    More UFC feedback from weekend

    big thumbs up for ufc 189  I got to hooters around 9:30pm it was pretty packed. By 10:00pm there were people lined up behind me. The crowed was really good, bigger then last years July show.

    NJPW G1 Climax 25 Night 3 (July 24) results: Hiroyoshi Tenzan vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi

David Finlay, Jay White, Mascara Dorada and Michael Elgin vs Satoshi Kojima, Tiger Mask, Yohei Komatsu and Jushin Thunder Liger This was rather short, but fun.
