Ortiz is no longer under UFC contract after losing to Machida and Lidell is 1-3 in his last four fights. Randy is finally returning but his second fight back will be against a very good intermin champ (either Mir or Noguira). I'm not picking on you. Your post reflects how people who don't follow the sport every day are fans of big name fighters rather than the top fighters. I guess that is business for ya. Hey Dave, you are a bit behind there.

I bet a UFC fight with one of their headliners (lidell, courture,ortiz, etc) could pull a 5 in the 18-49 demo. Higher in the young men demo.

If they do not buy it soon the promotion will go out of business. Originally CBS negotiated with the UFC but that fell through so they went with this small time promotion.
