If you have to choose as a fan, do you go to the UFC fight or the Men's Bodybuilding Finals? Those at home can have the Bodybuilding webcast on their computer and order the pay per view for the fight on TV, but those in Columbus - will have to choose.

Columbus just got a little more packed that weekend. Will it impact the expo and bring in new people to those who have booths? One could assume so.

Anyone who has ever seen the UFC before would go to that instead.

I was up there the week of Arlovski-Buentello. Arlovski had this huge entourage following him everywhere like he was a rock star and I bumped into Sylvia three times -- always alone without a fan or friend in sight. Easy come, easy go I guess. Mohegan is a great casino. Just wish they'd get poker tables!!

Berzerk....We in New England are the best sports region in the country...I'd take the 3 superbowl rings for the Patriots and the Red Sox 2004 World Series( which never thought I'd see) over one night of UFC...I love the UFC but will still take the great sports teams we have here year after year!!!

Too bad he's leaving the Giants for a morning talk show, while taking multi-million dollar paycut. Wow, you guys suck.

hahahaha, are you in CT? I'm right in the middle of that stretch.  If it's any consolation, my grandparents were raised New York fans way back in the day so I was kind of just brought into it. Grandfather even has a baseball signed by all the old Yankee greats.

But yes, Giants are going to win the Super Bowl, thanks for admitting that.

I'll be there covering the weekend for NPC NEWS and bodybuilding.com as well as getbig and hardbody.com

I'll do an interview if you can arrange for a giant foam finger to be in the shots.
