I don't like how the new ufc match makers think its a good idea to put together 2 new promising prospect like Gillespie and Pichel.
I have been a bit less obsessed with mma recently, and so, like Baal, i never heard of those 2 dudes. After reading Ricain's comment, i realized they are promising prospects. I kinda would rather see them fight well known names to see if they're truly good or not. For example, Gillespie vs Lentz and Pichel vs Tibau.
A casual fan will see 2 unknown and lose interest. But if an unknown fights a well known fighter, the casual will look up the unknown and realize that's a real prospect and be excited for the fight.

The New York commission has a major issue every time the UFC visits... such bullshit.
They as Aguilar to get checked out, she does and gets cleared, then the NY commission pulls her from the fight a couple hours before she is supposed to fight...
