Not now, as i tell my friend sorry they took it down because these rich dudes who got paid plenty for it dont want us to be able to see it again without getting there paper one more time. Bad move Zuffa!!! The sad part is that they dont remember Metallica making the same really bad call some years back. I know i remember, it was basically the birth to free music on the internet. So ome on Dana use your 10% of the company and convince your fiends that this is a bad idea, i mean come on you have surely made many of your best music cd's from downloaded jams you found on the net. DO WORK!!!

It's interesting that every other organization seems to leave their media available for the fans. All Zuffa needs to do is place a small watermark on their media. It seems like they are turning into the WWE of MMA. Very true. It’s interesting that every other organization seems to leave their media available for the fans.

Hypothetical example: An organisation such as Cage Rage will be able to feature UFC fights on their DVDs and not only can ZUFFA do nothing about it - they won't get paid for it either.
