UFC 109 Relentless came at us on February 6, 2010 and lived up to it’s name:  Relentlessly boring.  OK, maybe not all of it was boring.  Seeing Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman was a good trip back to the olden times.  The Sonnen vs. Marquardt fight was definitely the fight of the night.  I guess you can’t have a really big fight card every time but it seems like these guys have been pulled out from the very back of the closet.  Let’s see some newer shinier “toys” mix it up next time.  I’m sure it will make shelling out the $50 for PPV easier.

Are You Even Listening? I'm tellin' you it was THIS big!

UFC104 came in with a mighty roar but kind of ended with a whimper.  A LOT of folks are unhappy that Shogun lost on points to Machida but that’s the breaks when you leave your fight results to the judges!  UFC104 was a pay per view event but, like UFC103, SPIKE TV aired a couple of the undercard bouts.  This is an excellent way to get more viewers to the UFC bandwagon and it also helps those of us that are tired of shoveling out $40 a pop for pay per view.  Of course, gas, a pint of suds and some nachos at the local sports bar won’t set you back $40 so that may be the way to go for us cheap skates!  Here are your UFC 104 results:
