I have to say, the UFC countdown shows do a damn good job hyping the events. Last nights Countdown to UFC 68, took me from just interested in this event to being hyped for it. I'm surprised that the UFC doesn't try to get Spike to play them more often on the week building up to a PPV.

yeah i agree. it was effective the way they showed couture's fights over the years in that sequence. it's very glamourous and impressive.

Dude I agree, that made all the fights that much more interesting, I wonder why they don't air it more often.

Actually it's on right now on Spike if anyone missed it.

Yeah if there is one thing the UFC knows best, it's how to promote and hype a fight.

I especially like all the commentary from the fighters involved. It kind of gives you an idea as to how the guys are going to approach the fight.

Agreed, I love all these shows and I download all of them that I can and even save those...not only the fights...these shows rule.

I've always loved the coutdown shows. No matter who's fighting they always leave you feeling like every fight is a 50/50 shot.
