Jun 18, 2012 - There's really nothing quite like a good throwback weekend to make you forget about the Summer of Injuries and PED Frenzy 2012. It's hard to pinpoint why exactly, but there's something special about seeing the likes of Tim Sylvia, Karo Parisyan, Drew Fickett, "Crazy Horse" Bennett and even Bob Sapp back in action all in one night that gets the nostalgia levels humming at just the perfect buzz.
And of course when the 2006 time capsule snaps back to the present, and the realization hits that there are about to be back-to-back UFC events on Friday and Saturday, it's hard to complain about where we're at as a sport right now. So I hope you enjoyed the time off, because chances are you're not getting anymore of it this upcoming weekend.
