Ye I dont get all the hate!? Were the Pearson/Fisher and Gustaffson/Te HUna fights boring? The Noke fight certainly wasnt boring, Lytle/Ebersole was quite entertaining (and an upset so not predictable), Bisping/Rivera couldnt of been anymore entertaining for me...it had profanities, illegal knee, spitting, and a finish...even tho Bisping is perceived to be a decision artist...what more do these people want?! Moreover, witnessed a great upset in Siver vs GSot...if GSot had of submitted Siver everybody would be sayin how boring and predictable tht fight was!Last edited by Vaughany; 02-28-11, 05:53 AM.Comment -
The fight isn't judged on most damage done or most dominant round, it is judged round by round, hence the draw. I would rather see a draw than an underserving fighter win just to have a winner.
As for the fights getting boring I don't agree. Having a background in both MT and BJJ I appreciate the art and enjoy the technical aspects, the footwork, head movement, positioning, transitions, submission defense and such. Not just the KO or submission.Comment -
man penn/fitch was the highlight of the night for me despite the draw and the money loss. Watching Penn scoring TDs on fitch was mind boggling and I don't think anybody--fitch most of all--expected that fight to go down the way it didComment -
the ufc has gone way to mainstream, too commercial... to many people just in it to get a 1 day paydayComment -
yea fitch is an amazing athlete. i wouldn't be surprised if NFL teams are calling him lolComment -
Fitch is getting so much hate for his performance. I thought it was admirable to be down 2-0 against a great fighter like Penn and completely take over and dominant the third round to save his ass from an L. Everyone says he should have been going for the finish, like it is just that easy. If Penn manages to get back up, he probably losses the fight and some of those elbows he was dropping were doing some serious damage.
I thought it was an exciting night of fights.Comment -
If you think UFC is boring, you must think boxing is watching paint dryShut your mouth when you talk to Me!Comment -
what a bunch of whinners. Boring??? you had great standup figths with Pearson/Fisher, Siver/Sotir, Lytle/Ebersole. Some Ko's Bisping and Hunt. Some subs Noke and Gustafsson.
You cry because Fitch/Penn was more of a wrestling and ground and pound fight. Yea because in the old UFC days wich you say were so great there were no wrestlers, like Ortiz, Couture, or Hughes. guys who main evented old UFC PPV'sComment -
I really don't get all the hate either. There was a decent mix of everything with this card. Either people have expectations that are too high or really aren't fans of the sport and don't understand it.
Next card is even better.Comment -
Clay guida is the most boring fighter in mma. I ******* hate watchin him fight. He gets all hyped up before the fight and then............
He hugs his opponent and doesnt do anything for 15 minutes. **** clay guida and **** anyone who thinks hes exciting.Comment -
never watched that steroid shit
real boxing once in a whileComment -
You can't deny that these fights aren't as exciting as they used to be a few years ago. Hardcore mma fans will still enjoy, but how can you guys sit here and honestly say that these shows are good or better than they used to be? Its simply not true. Whatever the reason. Evolving sport or whatever. A ufc event 5 or 6 years ago, was a very big deal. Now not so much.Comment -
The only exciting thing that happen this year in ufc is GSP getting KO'ed big time in the sky dome.
That would be worth seeing.Comment -
there are many good fighters and they are fairly entertaining, but there are only a very small handful of elite fighters that i would actually be willing to pay money to see (silva, GSP) and a few others that are not as elite but very entertaining (brock, vintage iceman), and currently i am also willing to pay for jon jones, the hype machine's got me
the problem really is that they are having a UFC match every month and a lot of the fights just are lame. though they are very good fighters, they are not elite and tend to not be as entertaining, like lil wayne the UFC is watered down now and not what it once was though every now and then, you get a great matchComment -
clay guida is a freaking human backpack. watching him fight diaz he did nothing except grab him from behind and hold on for dear life. wish diego would have knocked his a** out.Comment -
This.
It was still uncommon 5 years ago for a fighter to be a top class wrestler & striker & bjj etc...now you pretty much have to be experienced in all disciplines to get anywhere. It has dramatically changed the way fights are fought. fights are just as interesting, just in a different way.
If I had one criticism it would be that some fighters are deathly afraid of losing and getting cut so they take a more defensive approach and don't go for broke.Comment -
You couldn't be more wrong. It's exactly like saying KENO is rigged in your state lottery. There is no advantage they could possibly gain that would mitigate the damage done if it were exposed. Maybe the judges had a soft spot for Penn but to say it is rigged is ridiculous. If it doesn't make economic sense, it doesn't make sense.Comment
I suppose you guys either don't remember or weren't around for the early days without time limits, now some of those turned into 8-15 minute grind fests.
