Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

I'm so happy UFC on Versus 4 is on Sunday night and I get to watch it live! I thought it was a Saturday and I'd miss it because of a game again...Not real sad, but I'll be missing UFC 132 since I'll be out of the country (USA) in Jamaica!!!

Getting close to 1000 comments. i'll predict the 20th of june as the target date. There is plenty of MMA action this weekend. You should get a special award for being the first to have a 1000 post thread count.

@Wolf.. that would be nice if Gregory did that.  I started this thread just hoping to get to know Tapology and a few of you guys/gals.. never imagining it would be this big.  You guys should go through and read some of the older pages.  Very interesting to see some of the old stuff and what we say about ourselves/tapology and everything.

I normally just go to the bar and watch. Its not overly packed, and can always get a table.

So i probably end up spending 20 - 30$ depending on what and how much I drink.

The ppv is $60 for the fights in HD. I have 2-3 friends over so we split it. 3 guys, the fight plus food and drink, usually I spend about $30.

@Soccer.. I'm with you on that one.  My % has fallen drastically over the last 3 weeks, but it's ok.. I have been distracted and well, enough w/ my excuses!

I personally value pick percentage over points right now, but a lot of you guys eat up these regional cards.

Unfortunately, I'm one of those guys that can't resist picking the regional cards.  My percentage has also been gnp'ed because of it.  ;)

one of the feutures i think gregory and jermey are going  to add is to separate UFC(strikeforce) and Bellator fights vs the smaller events. that way you can have two %'s. i think. i'm hitting 70% of UFC- Bellator events but around 51% for the smaller ones. i'm just picking everything b/c it is fun. it also introduces me to fighters who might make the big time and i will know something about them.
