    i said it just a few minutes ago...i dont think a fight like that helps garner the casual fan. i think they have more fights on fox in the future, but i dont think that helped them there

    Fox and the UFC's worst nightmare -- a quick KO and the (former champion) Dos Santos looked terrible.

    There aren't really a lot of elite fighters in MMA. I can really only think of 2.

    Point? Boxing was the **** back then and Tyson was a freak of nature not seen since Ali, and someone we all wanted to watch knock people out like an animal. Dana is trying to get UFC more exposure and a 1 fight card with a knockout in 30 seconds isn't going to attract the casual fight fan. You think after that they'll be wanting to pony up $55.00 for a PPV fight thinking it would just be a waste to watch like this one?

    dana talking, you can tell he's upset. screaming why didnt cain get close the distance, try to get the ground game going, try to make the fight last longer where dos santos has been known to be gassed. haha

    Huh..? My point is they should have had that fight on FOX instead of an episode of Cops. Most people who aren't big fans and were curious about the sport are going to be really disappointed with this fight.

    Velasquez looked weird out there -- I guess the long layoff affected him more than he wanted to admit.

    Overeem. Brock can't take a strike just like Cain apparently.

    Cain looked overweight and boy he has a short wing span.
