UFC 78: Validation - Website Online

Perfect name for UFC 78 - Validation.

This must be some sick UFC executive humour or something because all of the fighters on the card need to validate their current and future existence in the UFC for many reasons that I'm too tired to bleed from the fingertips for.

The 78.ufc.com site is done very well... the fight card... not so much.
