UFC 71

Earlier today I sent out this email to the group in regards to UFC 72:
"Apparently people are interested in seeing these fights and one anonymous donor has expressed interest in paying for half the cost of the fight, which I don't think is necessary. The fight is $50 in HD, then there's the cost of food. The question is, do we all pitch in for the fight AND the food, and I'll get both OR do we all pitch in for just the fight and then each bring some food. The latter is easier for me since I don't have to go buy the food, etc. I can supply paper products and what not. So let me know what you'd prefer. Hit up the blog and comment if you want."

But then I got to thinking about it, and I don't know why we're worried about UFC 72 when we have UFC 71 coming up in just a few weeks and that's the LIDDEL vs. JACKSON fight. That's what we need to be talking about. Where is it going down? My place? Someone else's? It's doesn't matter to me...Sarah works that night, so I am going to watch it regardless.
