He was a replacement fighter at that. They had to take who they could get. | but if you remember, he went for shit on TUF to main event vs. Mike Russow... which I think he was a replacement for Jeff Monson if I remember correctly... either way, he may be a bad example, but there are many more examples.

Not every ex-UFC fighter is a has been or washed up fighter. Look where Silva and Rampage were when the UFC picked them up, a couple of ex pride guys that now doing great. I'd say most any organization would be ecstatic to have AA headline an event.

Some people are missing the point. Yet a few haven't. And CJRockstar may have used the wrong wording, such as hasbeen or washed-up to super fighter. Jason Guida is just being used an example. And whilst he may not be the best choice to be used for an example, the point CJ is makng, that it's quite ridiculous that some ex-UFC fighters, not all, are now in some way or another, big shit outside of the UFC. Only because of their former affliations with the UFC, they are even being put on these smaller shows in the main event or co-main event.
Imagine if Jason Guida didn't flop on TUF, do you actually think he would have been called up to replace Roided Ken Shamrock to face an up and comer such as Bobby Lashley? Do you actually think he would have even been considered to fight on said cards? I think not. He wasn't even scheduled to fight on either card that he was a last minute replacement on. The same could be said of other former ex-UFC fighters such as Jesse Taylor, etc etc, but I think that was CJ's point. And thats of course, in my opinion. I could be wrong here, but I'm leaning towards NOT being wrong here.
Good article. Although I suggest that next time, leave out "hasbeen" and "washed-up." Makes it sound quite bias, and like a WWE internet rumor, lol.

For those of you that are whining about my 'whining' as you call it, don't read the post. The reason it is called "You know what really pisses me off?" is because it is about me, and I don't live by your rules and regulations. So if you don't enjoy the post, or have constructive criticism, shut the fuck up and don't read the shit. Comprende?
Thanks again for another fun topic. | its just that your last post was a bitch fest about old ppl not watching mma. see what im saying here is instead of bitching just write about it. that way you are not being stereotypical, and sounding really retarded when you bitch about something you know nothing about. had you performed a survey it might have been excusable. as for reading you bitch fest ill keep reading them and lmao at how stupid you sound and must feel when all you have to do all day is think about what you wanna bitch about on these forums. hows that for constructive? if you wanna bitch become SOMEBODY and then bitch otherwise leave it up to your moms or ol lady.

I don't see any issue with him starting threads like this. I enjoy reading posts like this because I find they bring out other opinions of similar topics and different examples. So if all you are going to do for fun is to read his so called "bitching" threads then maybe you should become someone as well.

HOSS-Bork, you should spend more time brushing up on your MMA history, and less time complementing guys on how young their penises taste.

But Jason Guida wasn't the Main Event - Bobby Lashley was.
And unless you are the UFC and greasing some pockets, you can't get a 1-0 fighter sanctioned to fight a guy with a decent win percentage and 20+ fights.
The only reason they were able to pull off Shamrock was because he has been so inactive for the past 5 years.
I can't wait for You know what really pisses me off? ... round 3
