UFC 86 - Rampage beats down Griffin

NoGodForMe said:
Bigger gloves mean more action. Everyone loves a good knockout, but there's many times in the UFC where someone gets caught on the button in the early goings and it's over (Lidell for example). They usually jump back up wanting to continue. In K-1, they get another chance. Purists may argue against giving someone another chance, but it's a bummer when the introductions last longer than the fight just because someone got caught.

Agree about the championship soup in the UFC, it's a mess. They're all great fighters, but they really don't have the soap opera factor like they did a year ago.

I remember you saying the exact same thing about the "soap opera" factor a year ago. I didn't get what you meant then, and I don't get what you mean now.

If you're looking for drama, look no further than the Heavyweight championship belt. Couture has been in a legal battle with the UFC for about a year now trying to get his contract thrown out.

That said, all of the UFC champions are the best of the best, and they all push for exciting matches, and really that's all that should be expected of them. If you're looking for drama, go watch an actual soap opera. :shrug:
 
cant wait for the upcoming affliction event. Probably the most stack card ever and I bet most MMA fans in the US dont watch it.

biggest names, but highly lopsided fights...

Real MMA fans will watch it.

"mma fans" will not, many do not even know there is an event... its got bad advertising, and I don't think they even sold out the arena yet...
 
randy should've just finished his contract with ufc. i mean, he really needs to stay active if he plans on doing anything with fedor. i cant imagine taking off as long as he's going to, then fighting him.

Do you think that they will be able to keep up with the bankroll of the fighters, or is it going to be another WFA (One and done)?

Depends how much money they lose from this card. I know they're planning another event but I dont recall any fighters being named.

They say they're clothinging line and not a MMA org but the UFC isnt fucking around.

:shrug:
i would be pissed if i had layed -280 on rampage

a different post I saw and liked:

I am all for there being serious competition to the UFC but I am not particularly happy with Affliction's card. They have lots of big name fighters but most of the fights are lopsided. Emelianko (both of them), Barnett, Nog, Lindland, Sobral, Belfort, Arlovski, and Pyle are all huge favorites against their opponents. I made this observation based on my own impressions of these fighters but I checked the betting lines and apparently I was spot on.

Fedor Emelianenko vs Tim Sylvia

While the wamma belt looks kind of stupid, letting the best fighters from diff orgs fight each order is a good thing IMO

i agree that letting fighters from different organizations fight each other, but a lot of times they get cut from the card due to injuries from other events. there's no order to the CHAOSsssssssssssssssssssssssss

I hope that Sylvia throws a jab and Fedor locks on a flying armbar, but something tells me that he will only jab.

Dana White's head would explode.

why's that? he'll have to pay more, but if tim were to beat him he'd be arguably a top heavyweight, randy wouldn't need to fight him then and since afflictions fight promotion is going to fold, he'll be back in UFC...

Remember what happened when Diaz beat Gomi? Dana White was gloating that a "UFC reject" beat the number 1 lightweight. He would say something similar and everyone would just:picard:
 
I don't see how anyone can support Couture, he was complaining about a contract that he willingly signed, then said no no no I don't want to fulfill it.

Not to mention Dana White gave him the break of his life.

Also, where's the gif of BJ's girlfriend, what the fuck
