This is the third year in a row thet've pulled this crap on us (89-90, 105-106, 120-121) pretty soon the UFC are going to be flogging PPV's with a man and his dog in the o2.

And yet UFC fans over there will keep paying the money. Does that say more about the UFC or the fans over there?

Pulled what? Followed up your event with one in CA? I don't get what the article has to do with anything.

Can see what you mean with this....an event in Britain will generate news over here and after all of these news stories will be little snippets and ads for the next few PPVs.
I just glad we get another event this year, even if the card isn't amazing

my understanding is that the OP is referring to the PPV which happens a week after each of the UFC events, so he means the UFC UK event is merely being used regularly as an advertising platform for the US event which takes place a week after.

Oh. So, bitching about the quality of the card. Yeah, there are like three threads for that already.
