Who's at the pre-fight press conf?

...if not the MMA media? Video is up at ufc.tv but I don't have sound at work so can't hear if it is just dead silent. I know in previous press and weigh-ins there was some ethusiasm from the crowd.

" know in previous press and weigh-ins there was some ethusiasm from the crowd."

That was a link for when they announced the fight. That is not the same as the weigh-ins event, which is what you're referring to when you talk about an enthusiastic crowd, etc.

By the way, the press is also allowed at the weigh-ins, so there should be no lack of coverage.

[the sites are boycotting doing any coverage of the event]

Shooting themselves in the foot IMO.

I don't think we know the whole story yet... maybe UFC didn't have a choice. We just don't know.

Cool video. Thanks.

TRUE. one would think they would want to clear this up though.
