They have to start the fight soon in order to fit the full five rounds in the show.

My assumption was the fight would be started by 9:20.. that doesn't look like it's happening now.

Yeah, 29 minutes for a five round fight plus walkouts and the decision announcement. I don't get it.

Early report on Bloody Elbow already said that the fight is slated to start at 9:35.

ok, so when is the fucking fight? i stopped playing vidya games just to watch the fight, not a bunch of re-run shit about mexicans and brazilians being poor. I want to see Dos Santos clobber this guy already...

9:35 makes sense, but not really since it could go 25 minutes and add in the between round breaks and that would mean it runs late with zero room for post-fight analysis. Dumb. I understand getting to know the fighters, but I think this is a bit much. We'll see who was right when the ratings come out.

25 minutes for the fight, + walk outs, ring intros and the 5 1 min between round breaks.... they need to get this shit rolling already.

A-List ad buys: Video games, USMC, Two and a Half Men, a local casino.

The UFC has truly arrived.

Trolling aside, BE said that the event managed to sell out the ad buys at 100k per 30 second spot, which is more than the 50k per 30 second spot that this timeslot usually gets.

They are re-airing the prime time stories. What is the point of even having that if we see it twice?

This is basically a pregame show. Why are you guys freaking out?
Why isn't The Reem in the booth? No one except hardcore MMA fans know who he is, the UFC should be selling him.
