From the New York Times, today, Wednesday, 12.10.08, p. C9:

9 PM (Spike) UFC Fight for the Troops

Ultimate Fighting champions . . . take to the ring . . . to benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. . . .

Viewers will be able to call in donations and bid on items like the chance to work as a cornerman at a UFC event to benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. . . . Proceeds will go toward the design and building of the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, dedicated to the research, diagnosis, and treatment of traumatic brain injury in military personnel and veterans.

Sorry I couldn't post this earlier, but I just saw the humanitarian cause in the paper under "What's on Today." Clicking on the link in the quoted text will let you know more about it.

It sounds like they have a good cause there. I hope the event goes over really well for them.

You can also go to https://www.tapout.com and buy a litited edtion UFC t-shirt and all the proceedes go to the fund I looked last night and I believe the cost was $24.00. Also some of the fighters will be auctioning there used fight gear for the fund.

As for this fight and the MMA Picks, ShoriKid really cleaned house, didn't he?

I really miss seeing these on a regular basis, because I just don't know anyone out there.

He did awsome first time anyone went without having a loss.

It was a good cause but man....that was one of the most brutal fight nights I have ever seen. Poor Mr. Hill's leg looked like Gumby
