  • As anyone at WP:MMA could have told you, the reason for the spike in views for UFC 168 was that Anderson Silva's shin broke when Chris Weidman checked one of Anderson's muay thai leg kicks. The footage became a SEO boon as most people reliably stop to see a disastrous wreck. UFC has had hundreds of events, a few with higher buy rates and ticket sales, but this one had the most gruesome finish since the same fate befell Corey Hill.

    • UFC 166 and UFC 162 also made Top 25 appearances, so while this may have had a particularly gruesome finish, it didn't need it to get on here. Serendipodous 09:01, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • American Hustle is (loosely) centered on Abscam and political corruption, not primarily about art forgery. - Dravecky (talk) 16:47, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
