The UFC has the ability to bring top ranked fighters into every event, but they choose NOT to. They are more interested in having, maybe, two or three if we’re lucky, top ranked fighters.
Before Zuffa bought the UFC, they had tournaments that gave the audience a night full of good fights. Yea, I know the athletic commissions changed that, but the point is, Zuffa has the bucks to have a much better card at each event. I’ve been watching the UFC since Nov ’93. I still enjoy watching it. The evolution of the sport has been nothing less than spectacular. The UFC puts on the show for US the fan. Why can’t we tell them what we want?

When is this Pride vs. UFC stuff going to stop. I for one have been sick to death of it. They both have there pluses and minuses. They are diffrent companys and they do things diffrent. And the Diffrences will not ever be resolved, and thats okay. Thats like arguing that blonds are better than brunettes. The card is good and it looks like there will be some intresting fights. Happy to see Lil' Evil fight again.

I wouldn't say unknown fighters make bad fights because that is not true and often times they prove it. But I've seen enough bad fights during the UFC events that in between the first fight and the last two doesnt excite me anymore.
I am not saying I wouldnt watch UFC because I will for sure, but UFC should definitely do something to make the events better. They can create better matchups and bring in better fighters but they just decide not to.
Its like having musicians making one good song for their album and adding 14 "filler" songs that no one would care about. The customers or its fans can get frstrated and feel disrespected. Not all but some of them will.
UFC is hot right now in US but they can't let their guards down. They need to bring in better fighters and have a better fightcard than what they're offering. That's just a one man's opinion  | I do agree, I think they need to bring in bigger fighters....but not every fight on the card can be big name guys
this PPV they have Hughes Penn as the main event...the co-main event is louisea Vs swick..how can you not want to see this fight...a former #1 contender VS a rising star
there are your two big fights and then they wil throw 3 more decent or good figths at you...they can't have 5 main event fights on one card...becasue if that were the case then I don't think could have one PPV every month..
