They are expecting Hendo/Jones to carry the card. I think it will still sell very well because of this fight. I still think most people only buy a PPV because of the headliner.

The UFC doesn't bring in bums off the street!!
There is a good chance that some of the other fighters on the card/undercard are going to be headliners in the future! A true MMA fan likes to follow fighters throughout their career, and see them evolve.

So......You admit you steal the fights via live stream, but complain about this card, because you were thinking of being honest enough to pay for it?

Correct! You don't know!

Not the best card, but the Main event is what sells cards...

Jones the biggest phenom MMA has ever seen. He is the best talent to ever step into the cage...

Hendo is a true legend of MMA... MMA's true ironman. He has fought the biggest names in the game.

Then I guess you have the desire and the time to follow the career of over 200 fighters right?

Once they hit the UFC, Yes!

Wrong. You've assumed that.

Maybe I go to the bar as so many users have suggested in this thread but you don't know because I didn't say...

....and I'm complaining about the card because it's not worthy of the PPV status or Main Event it has. I thought I was pretty clear on that one but reading can be hard.

Never assumed anything...If you look again, there is a question mark on the end. That would make it a question would it not?

True enough, but what you did say about ''how can I justify purchasing'' along with rant leads me to believe you are far too cheap to go to the bar and watch it..You know with the price of gas, wings, and beer...That and you wouldn't have to sneak off to the bathroom when it came your turn to buy a round...You know!

That would bother you why, beacause you don't pay for them anyway?

I think it's a weak card on paper, as most of the cards that Zuffa is pimping these days, but I don't have a problem with Hieron on it. First, he's stepping in for Koscheck's injury, so it's not like he came out of nowhere. You can complain about his win in Legacy, but you could also make an argument that he got boned in the Askren fight and could be Bellator champ right now. He was also a guy that Nick Diaz ducked, and Coker didn't know what to do with because he was a threat to the legitimacy of the SF WW belt since Nick wanted nothing to do with facing him. Jay is legitimate.

Did Diaz ever give a reason for ducking Hieron?

Even this saturday's Strikeforce card is better.

UFC is doing weird things, they put very good cards on Fox, but lately they have been doing very shitty PPVs in paper. 147 was bad, 149 has been probably one of the worst cards ever, 151 looks very bad, 152 is also bad. 153 looks good (Finally!!) 154 so does not look like anything special (Just like 151, good main event, but nothing else).

I really do not understand how anyone pay for that. Even for free I will watch just 1-2 fights of those PPVs. Who pays almost 60 bucks to watch that??
