Must be since GSP is hurt......They must have been planning the Hughes rematch for 69 maybe......

Dana said on the radio here last year that they were looking at having a show in Houston. This would be so sweet.

Im a bit bummed that the show wont be in Montreal as I had hoped because I cant travle to Texas to attend. However, I do like the fact that they are open to holding shows in places other than Las Vegas and in California. Id like to see them come back to CT and hold a show as well. Im sure if they were to put on another show on the east coast, it would have a very good turnout. Maybe they should think about that for when GSP and Serra do fight since Serra is from the east coast. I would assume there would be a large turnout for the "hometown" boy.

I feel bad for the Canadians. But they canceled the show so you'll get to see GSP in a good title fight. Once that becomes a possiblity i'm sure you guys will get to see it live.
