Most people tuned in and saw Brookins and were like..
We gotta leave this on for a bit and see what the heck this guy is? Looks like a hippy/white-albino- alien character beating the hell out of some dood
well that's 2m people that missed an exciting card
but at least people keep watching, so it’s all good for the sport
Isn't 2 million quite a bit more than these free Spike cards usually draw?

Too Many Dam Commercials
Brothers – all them dam commercials made watching The UFC Fight Night Marathon almost unbearable. How many times did we have to watch those two idiots in the BK commercial dance with each other while trying to get laid by offering a BK Chicken Sandwich..We counted at least eight times.. Rotten!
Congrats to Brookings….

Invest in a DVR.
It’s well worth it for televised UFC events.

One thing that doesn't help is that Showtime doesn't really advertise Strikeforce
and the one commercial I DID see said “MME legends Henderso and Babalu”
"Remember that shit I gave you last week nigga? It's nothing nigga, it's nothin', it's nothing nigga, nigga it's nothing. This shit right here, nigga! This shit right here nigga, right here this shit nigga! This shit right here nigga!....This shit called deaf nigga!"
"That don't even sound attractive, you mean Ima hit it and die nigga?"
"Naw nigga, not death nigga, nigga DEAF! You hit this shit twice, you can't hear nothin'"
