You don't. Just go to the bar like Ice said.

Buy drinks and hot wings instead.

These fights scream out entertainment for me.


Go to a bar and buy 50 dollars of beer and food instead if you don't want to pay for the card. Or be cheap and have a single beer.

Some cards with little expectations can turn out to be the best but I cannot see how this card is PPV worthy outside the Main Event.

Jay Hieron just got a bs win in Legacy Fighting and now he is a co-main event on a PPV??

I'll still watch the fights of course but to me many cards have been watered down for a while now and this is a pretty bad one imo.

I expect many more cards to look this unflattering as long as the UFC continues to have events nearly every other week, and also continues to add weight classes.

On a side note, why is Hallman on the main card? Still living off of his 11 year old victory over Matt Hughes and the excitment of seeing what shorts he might wear next? I dont get it.

Unimpressive, I agree, especially about the co-main...I do think the Siver and Castillo/Johnson fights will be pretty cool though, and I'm sure some others will deliver as far as exciting fights...but as far as talent goes, it could be a little better. Still, its a good chance for a lot of these young guys to impress. We will see how it goes down...

[YukonJordan]

Have to agree with the consensus, just go to a bar. Rarely do they cover anymore for UFC events.

I think it's gonna be a fun card to watch better than the last 2 but it won't be better than majority of the free shows this year which as a whole has been much more entertaining than the ppvs.

[RearNakedStroke]

I'll pay to see Jones vs Hendo. I would have loved to see that in Denver. I used to buy every ppv for like 5 or 6 years. Seems like most of them aren't worth buying anymore. I don't see why they stack the Fox cards with names the casual fans don't know or give a shit about but the ppvs are like glorified fight night cards now. Their ratings still aren't great. I would think they would put on one awesome fight on Fox and stack the rest of the card with bs. Apparently its the other way around.

Get a few peeps together and chip in around 6-7 dollhairs apiece (varies depending on if you get HD or not) . That is how I justify getting ANY mma ppv.

LOL @ anyone who complains about a card before it happens...Could be a barn burner..Who knows?
Or people who cry because they purchased a fight they thought would be ''the card of the year'', and it turned out ho-hum...

One thing I do hate, is when I don't get the fight, and it does have great fights...Even though I can see it later, it just isn't the same as seeing it live....

That and the UFC has been making up for it in free cards...

The fact is that a PPV should have a certain expected quality to it. I suppose they could drag in any bum off the street, throw him on a PPV, and that would be fine with you.... no complaining right?

I watch every UFC event and many other MMA events usually all for free. I was going to choose to pay for this event anyway because I was particularly excited for this Main Event.

I can appreciate all the events going on but maybe the UFC is spreading themselves to thin I don't know.
