Thank you!!! You see at least some of us understand. Yeah/yeah/yeah, I get the psychology and the strategy of the game. I get that. But people are paying money to be entertained. This is sports to entertain the masses. People want blood. People want a show. People want carnage!!! Junior Dos Santos would be a very very interesting match for Brock. Way better than Mark Hunt for sure.

I first heard of this stuff in about 96 from my friend in California who swore by it. I didn't think much more of it until I saw Monica's boyfriend join it on the show friends. Then it just seemed to take off in the last few years. Should have seen it coming. good sell. It feels like it's at a peak, almost overtaking hockey and soccer, and possibly even baseball.
It's nearly the same level as the NFL and NBA but those are team sports leagues/organizations. The UFC is currently the #1 best individual sport over the PGA, NASCAR, F-1, Tennis, etc.
Sounds like you should just go watch Boxing or some Glory Kickboxing if that's what you want and you have an issue with the wrestling aspect of MMA.
jesus man, mma fans get so damn sensitive when you tell them you thought something was boring. "go watch something else then!!!!!" LOL what kind of logic is that? if somebody doesn't like hack-a-shaq or slow paced basketball or ISO plays, should they go find a new sport? you can like something and still criticize it. its okay. we get its about the strategy blah blah blah but if somebody thinks thats boring to them, then its boring.
Not the most shocking thing in the world but Lesnar just got popped for a banned substance http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/7/1...-by-usada-for-potential-anti-doping-violation
Didn't they waive the normal testing for brock, and he still got caught. Doesn't he get suspended from wwe too?
Bellator. Might be the nastiest knee I've ever seen.
