Me too bad we are so far away this is a beer drinker night and pizza.
 
The big forum arguments here are usually between the supporters of Cage Rage and Cagewarriors, some of it gets very funny at times! The UFC isn't regarded I think here as much as it is in the States. We have a good many very good shows here and even more good fighters, I would even suggest by comparison the UFC is a little boring at times! the excitement of the UFc coming here is a bit muted really and it's not the first time it's been here. The last one in London's Albert Hall wasn't a sell out by any means. It may have been the tickets were too expensive as they are again this time. Average ticket prices for shows here are Ā£20-40, the UFC I believe are selling for Ā£100 upwards for not very good seats.

Yet the UFC is now the pinnacle of MMA events. (at least for the moment) With the purchase of Pride and the ability to mix and match the best fighter's the UFC is really, really strong at the moment. The quality of fighter's coming to the UFC has been on the rise for the last few years and seems to be even more on the upswing. (They are getting the best now)

Let us all hope though thtat Cage Rage and CageWarriors grow and can compete with the UFC as that is definately good for all of us viewer's!

It is also good for the growth of the sport as more fighter's get a chance than if there are only a couple of major sanctioning bodies.

Results from Cage Rage. what may amuse the TMA people (like me too) is how Abdul Mohamed won his fight! Abdul, a really nice guy is usually known for his wrestling.
