Re: Ufc

I don't think there'll be a steroid test. I don't think everyone gets tested, and I believe tests might be more prevalent for a title fight ie: Sherk.
And you're right about bringing in a 'sports entertainer' as a marketing ploy. Even if Mir hands Lesnar is ass (which I'd love to see!), the ratings/fees for PPVue alone have to be worth it, even if UFC doesn't retain the new fans over the long haul.

I also liked the original UFC fights, but think that the rules now are a better thing. I don't like seeing a 20 minute clinch, or 2 guys lying on the fence for too long.
