About a minute or so in, Greg Sirb, executive director for the Pa. Athletic Commission, tells Penn, Florian, Griffin and Silva that, "This is Philly," meaning that Philadelphia sports fans expect a lot - so they'd better bring their A game.

I wanted to let you guys know - if you haven't noticed already - of a few changes to the blog. First, I had a video player installed. It's to the right of this column, near the top of the page. On the player, you'll see videos that Tom Joyce and I generate, whether they are The First Round prediction shows, or interviews from people at Hooters on a UFC night or other videos of local fighters and academies that we make.

The latest video is one of York County wrestler Casey Bush, who is gunning for a LionHeart Fighters scholarship in State College.

The second change is that I had some RSS feeds set up. They're in the skinny column to the right of the big column that this post is in, under "National and International MMA News." So, we've got feeds from some of the top MMA sites like sherdog, mmajunkie, and mixedmartialarts.com, That way, you can catch up on all of the news around the country and abroad, and I can concentrate on the MMA news in York and around Pennsylvania.

So, no big whoop, but I hope you like it.
