    Blah American military bullsh1t. It was rotten on Strikeforce and rotten on the UFC PPVs and now we're getting it on FOX too. I've never lived in America but when you get their media it's almost a feeling of modern-day soviet Russia.

    In fairness, that stuff plays big in the States and that's where the vast majority of their audience is from, so it makes sense even if it is a bit tiresome.

    It all seems so forced and commercial or something. I can't really put my finger on exactly what it is but it just doesn't feel right.

    i think its the fights, the last 2 have been boring as hell, the undercard was a bit better but not by much, remember its not even a UFC event


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I want to see Rashad fight Jones... But I like Davis ... Ngggh

    how freakish is davis' body shape? from the weigh in it looks like he has a 12" waist but yet the wingspan of a 747

    Yeah I always thought he looks a bit weird.

    He kinda looks like a coat hanger

    Someone needs to photoshop his head onto this


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 322 ✭✭Leo Dowling


    I've a weird feeling about both these fights.

    I wanted Bisping to win but I prefer the outcome in that Sonnen fights Silva.

    I want Davis to win but I would much prefer see a Jones vs. Evans fight.

    It's kinda win/win though so hard to complain.

    It's over-produced and dumbed down for the casual viewer. The problem is that that dilutes from a lot of what makes the UFC a stand-out product. The good news is that, if they continue to do well on Fox, they'll gain more trust and freedom to produce it the way they usually do.

    Same as Leo good post


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    gone all pixely :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    Theres still (kinda understandable) fear from FOX with the UFC.
    I seen a tweet earlier saying FOX order the blood cleaned from the cage between the Fuel & FOX broadcasts

    haha imagine if the penn stevenson fight was on fox


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Shazbot


    I'm already sick of the fox format. Ads all the time. You miss the walk ins. Why take an ad before the decisions? It will take 3 hours to show 3 fights for gods sake. I thought Dana said it would be back to normal with showing the prelims during the spare time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    David lost this already. Didnt look comfortable there at all

    i dont know some fighters dont like to make eye contact

    I prefer the FOX production. Looking at spikey-haired gladiator man with cheesey music since I was about 24 and I'm 30 now. I'm loving the fact that it's being produced properly like a sport now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,737 ✭✭✭Hococop


    if davis wins by decision i could see hendo getting the shot

    Not even the no eye contact. His full demeanor seems off somehow even compared to the Nog fight.
    Or im just making stuff up in my head :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    Evans is looking very good here

    watched it again i agree he looked uncomfortable


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    clearly evans round


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 453 ✭✭Denners.ie


    Jesus Davis couldn't throw an apple not too mind a punch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,737 ✭✭✭Hococop


    10 - 9 evans :(


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Evans looks more like he's hunting than Davis... The size of the event might be getting to Davis IMHO...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,981 ✭✭✭✭Hanley


    Davies looked very uncomfortable before the bell. And looked even more uncomfortable under side control.

    Davis doesn't look like he's settled yet whereas Rashad looks very comfortable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,061 ✭✭✭leggo


    Lads think of it this way though: would ye rather see Rashad crushed in a random contender's fight or see his dreams crushed in the 1st round after over a year training & preparing for his dream fight?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 322 ✭✭Leo Dowling


    When's the fight starting?

    wrong he will have another injury before the title fight but will miraculous recover for a title shot when Jones loses the title

    I've never been as bored watching UFC as tonight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 322 ✭✭Leo Dowling


    So it is a five rounder. Thank Christ.

    agreed its not being the best


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    I'd love to see Jones humbled by Rashad. I like Rashad and would love to see him take Jones down a peg or two.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,981 ✭✭✭✭Hanley


    If you saw this on a local card you'd be complaining about a mis-match by now...

    the 3 main fights have been sh@@e, roll on nick diaz, and at the end of the month hendo vs frankie (hendo to win , back it big boys)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 322 ✭✭Leo Dowling


    Go home lads, lets see Hendo take on Jones.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,981 ✭✭✭✭Hanley


    Really enjoyed that little tech takedown battle there. One of the highlights of the live card for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,950 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    If this is Mr Wonderful then i'm fcukin Amazing!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭alanrebelsw


    Davis is crap,looks like a newbie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    rashad looks pissed off with himself, like he knows the fight should be over by now

    Well Davis can kiss goodbye to a title shot even if he does pull out a win.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,981 ✭✭✭✭Hanley


    Hilarious how much fresher the lads look into the 4th than Maia looked in the second...

    Wow the UFC really don't want finishes on the Fox cards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,737 ✭✭✭Hococop


    im sorry but this fight is pretty unimpressive
