Tom Atencio said earlier this week that while he won't announce the final numbers, that the numbers are over 100,000 PPV Buys. Most people have claimed this to be a HUGE success, but I am not sure why. Dave Meltzer reported that UFC 86 did 520,000 buys and GSP vs. Matt ...
Calm down, nothing major fellas (and ladies). It's due to the injuries sustained from UFC 86. The full list of injuries is as follows (10 of the 18 fighters):
Lyoto Machida made a few statements after Forrest Griffin's win over Rampage: In my opinion, Quinton defeated Forrest, but they give it to Forrest. I think that now they are going to put him against Chuck Liddell to him to take the belt again. I think they prefer Chuck with the belt, he is a former champion, has more marketing and sell more”

It appears that a Griffin Jackson Rematch is in discussion. The question would be will we have to wait for other fights first. White is quoted as saying "Rampage wants a rematch, Forrest said right away it is only right to give Rampage a rematch and it is a huge fight to do again. But there are a lot of great fights now Forrest is champion, the rematch being one of them, so we'll look at that over the next few months."
Too many people are debating around the web on who the winner of last nights bout between Forrest Griffin and Quinton Jackson. Questions arose as most of the press wanted it to be a draw. As Dave Meltzer provided on Wrestling Observer the judges score cards were Adalaide Byrd who ...
In an event that many are complaining about, mmachump.com watched an event that had good stories both inside and outside the octagon.

Quinton Jackson Vs. Forrest Griffin Rampage and the Original Ultimate Fighter both looked ready for war. Jackson with the look of a pitbull about to be let off his chain, and Griffin loose, and smiling excited for his opportunity.
With all the news focusing on the Affliction Banned card, I think many folks may be forgetting about UFC 86. After watching TUF 7 for 13 weeks, Jackson and Griffin have turned their playful friendship into an intense rivalry. I think Rampage wants to prove that he is still the badest ...
In Rampage's Interview, it's clear he is confident that he will win this fight. I didn't count it up but I think he says "ass whoopin" more than a dozen times. He is certain that Forrest will fall as a chump and get an ...
