BTW, anyone watch the UFC2 series on SpikeTV today? They had a marathon on it. It was good to watch. Looking forward to #3 as well as so other PPVs

The smart thing I believe for MMA is to continue to have a lot of free TV matches. Before these Elimination programs, they kept to themselves on PPVs and DVD sales. The move to free TV has given them immense coverage to whole new audiences. Hell my wife doesn't mind watching MMA. Boxing she always asks me to turn the channel.

Another thing the elimination series has done is give us insights into different fighters. They need to keep that up, even outside of the Spike TV seres somehow. I think it's what kept my wife interested in the show and subsequent TV matches. She can identify with certain fighters. That's not something to be taken lightly as the sport grows.
