lol

what I found was cringe and funny and sad was when Dana was interviewing with Megan and she's bringing up CM and Jackson and he says something along the lines of "ya I should have had them on the fight pass prelims" and then realizes he put Megan's #1 ranked contender husband on the fight pass prelims

I felt like a lot of media were trying to sell the under cards and what not for those that felt shorted not getting on the ppv behind CM Punk and then Dana throws everyone under the bus. Fucking epic.

I think there was a lot of people, fighters included, that were taken aback, again, that Punk was getting the PPV. I do believe that it was all about money, and even though the dude is 0-2 and I'm supposing out of the UFC...... I guess his fight was a draw. But, like Dana said, Punk is 39-years-old. He ain't about to become this great fighter. He's done. Even if they kept him, at 0-2, he won't draw. Just the way it is. Bellator maybe?

It was a spectacle that ran out of gas before it started, it's done.

The cm punk vs michael jackson fight was such a thriller Dana told em both to beat it.

I didn't see it do they announce him as cm punk?

 

[KryptoBud]

I hope this 226 card stays together.

 

[CannaBruh]

Those pictures are funny, Stipe towers over DC yet the fight card makes DC look like a monster.

I don't recall how Bruce introduced CM, not worth to go back to check either

 

[Andrewk420]

Well I was wrong about my lock of the night. I honestly thought Arlovski should have probably gotten the decision. But it was a good fight and you gotta hand it to AA for finding a way to keep up with these young killers.

It's that cunt Dana destroying the sport.. Keep the fake rasslin turds out of the ufc.. Let the skilled guys who've been bustin ass the fights.. They earned it

 

[Corso312]

My nephew was at the fight, it was local.. He said some Australian guy poured a beer in a shoe.. Had people spit in it.. Then drank the MFer.. Lol.. Nasty

What do you think of Dana giving Hardy a shot on his new contender series show?

 

[KryptoBud]

I think it's the heavy weight version of cm punk. His time will be shorter than punks though.

I don't see people buying ppv to watch greg hardy fight.

 

[Toxic Avenger]

MVP had another "boxing" match and KOed a 1-5 bum. I'm not sure what they proved by having a really long fast dude with awful tequnique KO a guy who('slowasshitand) has no place boxing either. Would love to see him try that drunk master shit with a real opponent. Ridiculous display.

CM Punk wasn't an athlete. If you watch his last fight, you can see how he lacked fluidity, how stiff he moved. Greg Hardy is obviously an athlete. I'd love to see him do the show, make the UFC, and get his butt whipped across the ring in spectacular fashion. It'd be nice, if whilst it was happening, his opponent taunts him, jeering him with words like, "I ain't no woman, ain't gonna be that easy." Greg Hardy's trash. From his conduct on and off the gridiron, I just don't like the guy. That being said, I'm sure he is much more athletic than CM Punk. We'll see though.

He might be more athletic, but thats not why he's getting a ufc contract. The only reason he's there is because he's trash. His notoriety is his biggest asset to him and the ufc. Has nothing to do with his fighting ability.

CM punk's been training for at least 2 years with one of the best coaches in mma, Duke Roufus. He fought a guy that was 0-1 and was dominated by him, but the ufc still put him on the main card of a ppv event. (That sold 150k) There were 5 or 6 former champions or guys that challenged for a belt buried in the prelims or fight pass. I think the ufc is rapidly turning into the wwe. I may be in the minority, but want to see the guys who earned their spot winning fights not who has the most twitter followers. If I wanted to watch people talk bunch of shit with minimal skills I'll watch world star all day for free on youtube.

Yes, Hardy is trash, and yes, that's why he's there, notoriety. UFC is a business, they want butts in the seats and PPV orders being filled. That being said, if Hardy finds success, he'll find a new home, period. I think Hardy has a path to success that is much less narrow than Punk's, strictly because of that athletic talent. I agree that UFC needs to be competitive and put their real fights on the main card. Punk should've been an undercard fight.

 

[a mongo frog]

Yes, Hardy is trash

Nope. He is a monster. Just because you can kick his ass does not mean he is trash. I'm betting he strings off a bunch of wins!!

I think they're moving backwards. Hardy has one fight that lasted 54 seconds and he's already signed to a development deal. It's supposed to be the best there is, but it's turning into a circus. When shit talking, looks (pvz), acting like an asshole, or being a pro athlete nfl, mlb, nhl or nba is more important than experience, record, or rank the sport loses credibility IMO.

Looking back, it's almost rarely been "the best." In many cases the "best" guys came over from other promotions and rarely cut their teeth through the UFC ranks. Rousy being a huge outlier and there are some others but it's not quite a provable revenue stream yet, they've shown it can work but it's hardly a science, they are winging it, they need revenue streams and can't wait around for fighters to become great in other promotions hoping to bring their following and with it their money into the UFC.

HW is the only division you might still get by on athleticism alone. Not saying he'll beat ufc elite but Look at heavyweight and tell me it's as deep as lightweight yer outa yer fuckin mind. We'll always have a faccination with big dudes gorilla smashing other big dudes. The sport is in a constant state of evolution and transgression.

It's when physics really start to matter, gorilla meat hooks swinging make for some nasty big impact.

I read brock lesnar might fight the winner of stipe/dc in december.
