So their are weight divisions now? In the first UFC fight I can remember (in the early 90s) a French Savate practitioner weighing it at no more than 190 lbs took on a 450+ lb Sumo wrestler, and the fight ended quickly with a huge kick to the big guy's face, breaking his nose and making a bloody mess of the ring. Gracie beat the Frenchman in the finals with his usual brilliance.

Do the divisions mimic boxing's, or do they differ slightly?

And how much is the PPV charge?

[Mr. Mojo]

their = there

Last time I watched I got it for free. ....when satellite dishes were pretty much unregulated.

Lightweight - over 145 lbs. to 155 lbs.
Welterweight - over 155 lbs. to 170 lbs.
Middleweight - over 170 lbs. to 185 lbs.
Light Heavyweight - over 185 lbs. to 205 lbs.
Heavyweight - over 205 lbs. to 265 lbs.

There's now judges too. That really turned me off to the event for awhile.

I like the old days better, but the UFC's caved when John McStain and them started to run their big mouths to implement more rules.
