.

I've been harsh on the show because the main event is more apt for a UFC Fight Night. There are some decent battles, though.

Re: Houston Alexander - "It's all...
It really falls into that "I wish the UFC put on some shows at a discounted price" category.  It'd be nice to see shows like this for $30.  That Belfast show was the first time I've not ordered a major (UFC, Pride, etc) MMA PPV in about 4 years.  I just wasn't paying more than 30 for that level show.  This one is more solid from top to bottom so I'll still end up shelling out for it.  So, I'm probably as much the reason why they don't lower prices than anyone.

"It's all business"
I've noticed as, im sure most of you have that the "overhyped" fights almost never live up to the hype. It's usually cards like this that wind up having some great fights. With that said, I wont be paying $50 for this. Both Bisping & Evans should have lost their last fights. This should be free on Spike TV.

"This should be free on Spike TV."

Correct. On free TV, this is a great fight. As a main event on PPV to decide #1 contender status? I don't think so.
