i'm glad to see it on FOX but they dropped the ball on this one. You're not going to get anyone else interested in UFC if they watch for an hour to see 1 minute of action. They should have shown some of the other fights they had through out the night. If their contract with UFC only allows 1 fight a night, FOX got screwed.

I really don't care about UFC being on Fox, but it was nice to see Junior knock out Cain. I imagine the rematch will be a completely different fight.

I dont think they dropped the ball at all. This was a pre show to get interest out there. They showed a heavy weight fight, that ended in a knock out. Always exciting! The reason for a one hour show with only one fight was because their deal doesnt start till next year. The next one will have more than one fight for sure. JDS is awesome, I was excited to see that over hand right come in heavy!

The problem is that most people that aren't really familiar with it thought it was a waste of time. I heard a few people in the bar I was at complaining about watching an hour long show for less than 1 round of fighting, said they didn't see what the big fuss about MMA is. I wish it would have went longer also but that was a helluva punch. I just hope the next show on FOX has multiple fights so poeple can really see how amazing these athletes are.

looks like dana is saying 2 hours and 4 fights for the first fox show next year! I could see how non fans could have a hard time swallowing it, but theyll come around if they have the potential to be fans.

The actual contract agreement with Fox doesn't even start until 2012. After 2012 ALL PPV prelim fights will be on either FX or FUEL TV. Also, the Ultimate Fighter Show will be on FX with a LIVE fight EVERY Friday. I see the Cain/JDS fight as a lose lose. If the fight goes 5 rounds and ends in a decision, then the new fans or casual fans complain about how boring it was and if it ended as it did they complain about how short it was. Those of us who have been following the UFC since its inception and I'm not talking about the UFC after the first Ultimate Fighter show knows that these things happen. I personally watched a hockey game all the way up until the fight started to skip all the BS beforehand.

Any MMA fans on the site?

 

How about that JDS!? dominated cain in 64 seconds.

I was very happy to seen Junior to win.

Hoping to see Lesnar beat Overeem!!!!!!!! WARRR

 

 

If Brock can take him to the ground right away he should have a chance. If not, he's going to turtle up once he starts getting hit like he did against Cain Velasquez. Overeem is one of the best kickboxers in MMA and is a feared and very brutal striker. The fight starts standing at the beginning of every round, best game plan for Brock is to shoot right away and take him down.

 

Alistair Overeem wins this by brutal KO!

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
