Nick Solomon: Doug, the last time with the CBS show it kind of ran over and some people that did not set their DDR or TiVo properly were not able to watch the show (in its entirety). What preparation have you or CBS taken to ensure that something like that won't happen with this

Doug DeLuca: I'll tell you a quick, funny story and then I'll give you the real answer. Right after the fight I was talking to my friend, Adam Carolla, the radio talk show host. Adam's an avid sports fan and Adam watched the fights and he felt very vindicated that he was able to TiVo the whole thing, and the lesson he imparted to me was that he didn’t understand why avid sports fans don't realize that sporting events can go over, So when you TiVo a sporting event, TiVo the next program and maybe even the second program after that because then you're going to be sure to get the whole program. So I thought those were very wise words for sport fans watching live events.

But on a serious note, look we know we went over and we were I think prepared to go a little bit over, but it did go excessively over and it's not going to happen again. I mean, the one thing that I think we -- CBS and the SHOWTIME production team and ProElite -- did when we walked away from that is that we listened to what all the fans were saying, the hardcore and the casual and the new fan. And the main complaint I believe was the pacing.

I mean, everyone thought it could have moved much quicker, everyone wanted to get down to the business and get down to the fights much quicker, and that's something that we're just very, very cognizant of going into this one. So we put together again a world-class card, two title fights on the CBS show, one title fight on SHOWTIME show, and we're just very, very aware of the pacing and you're going to see a lot more action and a lot quicker..

Operator: Thank you. We'll go next to Dann Stupp with MMAjunkie.com.

Dann Stupp: Doug, how are ticket sales and do you expect this event to be a sellout?

Doug DeLuca: Yes, for sure. I mean, look, we went to Stockton for a number of important reasons, but one important reason is, Stockton's a great MMA town and turns out great fighters from that area and from close by. On this card alone, you have three somewhat local favorites. You have Nick Diaz, who is almost legendary status in Stockton, and he's from Stockton and he trains in Stockton; you have Jake Shields, of San Francisco, who's also one of the best in the world in his weight class and trains with Jake in Stockton at times; and you have Scott Smith, who's right around the corner from Elk Grove, near Sacramento, and another world-class fighter fighting in the main event of the evening for a belt. So you have three very, very strong local draws, .
