swalsh is on a distinguished road



Default Why does Joe Silva suck ?

Watching last nights fights I couldn't help but think that the match making was suspect. There were alot of one sided fights. You knew who was going to win watching the staredowns and Swick/ Burkman was a snooze fest. Fights when both guys are coming off losses tend to be more cautious in my opinion ,with guys happy to steal rounds with a quick takedown or flurry before the bell. I know Dana offers cash bonuses etc. to entice the guys to go out and try to finnish fights but it seems to me good match making would help keep things exciting. ( I also think ground wars are awesome the dildos that boo at events are dildos, enough said) That being said Thiago Alves would have been a much better choice for Swick. Everyone wants to see Diaz vs Sanchez or Griffin vs Guida stuff. Fights like last night main events suck and you would think Joe Silva would be a little more consistent, there is more talent in the UFC than ever before . What is the problem ?

There have been great fights, but the problem with consistency is availability.
The fighters need a proper break and recooperation after a card fight and then have time to train for a fight.
People want the great fights, but it can only happen if the fighters involved are available. Half the time 1 is fighting in the next card and 1 fought 2 cards ago, making it unlikely they'd fight anytime real soon.

Availability is the main problem when it comes to consistent match making.

Are you fucking serious?

They have 20 events per year. They have a roster of 300 fighters. Not every fight is going to be spectacular. On paper Burkman vs. Swick was a very good fight. But, according to you, Joe Silva should have known that Burkman wasn't going to be able to take Swick down and that Swick was going to dance on the outside with feeble strikes. I am sure that your crystal ball is working, but the one at Zuffa HQ was being repaired.

This thread is retarded.

Homework Assignment:
I want you to put together cards for the next 6 month, so 6 cards 2 UFNs. Make sure not to use anyone thats injured or in contract negotiations. Give guys enough time to recover and have backups in case anyone gets injured training. Also make sure you have guys healthy for future cards.
