GSP himself said he need to improve his finishes. I agree with it too. I think he didn't want to break Hardy's arm and pussed out at the moment of truth.

They promoted the shit out of it. It was on buses, billboards, radio spots, the primetime special...they knew they had to double down on promotion because GSP was fighting a can(in contrast, i see Hardy as slightly above Marcus Davis) and it looks to have paid off.

I saw Cain Velazquez and nog on a bus does that mean they got the shit promoted out of it?????

maybe, but i guess i missed their primetime special..

...don't be a dick bird, it's not your style.

Let me add i'm not denying GSP's drawing power if people thought that, or the fact the HW's were fighting. I was just pointing out that UFC put in extra work to sell the bum he was fighting just in case.

Cain vs Nog also had a prime time special. It wasn't a three part mini-series like GSP vs Hardy was, but there was still an in depth interview and "watch them train" hour special.

They do that for every show. They call it a countdown. Not only did 111 have a countdown, but also a prime time. We all know that.

Sounds right. I thought it would do about 700-750. The earlier reports of 850 seemed high. I didn't buy that
