Attempting to rape UFC fans via PPV hits a new low.

I may not even watch if free on Fox.
Besides the Co and Main Event the other three fights on the PPV have no business being there. Those three fights belong on one of the Fuel TV events imo.
Jose Aldo is one of my favorite fighters and I see him crushing The Korean Zombie.
100 percent agree. And the co main event could easily be 3rd or 4th on the card. Jose Aldo is -800 at most books. I get that the zombie is a replacement and injuries happen but when that happens you need figure shit out.Quote:

Should have combined this card with the ufc on fox that was just last weekend.Quote:

Who knows though, sometimes just when you think it's the worst possible card out pops 3 amazing fights

Even Rogan is skipping this event. Gonna be Goldie and Brian Stann.
Fights that were supposed to be on the card:
Maia v Koscheck
Phil Harris v somebody
Robert Drysdale's UFC debut (TKO'd by staph)
pettis-aldo, obv

we get to see machida fight like what, three times every two years if we are lucky. hes one of the greatest talents in martial arts. his started fighting professionally a decade ago, and did not lose for over 6 straight years. hes already rumored to be flirting with retirement. and we get him versus the one fighter in the division effectively guaranteed to make this fight suck to pieces.
So effectively you are saying GSP is boring as fuck
Dont worry Pettis/Henderson 2 in a month!Quote:

While he might ground him, I don't see him pounding him much.Quote:

GSP has a pretty flawless program, he takes the sport seriously, and I respect his artistry although I dont consider it terribly exhilarating.Quote:

This was Twitter gold from Saturday night considering Askren's rep for LNP and boring fights.Quote:

If you missed the piece on the russians with Askren and Pettis check it out.
So now Bellator is going to be doing PPVs? Rampage vs. Tito Ortiz coming in November.
:doublefacepalm
pretty much thisQuote:

Tito can just go slap some ex porn stars some more for all I care.

Prelims are on youtube right now. Already one ko in the books. This fucking Oliveira kid has some damned Jon Jones reach. Could be interesting if he does well at lhw.
Thanks for the link.Quote:

Well that was bullshit
It is what it is. Machida has to be more aggressive end of story. You cannot circle while throwing 5 punches and 4 kicks per round while waiting to counter and reasonably expect to win.Quote:

i mean yeah he clearly won the fight by all known measurements but the judges just arent having it any more.
phil davis is everything i hate about this sport.
i am depression.
so aldo broke his foot in the first round. that explains a few things.
