There is a lot going on this weekend

Friday

8pm - (Fightpass) - VFC, pretty decent B-level promotion, but you probably won't watch because...

8pm - (Fightpass) - UFC Fight Night 102 in Albany, no TV, fightpass only. Yes, there are two fightpass-only cards starting at the same time. I have no idea why the UFC would put some other promotion's card on fightpass at the same time as their own card. Maybe they were contractually obligated and screwed up the scheduling. Main event is cool, but aside from that its almost all prospects.

Saturday

12:30 pm - (Fightpass/3pm $30 PPV) - Glory Kickboxing: Rico vs Badr. I don't know very many kickboxers, but even I have heard of Badr Hari, and they seem to think they have a card compelling enough to try to sell it as a cheap PPV. The main event is a heavyweight title fight that kickboxing fans seem to be really hyped for.

3pm - (Spike) - Bellator 168. Smart move by Bellator, they didn't want to go head to head with the UFC, so they figured they could pre-game it for hard core fight fans who would then switch over to UFC. But when I looked at the burnt offering they are calling a fight card, I'm thinking maybe I'd rather see Glory. This card looks like hell even by Bellator standards.

5:30 pm - (Fightpass/7pm FS1/9pm PPV) - UFC 206. Casual fans will be out on this one, but a lot of hard core fans are going to buy this. Without a real title fight and Cowboy on the card, I figured this would be a BWW card. Interesting enough to want to watch at a bar, but not enough to buy. Then I looked at the card, and forget about titles, the last 4 fights are good and the last 3 look like pure violence and madness. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do, I'm seeing this, just not sure if I'll be watching it at home.

Sunday

Nothing accessible or worth mentioning. Go watch football.
