That's what I'd like to see, is the ring itself.

It's AWESOME to be him. How many jokes can you possibly make? I'm going with "shock and awe" as his nickname.

I wonder how the weird slope is going to affect groundwork. I've never done BJJ on a slope before, so i'm wondering what effect it's going to have.

Dude, Yamma looks badass! Come on, the return of the 8 man tourny, masters superfights, crazy mystery fighting surface, over the top marketing...what's not to love?

Doesn't look like the card is shaping up to well though. After the final card was announced, two fighters dropped out of the tournament. They get replaced, but Don Fry gets injured and drops out of his superfight. Fry is replaced by Pat Smith. A week later, Pat Smith is arrested and forced out of his fight. Mark Kerr steps in as a replacement for a replacement. Now, it looks like Goodridge is out of his super fight with Butterbean(http://dreamfighters.com/site/?actio...&id=1207168011) for getting KO'd last week.

This card is becoming like that Simpsons episode where all those pro baseball players get a job at the power plant to play on the company team, only to all suffer a seperate misfortune and get forced off the final game. Now, I'm just waiting for Butterbean to fall off into oblivion and for Bob Meyrowitz to forbid Oleg from competing for not shaving his "sideburns".

Man, that sucks. Only one man can rescue this event!

AHAHAHA!!! As if this event couldn't get any crazier: http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=12133

So, now we have a replacement who was replaced by another replacement coming back to replace someone else in a different fight. On top of that, the replacement to said original replacement has apparently not been approved by the athletic commision yet, and may be replaced as a result.

My head hurts...

LOL, awesome. What a clusterfuck.

I think I have to order the ppv now.

"In this ring, if a fighter is pushed backwards towards the fence, he moves up the lip, gaining both a height and leverage advantage over his opponent. From this position, the fighter on the lip can use gravity and leverage to reverse his opponent and take the fight back into the center without a break in the action."

Or, you could push your opponent to the edge, gaining height to make it easier off-balance him, or possibly pick him up for a slam?

Sounds... different.
