Franklin, Hammill, Matt Brown, Griffin has some Ohio ties... Jorge Gurgel recently opened a gym here. And that's just the Southern Ohio group.

Of course we'd volunteer to go to a free UFC show but they'll need 8,500 people to do so, I'm just not sure if that's going to happen or not. I would like to see them put some tickets on sale or announce another event at the RBC Center but it's still two months away, so I suspect we'll know more in the next couple weeks.

I have heard upwards of 40k. They will likely offer bussing, but also give out tickets. I'm still hoping that they will sell some tickets to the public. Kris,

I know most of the crowd is going to be bussed from Fort Bragg, but I can't imagine they'd fill the entire arena just with servicemen but we'll see.

I think everything should be set by early next year though. I'm in Erie btw, which is why I've been following PA's progress a little more closely than other states.

It's only about 3 hrs away and will make the trip. Hell if I can go to Cleveland to see Mushroomhead, I will go to Columbus to see the UFC. From what I understand legislation is being passed to make MMA legal here in Pennsylvania. With the opening of the New arena in Pittsburgh there should be no reason the UFC cant come to my hometown.
