Cough it up - $39.95.  Heck of a card though. Besides the two big ones, which ones do you hope most make the ppv time? Cruz Monsoon and I hope to see Tanner, and Diaz Sherk should be good, and Terrell of course but probably wishful thinking to get all that. AA may help shorten the time, but to see him go a good distance would be great.

lol Good point with "AA might shorten the time"... im sure itll be a good 12 mins shorter than tito/forrest.
I like all your picks-- I wanna see Monson, definitely Tanner, be kool to see Karo again, and Terrell/Smith sounds like it can be explosive.
Cross your fingers, we better get more fights than last ppv.
YOU HEAR THAT DANA!!? MORE. ALOT MORE.

Tito walked right the F$#@ away from Forrest after the stare down. What a wonderful display of sportsmanship on his part. (So much for the softer side of Tito.) I officially want Forrest to knock his ass into dreamland. Before I was hoping for a good fight, not anymore.
Forrest even stepped forward to show him some respect at the end. Rather than shake his hand ala Randy and Chuck, Tito turned his back and walked away. What a bad-ass! Phil Baroni would be proud.
To all the members of the “Tito Bandwagon Express” get ready for a bumpy ride.

Tito is going to smash Forrest. Fight of the night will be Sherk vs. Diaz. Upset of the night is going to Levens.
Alves vs. Noble will also be a good one but we most likely won't see it.

So Forrest whiping his face right infront of Tito with a big smirk isn't disrespect at all? Gotta earn respect first! Tito has always shown respect to everyone he fights after the fight. Even Shamrock was given respect after the fight. Love him or hate him, the Hunington Beach Bad Boy is back and Forrest is in for a beating.

Yeah I'm not sure what the face-motioning thing was all about... i don't know what he meant there.
Either way, Titos just gonna take him down over and over...
hopefully actually hurting/cutting him with elbows... more of a GnP ufc 40 tito than the ufc 50 LnP Tito.

Oh man, I'm pumped now this is gonna OWN!!
Not sure if I heard right but was AA 234.5 lb? that's like 10lb lighter than norm, coulda mis-heard though. Night night Tim.
For some reason I got a bit of a feeling Forrest is gonna do a number on Tito. ortiz is an awesome athlete but he seems a bit too big in the head, could be his downfall. Monkey punch in the 3rd?

UFC.Tv says that Tanner/Levens might not be broadcast. Anybody know if this is the swing? I hope so. Im def looking forward to seeing ET in the octagon again.
