TNA did a 1.05 this week. I think that's the third week in a row.

PayPal did a major upgrade last week and there have been problems ever since. If your subscription ends up canceled by PayPal without your permission, which has happened quite a bit in the past few days, you'll likely have to go to the My Account area and re-sign up using all of your old information. Your new subscription will start whenever your old one was going to end, so you won't be double-billed for billed twice for x number of days. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Mike Swick injured a rib and if off the UFC Fight Night show on the 19th.

Balls Mahoney will appear on the season finale of Who Wants To Be A Super Hero? on Thursday night.

Randy Couture is the greatest man ever, and we'll tell you why. The cover story of this week's new 25,000-word Figure Four Weekly newsletter looks at his victory over Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 74 and why it was such an amazing feat. We'll look at the issues that Randy has to face ever day, how that compares to Gonzaga, and how Couture, once again, beat the odds and father time. We've gotten a ton of praise for this cover story in the past several days, which I greatly appreciate. We've got completely results and a full review of the PPV, including the dark match where Ranato Babalu lost his mind and refused to release a choke, and the much-anticipated Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Kosheck fight.
