i agree with all of your points except for these..where woudl you have wanted the refs to step in when they didn't?

4.Refs did not press the action in alot of matches

6. Hiring the most boring ring announcer. Not to mention that he introduced every fighter twice.

Lol. Please, you're being foolish by saying that the Ricco we saw last night is the same Ricco that was the champ. When I was competing on a national level in wrestling I was listed in USA wrestling magazine as 10th in the nation. I wasn't a paid professional, yet I stayed in shape and at the top of my game. It was a responsibility you accept when you decide to compete, let alone compete on a pay er view in front of thousands of people. So give me a frigin break with your defense of Ricco. Look at him. You apparently have absolutely no perspective on what your responsibilty to yourself and those around you when your competing. Reedonkulous.

Unless of course you are Ricco which wouldn't suprise me , because who else would defend him in his present condition, and in that case...you should be ashamed of yourself.

What are u guys expecting it is a start up group with their third show. Give me a break...Just check out some of the old UFC fights. What do you all need glitter and lights...Its not proWrestling.

I didn't get a chance to see the fights but I heard that rampage/lindland was a really good fight. Olympic Silver medalist/former UFC middleweight champ vs. Experienced PRIDE fighter who beat the sh*t out of Chuck Liddell. Pretty decent main event. Probably a better fight than Franklin vs. Nate "knocked out" Quarry, or the joke of the Co-main event called Ortiz Shamrock II.

As far as Kimo goes, the only thing he has been good at is looking pretty in the cage, because between him getting KO'ed by an over the hill Ken Shamrock, getting his arm almost ripped off by 175lb Royce Gracie, and all of his other UFC losses, I have a hard time seeing that guy in an attractive main-event fight.

not glitter and lights but comprable production quality to the organization you're trying to compete with. the quality now, not 10 years ago. Otherwise you're not competing

But I do think i'm being too negative on them actually. Anytime there's more MMA it's a good thing. And in all reality I will most likely get the next WFA ppv. I love MMA in general I just feel the quality of the event should had been as good as the teaser for it I saw. That's what I expected. That's all.

I thought the rampage and Lindland fight was fantastic. The last two fights really helped the show out a ton.

I thought Rampage and Lindland was a classic battle, with BOTH guys showing tons of heart. The fight could have went either way, and a rematch is a sure thing.

I hope Bas finds his competitive juices are still going after the fight and comes back for one or two more dances before he rides off into the sunset. But either way I was just glad to get a glimpse again.

Lindland was never the UFC Middleweight champion he should have been but never was.
