I'm an idiot!
Help me out here please, I'm an idiot. I purchased UFC 68 (the first I've purchased in years) on Comcast Digital Cable; but my coverage time doesn't start until 8:30 CST (6:30 PST)? Is that because I'm not guaranteed any of the preliminary bouts? Please help cure my ignorance.

Round 1
The fighters circle but both seem hesitant. Tibau clinches and throws Dent to the mat. Tibau got side-control off the takedown. Tibau working some some elbows to the head of Dent. Dent uses good leg work to get half-guard. Tibau is looking for an arm-triangle but it's not across the throat. He tries the hold for almost 2 mintues but Dent escapes. Referee Herb Dean stands up the fighters. Dent with a low kick. Tibau catches a leg and takes Dent back to the mat.
Round 2
Tibau scores a double-leg takedown. He works some ground and pound but Herb Dean stands them back up. Dent lands a low kick. Dent pieces together some nice punches. Just when it looked as if Dent was finding his range, Tibau scores another double. Tibau now getting some good shots in from the top position.
Round 3
Another takedown for Tibau. The Brazilian punching well from the top but doesn't appear to be looking for a finish. Half way through the round, Herb Dean stands the fight up. Dent tries to mount some offense but slips while throwing a kick. Tibau dives into Dent's guard with a left hand. Tibau mounts and rides out the round in the dominant position. All three judges score the fight 30-27 for Gleison Tibau.
Round 1

Fitch takes Luigi's back with only one hook in. Luigi gets back to half-guard. Luigi gets heels on hips and kicks Fitch off. Luigi lands a right hand.
Round 2
Luigi holds the fence to avoid a takedown but he gets slammed anyways. Luigi goes for a leg submission but Fitch takes his back after a crazy scramble. Fitch now has both hooks secured. Fitch fights for and gets the victory via rear naked choke at 3:05 of the second round.

Thanks,

Sensei Tom, it is always a pleasure to "see" you and read your thoughtful posts. I just hope my bad luck doesn't rub off on you for any predictions we made the same. I am anxious to see the Franklin/MacDonald fight, that will make or break my predicitons, I think. Good luck!
