I agree. Good card. The nest CBS card is in October I believe.
Re: Spider/Okami at UFC 88
This was a good card to watch. No fight was boring, all were exciting. Good, free card tonight.
October will treat us to 3 different saturday's of fights. The next Affliction, EliteXC, and UFC. Can't wait.
James Irvin tests positive....
UFC Fight Night 14 headliner James Irvin, who suffered a first-round TKO to Anderson Silva in the July 19 fight, tested positive for methadone and oxymorphone, according to a urinalysis conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer today confirmed the test results in an email sent to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Irvin has 20 days to request a formal hearing. If the ruling is upheld, he would then face a likely suspension of six to 12 months and a fine of up to $20,000"?his full fight purse for the event.
Methadone is a synthetic opioid usually used in treatment of opioid dependence for drugs such as heroin, though it can also be prescribed as a painkiller. Oxymorphone is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic (painkiller) often used for the relief of moderate to severe pain. The NSAC has approved neither prescription drug for usage by MMA competitors.
Silva and 10 other UFC Fight Night 14 fighters voluntarily submitted to a urinalysis during the event. All but Irvin tested clean.
UFC Fight Night 14, a late event booking that countered Affliction's debut pay-per-view event, took place at The Palms Las Vegas and aired on Spike TV. Irvin headlined a UFC event for the first time, and his fight with Silva peaked with a remarkable 4.5 million viewers.
Re: James Irvin tests positive....
Where can you purchase tickets for the fights that will be occurring at the Wise Fairgrounds? Also what is the price per ticket?
Thank You.

I've had these questions before. I'll try to get some better info and post it.
I know you can get tickets at Small Town Tattoos which is somewhere in Eastern Ky. Also at "The Gym" in BSG. There are other locations, I just don't know them. Also not sure about price, but I would think around $25 give or take $5.
I'll call the promoter in the next couple of days and get better info posted soon.
Re: James Irvin tests positive....
Looks like tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the gate. I'll get more info on ticket locations soon.

Re: UFC Video Game - New Video
Okay, just talked to the promoter for the fights at Wise on the 9th.
The Gym in BSG DOES NOT have tickets. Sorry for that misinformation.
HardRock Gym in Norton does have tickets. Smalltown Tattoos in Pikeville has tickets. Appalachian Credit Union has tickets. There are a couple of other locations, sorry i don't have those.
Tickets are $20 at the door or in advance. Childrens tickets are $10 and sold at the door only.
