It was reported last week in Croatian news that Lorenzo Fertitta flew in to Zagreb for 2 hour meeting with Mirko. After the meeting he returned to US right away. I found it very odd that he personally did that job. Only reason I could think of is that UFC realized that CroCop is must have for events in Europe regarding attendance. I also think they should feed him with stiffs if they want to squeeze a few more fights from him until they penetrate Europe.
But UFC 103 is in Dallas ... odd?
If they wanted to keep Cro Cop(why I have no real reason), then they had no choice but throw him on a US card because UFC has no plans on returning to Europe this year again.
This whole invade Europe thing is all Dana White's big dream plan and it is not working.
TV deals are falling into the crapper over there and events are struggling to sell tickets. The cards they have over there are usually weak and PPV sales in the US are the lowest ones they get.
GIVE IT UP DANA. Stick to the US and Canada. Europe is a dead zone, why not invade Asia and step on some Dream toes while you are at it?

That must be what is keeping them away from "Dream" land.
No Bob Sapp to market.
Dana will not admit that Europe has been a failure and move on. England not fully embracing a viloent sport kind of shocks me as well Dana. I don't blame you for trying,but at this point it just seems like you are just trying to polish a turd. Just don't see a huge breakthrough like he did in the North America. It is just not taking over there.

I got the perfect marketing tool for Dana:
UFC 111: This Time It's Personal
Kimbo Slice vs Seth Petruzelli
Right in DREAM'S backyard. There would be more Asian's there than at a China Panda on Saturday nght.
That card would be better than this crap in Dallas. Did I mention that UFC 103 is pathetic? I was gonna drive up to Dallas for it,but looks like it is not worth it.

Just have him fight Cro Cop then. UFC seems to think he has something left in the tank and the Asians love him.
Dana should really start asking for advice before setting these cards.
You know the Dallas one is bad if I am not willing to drive 4 hours to see it.
And while this thread is about Dallas card, why is UFC going to Dallas of all places???
Dallas is home of Mark Cuban who is tied in with HDNET and Cuban is trying to compete against the UFC.
Doesn't Cuban even have some cash tied in with Trump in Affliction.

For some unknown reason it appears the Fertitta's are fascinated with him.
I can promise you at some point Dana told them to just let this guy go.
I guess they didn't listen.

RE: Kimbo in Japan...
''Kimbo wanted too much money and overpriced himself. They did't want him and TUF 10 was the best option on the table given the extra incentives if he performs well on the show. '' - Kimbo Management
I was shocked to hear it too as I thought Japan would be a perfect fit...
but Japan had no real interest in him.

I wait all these f'ing years and this is the card I'm going to get here? What the hell is wrong, I blame it all on Cuban for us getting this crap card. :mj07:
Actually I think the Crocop vs Dos Santos could be a very good fight(doesn't deserve to be main fight though). Don't sleep on Crocop in this one if the line is right I'll be on him.
There's only one HW fight I want to see, it's Brock(if he wins) vs Fedor. If the UFC doesn't give it to us I'll be pissed.

that`s an interesting comment,layin`....i think if lesnar beats mir handily,that would be such a huge fight....and i give lesnar a real chance...
i think as we saw vs randy,lesnar`s stand-up is pretty decent....he`s not just a freak of nature(like say,bob sapp)....he brings real tools to the table(wrestling,stand-up, just plain size and strength...and he`s very athletic)....
if i were his trainer,i`d spend a majority of my time teaching him all about submission defense..i wouldn`t worry about teaching him to implement subs...not necessary....if he becomes proficient at sub defense,i have real trouble seeing him losing(short of getting caught by another behemoth,like say carwin)....
a fricking utterly amazing slice of human dna....
GW, I would die to see Fedor vs Brock. It would be the Mega fight of MMA. The UFC could afford to pay Fedor because the ppv dollars from all over the world would be HUGE!
