    another thing that rubbed me the wrong way, it was almost like they were going the WWF route...between Sonnen and his act on the mic talking in third person and Phil Davis being called Mr Wonderful every 2 seconds...

    that was pretty bad too.

    yeah true they haven't been great. But what I mean is you cant judge MMA/UFC on two events or two fights! I'm sure I could watch two NFL matches and each one be pretty average then say the NFL is shite and Im never watching tht sport again blah blah, yet the next match could then be one of the most entertaining games ever!

    I agree, the whole Sonnen thing is ridiculous and far too fabricated now.

    You realize that one of Sonnen's best buds is C M Punk the WWE Champion right? You've got to believe Dana's not happy with that schtick because he's trying to distance himself from the WWE/scripted crap.

    They definitely need better matchmaking for these cards.

    The biggest blunder I have seen so far is why ellenberger/sanchez is not on a FOX card. That is the kind of matchup you build a FOX card around, not a fuel tv. There really is no "star power" for the random viewer yet they need to show them great fights.

    I can say the same for guys that love wrestling.. Go watch a wrestling match, this is MMA, not wrestling..

    Nobody wants to see a double leg takedown and a guy laying on top of a opponent, praying that the ref doesn't stand you up...

    And Lets be real, these generic( % 90 now) fighters wouldn't last one minute with real MMA rules, vale tudo/pride.

    But that's exactly why I love MMA. Sometimes the wrestlers get the takedown and sometimes they get the knocked the fukk out.

    I personally like when wrestlers can transition like Dan Henderson and have both stand up and a good ground game.

    Style matchups are what intreage us.

    UFC usually has some goods fights per event. Last night on fox though, fights were just long boring and not much action.

    Nah I'll keep watching mma wrestling or striking I just love matchups. I do just watch pure wrestling high school and college. I think you underestimate todays ”
    Generic” fighters I remember wvc with frederico lapenenda and sergio barterelli with the cargo nets my first bjj instructor rick lucero fought chuck kim in brazil my sambo coach richard heard fought pedro rizzo in one of those shows too brutal but it cuts down on your career and guys were getting injured left and right be like going back to playing football with leather helmets theres no point. Most of the time people that complain or worse boo is because they dont understand whats going on the ground. As for your point about watching a wrestling match thats weak because wrestling match has no strikes.... You want to see striking go watch full contact muay thai kickboxing events they are all over so cal

    Proof about what? PED's?



    Id still rather watch UFC, then watch that BS Mayweather crap, where his opponents are cutting rap albums with his friends the next day ... or watch Pac man Marquez tap each other for 200 rounds

    Strange that the card was so grappler-heavy. Seems like Fox is in it for the long haul, and with TUF on FX and some better fights they should be fine.

    I am glad I didn't waste my night watching all of the show last night. I seen where it was going to come on and I thought about watching it, but opted to watch the Rockets Knicks game. I tuned into the main event fight in the last round and a hlaf and felt dumb for watching it. I had seen MMA on tv before, but shesh, I felt like I was watching a boxing match with no big gloves. But on a much brighter note, got me some sexin last night , but it was with the wife

    ufc doesn't have matchups anymore, same bullshit generic fighter, alright standup, with alright wrestling. 75% of fighters now go for a decision win, maybe try 1 sub and give up...

    Anybody that loves this generic shit, never watched the golden era of MMA, pride..

    Fox should of jumped on it 4-5 years ago just right before the MMA mainstream boom. Would of made enough loot from TUF to call it quits by now. Now the sport is really mellowing out. I only watch if their is a good matchup or fighters i like.

    You know its starting to get ridiculous when you see dumb kids at the bars or out-on-the-town calling themselves MMA fighters thinking they are some Navy Seals.

    The Pride days were truly the golden era. I understand utilizing a smart game plan but it is dissapointing when fighters just try to steal rounds and don't try to inflict any damage. Wish there could be some changes to the judging criteria that would reward damage.

    Wrong and wrong you must be trollin saying nonsense like the above just stop and talk about things you know like weight lifting because its clear you dont understand the evolution of mma or mma game planning. I was in bjj classes before pride was even around before you even knew what mma was.
