Finally! I been waiting for this shit forever. I don't really understand what this article is saying though. What is this Battle of the Bayou shit, is that what they're calling the fan expo or the fight card?

Ok so some more info on this. Its UFC Fight Night 25 live on spike, and its gonna be at the Convention Center. I was kinda expecting the arena.

[Marshal G.K. Zhukov]

How many people can the convention center hold? I was expecting the arena too.

When they came here, they did the Patriot Center which sold out at around 8k.

I was so excited last night when I saw this that I couldn't hardly sleep last night. I definately have to take a few vacation days for this madness.

Ive never been to anything at the convention center, but it cant possibly be that many. I would guess 8 to 10k, but I really dont know. I thought they could have easily have sold out the arena, this will prob sell out quick gonna have to keep an eye for when sales open
