UFC 112 Discussion

shut up. hindsight is 20-20.

then i must be clairvoyant, because IMO Silva v. Maia was pretty ill-concieved from the begining.

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)

you KNOW absolutely nothing. stacked cards is exactly what i want. especially at $55 a pop. and, btw, two years ago, they were putting on better cards.

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.

good news and bad news. the good news is that i am wrong and you are absolutely correct, as always. the bad news is that you are only correct if you live in some fantasy world where Spike TV does not exist, and there is no such thing as UFC Fight Night, or UFC on VS.

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...

you make a lot of assumptions.

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

okay...how to respond to all of this? okay, check this out, dude: i could care less about how many title fights are on a card. i'm talking about stacking the undercards more. i rarely buy a PPV just for the main event. Silva v. Maia was not a fight i wanted to see because there wasnt much question about the outcome. i didnt really give Edgar much of a shot against Penn either, though. the GSP/Hardy fight went down pretty much exactly how i expected it to go down (so, i didnt pay money for either of the last two PPVs.) i figure that's par for the course when you have dominant champions like Penn, GSP, and Silva, who seem to outclass everyone else in their division. THEREFORE, THEY NEED TO STACK THE UNDERCARDS MORE.

oh, and it drives you crazy when people say this type of shit? ya know, wishing for fewer, higher quality PPVs isnt being a dick. i'm just standing up for my rights as a consumer...and as a fan. but you wanna come off like anyone who complains just doesnt know what the fuck they're talking about, and the UFC has never put on a shit PPV. YOU need to GTFO with THAT shit.
