Hey everyone. I told you that I was going to be more prepared for UFC 136 this week and here is my first blog. This weekend, not only do you get a great fight card that features two title fights, Houston also get the honour of having the UFC fan expo on the 7th and 8th on October. They usually say that things are bigger in Texas, but it will be the smaller fighters in the spotlight at the Toyota center and they definitely will not disappoint.
