After a day’s worth of flying — had a lengthy layover at Dallas/FTW (FTW!) — I landed at McCarran International Airport in Vegas at about 10 p.m. last evening. Garry from PokerNews met me at the baggage carousel, and when my overstuffed bag finally turned up it felt a little like I’d won at roulette

UFC 98 is Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with light-heavyweight champ Rashad Evans defending his belt against Lyoto “Bruce Leroy” Machida, and Matt Hughes and Matt Serra finally meeting in a co-main event heralded as a grudge match but more akin to “Oh Jeez, Just Get the Damn Fight Over With” bout.
