Thursday, June 8 and Friday, June 9 — Both days we will do live shows from the Five Seasons Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Thursday will feature a live webcast of the UFC XXVI press conference, and both days will have plenty of on-the-spot interviews with fighters and insiders from the world of mixed martial arts.
