Did Kimbo vs Tank set the pace???? NO! Oh maybe is was Baroni vs Shamrock, oh maybe Fedor vs Long Duck Dong (thanks Dana)... WONG AGAIN. The last few years has been incredible and can be explained with 3 letters... UFC!!!
Dana and the rest of the staff at the UFC have been signing fighters, and putting together some kick ass events (minus the Evans/Bisping headliner), and there are some really exciting fights/events yet to come, not to mention a stacked fight night for freakin FREE.
So to all of you bitching about how you wish AA, Tito, KOS, Swick, Couture (at least that he doesn't return) etc.. all leave the UFC.... STFU!!!! The UFC can't and wont be able to sign every big name in the game, but they most certainly have the vast majority of them. I also don't want to hear the BS about how it will be good for the sport, and force the UFC to work with other promotions, that simply ain't gonna happen, and would be stupid for the UFC to do it, since it is a win/win situation for the smaller promotions, and the UFC has NOTHING to gain from it. The UFC doesn't have to prove they have the best fighters in the world, because everyone knows they do, including Shaw, Cuban, Meyrowitz, Cox, etc... who want that UFC banner hanging in the ring while they televise, and or through a fighter in the ring.
Since when is sacrificing your own company to make another better a good business decisions?
OK my rant is done! |
I dont hate the UFC. I love watching UFC events.
BUT
Dana White is a dick and says some stupid shit no one here can deny. He regularly insults fighters and thats pretty well known.
UFC's fightcards, although better now than before, are not comparable to the standard set by Pride. Sure Pride went out of business, but their fightcards were amazing matching up great fighters against great fighters on regular basis. UFC does put out great cards but not on consistent basis.
Lastly, too much marketing over substance and too much BS bias against fighters behind the scenes.
Other than that, UFc is fine and I order UFC events on almost regular basis.
