UFC 112 Discussion

shut up. hindsight is 20-20. What classifys as a "good" card for you? Who do you want on these great cards?


This drives me nuts when people say this shit. Im assuming you want less ppv's so that you can get these "stacked" cards where we have all the stars fighting at the same time. (which i know your going to say thats not the case but based on your gripe is the only solution)

Heres what would happen if they did what you wanted.... There would be no stage for upcoming talent. No coming out parties like jon jones vs stephon bonnar, or dos santos vs werdum.

With no way for the public to get behind these new rising stars because the ppv slots are reserved for the current stars, the star power will fade because the same sets of guys fighting on these cards will be beating eachother with no influx of newer talent.

Then again I could assume that your so pissed with these last two cards because the fights didnt turn out the way you wanted. Lets look at the results... ufc 111, GSP and fitch win by decisions and in ufc 112 frankie and silva did the same. So im assuming you dont like decisions considering 3 of those were 25 minute ones. OKAY...


First, Those fights that people said sucked were TITLE FIGHTS!!! I dont know if you figured this out but when theres a title fight, you can pretty much bet there is some star power in the fight JUST SAYING. By the way there were two title fights at ufc 112.
So the UFC delivered on quality fighters by the mere inclusion of title holders... and i assume you knew this yet your still bitching and blaming the ufc for a watered down card that has two title fights...

Second, the ufc cant control what happens in the fight. whether theres 20 cards a year or 2, GSP would have still smothered hardy, BJ would have still been out pointed by edgar, and silva would have still tripped on acid.

Third, in the last two ppv's carwin nearly killed mir, munoz had an awesome come from behind victory, phil davis had one of the coolest looking anaconda chokes ever seen, and dos anjos had a masterful ground performance. Whats weird is outside of carwin and mir, none of the other fighters were big name guys

GTFO with that shit
