Nice that they gave Vinny a chance to shine. Well, another chance to shine.

Awesome move by the UFC! Having Expo's like this will expose people to the roots of MMA, thus giving everyone a better understanding of a big part of MMA. Grappling is very interesting and can be exciting if you give it a chance

Meh. At least people will see the roots of MMA and say "Wow. MMA has come a long way.I would never pay $50 for this."

This is going to be worth picking up if they put all this on the DVD
