Has a fighter ever been catered to more than GSP? Only one that comes to mind is Faber fighting in Sacramento every time it seemed when in the WEC.

Well to be fair to UFC, the Stockton Flea Market was already booked on that date.

My thoughts exactly.

But...when Canada is breaking attendance records, I don't blame them for making sure GSP fights on his home turf. It makes business sense and it's not like he hasn't earned it.

Tito also had his ex-manager create a new weight class so he could beat up hand picked smaller people for the title. Thats pretty catered to.

Canada is going crazy with its ticket sales and holding boxing and MMA events.

If they do fight in December it won't have anything to do with TUF

There isn't time to throw together a roster and film a show with all the editing a production needed

Why does every big fight now have to be attached to TUF?

That show has run it's course.

So we will need subtitles for both coaches this time around?

Nick Diaz speaks clearly enough, he just contradicts himself with every other statement he makes... which is why I love him...
Sonnen-Bisping were going to be the TUF coaches basically until the results of Sonnen's hearing last week.. so Diaz-GSP is really the only current option with taping beginning like in the next month/few weeks or so.. I'm sure with a few weeks of programming, the producers will bait Diaz into saying a few awesome/random soundbites.

Interested in this fight, but not in them being on TUF. It will be just like with kos/gsp, with Diaz talking a little smack and gsp simply ignoring him.

I see GSP beating Diaz easily. He'll stand with him for a minute or two each round, take him down, and GnP him for the remaining 3 minutes..
Rinse, repeat.
