Visual appeal

I don't know why, but I'm really into how Web sites look and feel.  In this day and age, Web sites are marketing tools and are often the first impression a consumer has of a particular product. 

So, I'm happy to say that I clicked on the WEC's league Web site today and I noticed they had upgraded it.  Ever since Zuffa purchased the league, I've been waiting for this upgrade because I wasn't a big fan of the old WEC Web site.  Looking at the WEC's new Web site, I had a hunch it was designed by the same company that designed the UFC's Web site.  And I was right.  Looking at the bottom of both league Web site home pages, I found that a company named Getfused designed both.

Now that Zuffa owns PRIDE, I'm waiting for PRIDE's Web site overhaul, which I think is overdue as well.  I imagine if PRIDE gets a new Web site, the new site may share some of the same elements as UFC's site. However, given that PRIDE Is based in Japan, there may be some culturally-specific differences too.

Speaking of visual appeal, I received a press release today stating that Tito Ortiz has been selected as one of the 50 most beautiful Hispanic celebrities by People en Espanol.  According to the press release, the magazine hit newsstands today.  You think Rashad Evans is going to buy a copy of this issue?
