Thanks @Piercerdan, a big fan of blue are you?  On a side note, I just finished Shockwave 2004.  There were some damn good fights on that card.

@piercer I've noticed you spell things like colour and behaviour ... isn't that more of a British thing or is it normal in Canada also?

Either way it adds some nice flavor to the site. Or flavour.

thanks guys

@Dan, i know what you mean, this is probably the site i've been a member of the shortest time and have easily made the most posts at. in fact the closest is Sherdog with 90 odd posts in 2 years, there is another MMA site (you know where i mean) i've been part of for 292 weeks and only ever made 1 post... i'm usually more of a lurker lol

Its because my computer knows im in canada and thats proper spelling in canada :) I dont know much about british spelling personally but we do use very similar english there.  you americans have simplified a lot of the overly and needlessly complicated english language.
