That's why all the fighters wann go fight for them. But when those shows don't make their numbers expected everyone will either go to ProElite ( Elite XC, Strikeforce, ect.) UFC, or Dream and maybe even K-1. Yeah I don't think thesetwo promotions will last long. Look at DREAM.......... I like AA fights…..Adrenaline MMA and Affliction are expecting to be big money makers.

BJ isn't Matt Serra, he would dominate GSP on the ground he didn’t show anything new. so he’s known for placing a jab over and over onto someone’s face?

GSP will not get caught in a submission. he is much stronger and more explosive than sherk, and will plant BJ many times and do what he does, immediately passing to half guard and dropping bows. and by round 2 or 3 BJ will have shit the bed again and GSP will start to take over the standup and then put BJ on his ass again and work him over until the ref calls it or time expires and the call a lopsided decision in GSP's favour. you can say what you want about BJ being in shape and now being the best, but BJ was of the same skill level then, with the same camp, he just manned up and trained right finally. GSP has since grown tremendously as a fighter, learning new skillsets and improving his strengths, changed to one of the best camps in the world with some of the best gameplanning (except for jardine vs silva, shit), and he is bigger, stronger and faster than BJ. all the BJ nuthuggers who are already calling for idiocy like him beating GSP and then fighting Anderson should calm the hell down. GSP will show BJ and the rest of these fanboys why he and Silva are heads and tails above the rest. i like BJ, and he is hilarious and one of the best there is, but he is not the second coming, and sherk helped hand him that win by playing right into his hands. if he showed something new against GSP, id give him his due. but until then, he hasnt shown us what GSP or Anderson Silva has, and i dont believe he is prepared to handle either of those fighters given their evolution since BJ last fought above lightweight.

Herb, Mario, Maz, and the others ref a lot of other organizations. I remember Mario being involved in the fight for EXC when Lawler beat Ninja for the title. I've seen Maz on Showtime and Herb does a bunch of other fights too. No. The only ref that was under “exclusive” terms was Big John. Herb, Mario, Maz, and the others ref a lot of other organizations.

It wa my understanding that UFC refs were under contract with the UFC. However, I noticed that Herb Dean will be officiating some Adrenaline bouts. Does anyone know if UFC officials are under exclusive contract with the UFC? Thank you. I need an assist. It wa my understanding that UFC refs were under contract with the UFC.
