    Boetsch vs Lombard absolutely sucked to quote The Rock. Kongo vs Jordon was about as entertaining as watching two old men waltz.
    Hope the Main Event will be better than those two shams.
    Nice to see Bret in the crowd, pity Natalia or Kidd will pay for that.

    CM Punk ‏@CMPunk

    Ok keyboard kids. Tell me what I do is fake, but at least I have heart. The irony is tangible. Who's phony now??

    This is a BIG blow to UFC, and to the guy they were trying to make the face of the company. Dont forget, UFC sponsors Jon jones exclusively.

    Don't know why he'd refuse to fight Chael he'd kill him and nearly everything is in his advantage. He is already in training-chael isn't, he is at his weight-chael is moving up and oul dana is blaming 'sport killer' greg jackson. Pity Hendo couldn't have fought him it feels like it was now or never and I badly wanted to see him land a H-bomb on Jones.

    Yeah just got up to watch it now. Got Sky in during the week too so handy not having to look for streams!

    Really hoping Belfort does it, doubtful he will though.

    Only watched the main event, will catch the rest later. Jones is a beast, can't see him being beat for quite a while now.

    The Ufc cards this year have been so predictable and pure boring. Belfort never had a chance vs Jones particularly when Belfort threw so few punches. The 125lb fight went to a decision WOW what a shock.

    Batista has an MMA fight with a Micky Mouse promotion tonight. Too much to recap but they are spending out their ass to put it on real Pay Per View, sold **** all tickets and Batista's original opponent got arrested. So here is the guy he is fighting at short notice:

    Imagine if Batista loses? :eek:

    Appearances can be deceiving however he has had a fair few wins: http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Vince-Lucero-4009

    He is going to have to improve a lot if he plans on doing it at a higher level. He spent the first half of the fight getting his head punched in, a better fighter would have beaten him as a result.

    UFC President Dana White told The Times on Tuesday that Jones and Sonnen have been assigned as opposing coaches in the third installment of "The Ultimate Fighter" on FX, creating some extensive pre-fight hype for their April 27 pay-per-view title match at a site to be determined.

    "The Ultimate Fighter" with Jones and Sonnen is set to begin shooting on Oct. 29 in Las Vegas, with a debut in early January as young middleweights participate in a tournament that leads up to an April "TUF" finale at the Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, where the winner will receive a multi-fight UFC contract.

    Lots of UFC is turning into WWE outrage by fans online. I think my enlightened brothers of the Pro Wrestling realise UFC at it's most sucessful has always been sports entertainment.

    I think the Friday night slot isn't doing it any favours. I really enjoyed the last season with the whole Michael Chiesa story.

    The latest season has been pretty poor, the UK vs Aus one is quality so far though.

    Sonnen vs Jones will finish even quicker than Bonnar vs Silva, a joke of a fight imo. Who is Chael going to do the "Even I know I got no chance" ads with?

    no, ufcs rise in popularity happened when the ultimate fighter aired on spike in 2005, spikes strategy of airing tuf after raw was brilliant and it meant the show captured alot of the wwe fans at the time

    the tv shows have been doing very poor ratings this year, three years ago october 2009 one episode of ultimate fighter did 5.3 million viewers, last friday the show did 640,000, smackdown amongst other things is killing them

    Well, I for one have been more than aware of UFC since well before 2005. 1997 to be precise, when Ken Shamrock and later Dan Severn made the crossover. I looked back over to where they came from. I meant in America, or worldwide, not in Ireland. Just a theory.

    Very good fight, was a little worried for GSP there for a bit but it all worked out well in the end. The way they kept showing Silva on screen during the fight, I was expecting some epic promo to build a fight at the end.

    I don't find it that entertaining to watch at all, to be honest. I watch it when I have some sort of vested interest, like when Batista was fighting. But otherwise it find it to be barbaric.

    Too much of it now. An entire show was cancelled recently when the main event was taken away. A few years ago they could have easily replaced it with another fight. They have too many shows, PPV's etc for that to happen nowadays. Used to have a few good looking fights per card, now it's often a one fight card. Outside of the main event, the card doesnt really matter.

    Last night's show had a good card(for a change but just never got going in the entertainment stakes, fu<king calf punching).
    But yeah there are too many cards e.g. 2 TUF finales on next weekend which is just stupid.
    The next numbered card has Dos Santos vs Velasquez on the 29th and fecking nothing else on it.

    UFC 92 I had five lads over. Tonight none. Just got Kid Rock blasted at me. Along with celebrities such as MC Hammer, the redhead from That 70's Show and Jaime Presiely.

    Its a 1 fight card and that fight will go 2 rounds max. Miller vs Lauzon would of nearly been a prelim 5 years ago, its a fight where the winner will go nowhere in the lightweight title reckoning. Much better watching than the horrid Okami or Leben fights.

    Main event was a pure damp squib. The fight changed on 1 punch in the 1st Round and Velasquez should of put him out of there despite Cigano showing Fabio Maldonado level heart.

    Dos Santos was standing on instinct alone in the last 4 rounds he was fùcked(thats how to spell it btw). Cain should of been able to finish him imo.
