    It's over, and its a disgusting shameful death.

    Lost 55 mil in 2 years, made a complete mockery of the sport, broke the law, did everything wrong.

    Good job Shaw, good job Showtime, good job CBS.

    Tell me again how bad the UFC is and how anybody could do Dana's job.

    God ****ing damnit, now I don't get to see Lawler on TV.

    Jeez I half joked that they would not last more than two months before the last show. Damm shame but not surprising.

    Surprised, Their arenas looked jam packed with fans, I guess the promoters were giving seats away.

    Wow, that's ugly. Much credit to Dana White for making it work all these years.

    It was obvious this was coming. I was looking forward to the Carano/Santos fight though....

    No legit organization left will sign Kimbo. We know the UFC won't and neither will Affliction.

    Was reading Dave Meltzer's blog on yahoo and according to him "Several agents for fighters have been in contact all day with the UFC."
