Local Bars Choosing Not to Show UFC PPV Events Due to Increased PPV Pricing? [Update]

I run a group through Meetup.com that gathers and watches UFC PPV events at local bars and pubs in the Washington, DC area. Recently, I found out that several bars in my area have opted to stop showing the UFC events because Joe Hand Promotions, the exclusive commerical distributor of UFC PPV events in the U.S., has (according to my contact at a local bar) "nearly doubled the price" of ordering UFC PPV's.

While no announcement has been made in regards to the potential weight classes being featured on TUF 11, FiveOuncesOfPain.com has also been able to confirm that fighters trying out for the upcoming telecast normally compete in the middleweight and welterweight divisions. Making a scenario where TUF 11 would possibly feature both the 170, and 185 pound weight classes a very probable one.

29% Ratings Drop For Second Episode of 'TUF 10'

Sherdog.com reports that this weeks past episode of TUF 10 saw a 29% drop in ratings. However, even with what seems like a staggering drop in ratings, the episode still managed to net 2.9 million viewers (2.2 rating) making it the top-rated show in its timeslot for Men 18-34. It also managed to beat (by only a hair's breath, mind you) the live finale of "The Ultimate Fighter 3" in 2006 which was the previous record holder at 2.8 million viewers.

I would love to fight Mayweather, just because of the simple fact that I think he's a cocky asshole.

In today's edition of the Mailbag on Yahoo! Sports, Kevin Iole reveals that MMA legend, and co-host of HDNet's "Inside MMA," originally came to the U.S. with the dream of becoming a comedic actor not a fighter. Currently Bas stars alongside Gary Valentine ("King of Queens") in an online series called, "Dusty Peacock." The show centers around a underachieving daredevil (Gary Valentine, "King of Queens") and his misfit team as he attempts death defying feats such as holding his breath for 5 minutes under water. Rutten plays Dusty Peacocks inept trainer who wears a painfully obvious toupee.
