UFC 100 — Are You Excited?
Posted by Dave Walsh on July 10th, 2009
UFC 100 — tomorrow night — marks a very important milestone for the Ultimate Fighting Championship as they will put on their 100th numbered UFC event. The countdowns and the hype have been non-stop now for the past few weeks, with things really heating up now as we are in the home stretch. UFC has taken over a ton of major media outlets, with the ESPN main page featuring some prominent build-up to UFC 100 to Yahoo! Sports giving up even calling its MMA section “MMA” and now renaming it to their “UFC” section.
On top of that, ESPN’s MMA Live has a slew of broadcasts tonight and tomorrow from the Mandalay Bay Events Center hyping up the show, including the Weigh-In Special tonight and a special preview later on tonight as well.
Sports Illustrated’s website has a ton of UFC 100 coverage as well, with Josh Gross being one of the few “mainstream media” writers that seems like an actual fans.
