I think I probably just missed actually meeting

Oliver in Las Vegas.  I was at the Hard Rock this past week and was leaving the day the ring crew was loading into The Joint for last night's Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale.  At least this season's main event was a well fought matchup unlike that Shamrock fiasco from last season.  I just wish I would have known that the UFC was gonna be there when I first booked my trip a few months back becuase I would have stayed the extra couple of days just to watch it live.

At least while I was in Vegas, I got to meet Alyssa Milano.  :)

I really wish they wouldn't use the Hard Rock in Vegas anymore.   The crowd isn't hot enough and it looks terrible on TV.   I understand that they don't want to hold a huge show when there's a PPV the following week (the last PPV was hurt by a UFC Fight Night in Florida) but the Hard Rock looks cheap on TV.

Hope you didn't blow it all playing it safe like Lytle did.

Actually... you didn't ;-)

I decided not to go because a) this TUF season didn't get me interested one bit and b) because I couldn't have picked two of the four finalists out of a lineup.

Besides... just went in October and will be going again for Tito and Chuck, so the urge to go now isn't as great right now ;-)

I completely agree with Oliver. Mike Bisby is a marketable character we got to see born from nothing (ALA Maven) while this year, noone gave two shits.

that's because Dana is listening to the suits at Spike TV and he put "veterans" into the mix this time, which wasn't all that brilliant of a marketing move for UFC.  If you are gonna go with guys that have been around, go old school with Shamrock, Severn, Abbott, and the Gracies... even if most or all are semi-retired from in ring competition, it would make for a weekly ratings grab for the "comeback kid" of the bunch.

Meeting Alyssa Milano or Oliver Copp? Sorry Oliver, but I'd rather meet Alyssa. How was that like Rick?

..... I really enjoyed TUF 4, I thought it was great that alot of the fighters had a history with each other.....
