Tonight the UFC invades Calgary for UFC 149. The preliminary action has a Canadian in on every fight. Below is...
"Great night so far!!!! Love when idiots shit on a card before it happens. It makes for great events :)" - From Dana White's Twitter (@danawhite ), Nov 5, 2011
As cliche as it may be, styles make fights. We should all know this by now, especially the media. It's not how big a draw the fighters are in the main event, or how many top 10 fighters are on the card. In the weeks leading up to the fight it was amazing to see how many articles were about how Munoz and Leben were not worthy of main event status. The position would be understandable if the UFC was trying to market the card as a pay-per-view, but it was free! Why gripe about free fights?
The pay-per-view event, featuring a light heavyweight contest between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt Hamill, takes place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.
