As the UFC 100 weekend approaches, many writers and sites have talked about all the great and crazy fights of the past. They’ve gone over the ones that helped the sport, and the ones that hurt it, a lot of great stuff that actually signifies the importance of this weekend.
As the fan expo gets underway on Friday and the event unfolds on Saturday night, fans from all over the world will be romping through the streets of Vegas and many more will be tuned in to the TV watching each fight with unabated attention.
When we consider the state of the sport just ten years ago, it makes this weekend an occasion to truly celebrate. Just take a look at those early events, remember the days when the sport was hanging on by a thread, and then take in the festivities offered up this weekend.
The UFC has done a tremendous job in turning an extreme sport into something that is now on the verge of being wholeheartedly accepted. I’ll be in Vegas by Friday and I can’t wait to take it all in. I can’t wait to see the diversity of the fans and their excitement. I look forward to seeing the fighters and UFC personalities interact with the fans, and I hope that everybody realizes that no matter how the event plays out, it should be seen as a celebration of a new sport.
