Why UFC Gets Up Vince's Nose

Not literally off course, not even Vince's nose is that big. However here are the list of the top 10 PPV's buy rates in Noth America this year...I'm not sure Vince likes this list.

   Now, I have to stick up for The Silent Knight here a bit. Granted, when he first started out, he wrote some bad things, but lately his reports are going up in quality. From time to time he surprises me with a good report, which I wouldn't expect from his first impression. The Silent Knight has shown progress ever since he came back from hiatus (forgive the wrestling slang), I think there are much worse reporters out there at this moment.
