I have found it puzzeling that Andrei has been buried lately. Yeah he did have a shitty boring fight...but he won for fucks sake, that's the whole fucking point. And lets not forget this is the guy who was knocking people out for fun. Dana White is a fucking jackass.

Hes been geting fucked right now. He had a bad fight against Sylvia and another in his last fight but between those two he knocked out his other opponent. Not to mention his last fight was against a guy that is a black belt in BJJ and primarily fights as such, and andrei is a stand up fighter. Fights with that combonation historically have been very boring about 9 times out of 10. Plus the guy ran from andrei and why should andrei go to the ground with a Black belt if he doesnt have to.
Not trying to argue with anyone, just venting really. My wrestling coach trains him in wrestling too and he was telling me that it was rumored that andrei was going to fight vera next, even andrei is out of the loop. I wonder who andrei could possably have now. Especially because the next match up for CroCop is apparently supposed to be Big Nog if he beats Kongo. The only other fighters I could see being worth it for andrei to fight would be either Herring or Mir. But they are not up to the level that andrei needs to be fighting to get a title shot. |

He should have been the opponent for one of the new guys coming in, dana white is just being an asshole because he had a couple of shitty fights. He should be put right in the mix with guys like cro cop (who lets not forget just got knocked the fuck out). Dana white get's pissed when guys have boring fights, he would do well to remember he is the one that books the fights in the first place. A bit of thought into things and boring fights would be less frequent.....imo

your right but i mean not everyone is trying to put on a show. Sometimes guys actually want to win. Now I respect the showmanship, but when there is a lot on the line, its much smarter to play it a bit safer than to try something stupid and get caught. When it comes down to it, it should be about wins.
I think that they should have mini tournaments once a year to make a difinitive contender. They would still have championship matches all year, but they would then have a fighter that deserves it hands down no questions asked at least once a year. |

I agree ..even though he's had boring fights lately, Arlovski should be in the mix for the title. Him vs. Nogueria would be the goods.

My point is dana white seems to be all about the showmanship, but he is the one booking the fights between guys and then bashing them when they fight in the only style that will win them the match. Forgeting that it is all about the win. UFC seems to be going in a strange direction, i don't really get the booking. I agree with the tournament idea. I think if they billed it right it could do good money for them. |

Sorry but nobody wants to see boring fights. Arlovski's last 2 fights were horrible. It's more frustrating because everyone knows he has exciting fights in him.

you do realize that he had a fight between sylvia and werdum fights against marcio cruz where he KOed him in the first round right? so he hasnt had two boring fights in a row... hes had two boring fights total.
And it doesnt matter whether people want to see in terms of boring fights. It happens and theres nothing you can do about it. When you get to the top level of competition its going to happen. It happens in every sport and now that everyone is learning from everyone else, its happening in MMA. Watch the best in boxing. either Mayweather or Delahoya could have won that fight because they were so close to eachother. Watch actual wrestling like the olympics or ncaas. Rulon Gartner beat Corellon, the undefeated Russian who won 3 olympic golds in a row, by the score of 1-0 in 2000. Now was it exciting? Not at all, but their not going to not give him the gold medal because he had a boring match. Theyre not going to say a guy cant advance in a tournament because he didnt have an exciting match. dana thinks that because there is so many dynamics to MMA that every fight should be awsome but thats rediculous. I understand that the fighters like to put on a show but this isnt wwe its an actual sporting event. Boxers and olympic wrestlers like to put on a show as well, but if they have a quality opponent, they need to go for the win. Sure they can say they 'went down in flames' or ' in a fleet of glory' but in the long run people only remember who win. the others fade off maybe with a little cult following but thats it.

Marcio Cruz fight wasn't that exciting.
And his 3rd fight with Tim Sylvia has to be the more boring MMA fight of all time. |

how does a first round knock out not fall under the 'exciting' catagory

It was a terrible knockout. It could almost be classified as a cheap shot. Now mind you it wasn't illegal, but it wasn't very honorable.
If I can recall Andre Arlovski wasn't really dominting that fight anyway. Didn't look all that impressive. |

Totally agree with what Reavant said. NFL is the most popular sport and there is a bunch of boring games. Boxing back in it's haydays had a ton...don't kid yourselfs here. They could probably give Arlovski a Lance Storm type gimmick and hype him up as a heel...then at least you want to watch to see if he loses

Randy looked great in that fight. If he keeps his training up like he is now he is going to retire (again) as champ, I don't know who is going to beat him. Maybe Cro Cop...I don't think so though. Maybe Fedor....

I hoped he could do it, but as I posted in this thread - I didn't think he could, but my god, Randy Couture is my fucking hero.

As for my predictions - wow got one wrong! Shoot me. Until the broken nose, Randy wasn't winning the stand up and his BJJ has always been non existant. And going into the fight, the betting line only started favouring Randy once they had a ton of cash placed on him. Have to edit - the prediction on the show I actually got wrong was I had Grove beating Cote. Post 47 said my main event pick. Last edited by Rob; 08-26-2007 at 08:45 PM. |

You dont know what you're talking about. Randy was on his ass 20 seconds into the fight. He dominated him standing up and then slammed the shit out of Gonzaga. LOL His BJJ has always been non existant. Thats hilarious. I wont even comment. You do the work for me. Also, Couture wasnt favored on the betting line. He was underdog on about every book you can name. Like Bodog for instance had Randy at +105 and Gonzaga at -130. Everyone was pretty much picking Gonzaga. And you know what, i knew you'd go to the nose injury as an excuse. Thats lame. When Rampage Jackson got beat by Shogun despite suffering a broken rib early in the fight, he announced that Shogun was the best fighter he had ever fought. Injuries obviously happen in MMA. Its unfortunate, but Randy was clearly the more aggressive. He clearly was on Gonzaga 20 seconds after the opening bell. He slammed Gonzaga and Gonzaga suffered a nose injury. It happens. Thats MMA. If you cant fight with an injury, you probably shouldnt be in MMA. Couture was taking Gonzagas best kicks and absorbing them. He even caught one. It was clear as day Couture was winning that fight no matter what. |
