And for the record I do not own the rights as to who can watch MMA.

I just don't know why somebody would watch something if they always complain about what they are watching?

Most of the complaints are just dickin around with ya cause we usual are the only two writing about the fights so i just get u rev ujp. Seriously tho u get entertained if two bums are swinging frantically at one another. There really wasn't that much talent in the prelims and that i blame on Dana. The PPV card Dana should get no blame what so ever. He did what he could.

I don't blame Lombard for that fight, I blame Boetsch. Lombard moved forward, Boetsch moved away the whole fight.Lombard stands there flat footed ready to rock, if you run the fight will suck.

Lombard shouldn't have lost that fight. Joke of a decision. He got punished because of his hype. I guess he is just supposed to knock everyone out. Tim didn't want to engage. Call it smart or call him scare.

Lombard stood there and did fuck all.

He was a complete joke.

One of the worst performances in the Octagon I have ever seen.

Pathetic performance. He was awful.

Pathetic performance. He was awful.

he had two takedowns against a guy who is supposed to be a great wrestler. He also hurt him once. He did enuf to win in that awful fight. Tim did nothing but hit a few kicks. Put ur bet slip down for five minutes and be honest for once.

I never said Boetsch won clearly, both guys sucked, but Timmy had a broken foot so I give him a pass.

Lombard just stood there for 15 minutes and did nothing, it was awful.

The fight was a draw because it sucked so bad.

Here's how to make the UFC exciting again. Get rid of all the stupid boring wrestlers, break up the prolonged clinch game, and break up the grappling that does not progress. Wrestling, clinch, and grappling all have a place in the sport of course, but fans want to see more than that. I love a fight with great bjj and submission attempts, but I fkn hate a dude laying on another the whole fight in full guard with only the occasional hammer fist to keep from being stood up. The UFC needs more bjj black belts and fewer college wrestling champions. That's for sure.

Oh, PS... Immediately cut these fools who have no cardio and are gassing by the end of the first round. Cut their lazy asses for not training enough. Guys with no cardio make even more boring fights than wrestlers (if that is possible).

PSS I can't stand wrestlers. :0008

I agree with the cardio issue 6/5.

Although there are times where a guy takes a fight on short notice, so in that case they get a pass.

A wrestler must have really really really fucked you (or your mom) over. Something happened in your life where a wrestler did something bad to you? Perhaps they stole your girlfriend? Something bad happened to you and wrestlers are to blame.

Six, I think the thing they need to do is not put such a high scoring value on takedowns that don't lead to punishment. If you take someone down but don't punish them then you don't get much for the work. The name of this is Ulitmate FIGHTING. Laying on someone is not fighting.

I know they can't put it in but kicks to the head would stop a lot of the wrestling bs because when they miss their td attempts they would pay for it more.

Or get rid of the silly cage and go back to a ring to stop this crap of running a guy against the cage and holding him there for minutes at a time. I wrote a post on another site about Yamaski and the awful job he does breaking up fighters during that Kongo fight. Then i hear Dana after the fight livid withYamasaki :mj07: Or whatever that shitty refs name is. You couldn't have put a worse refs in that situation.

Hadn't thought of it but I agree about the cage. It allows for some boring times in the cage.

MMA fights in a ring are stupid.......beyond retarded to stop a fight for getting "tied up in the ropes".

MMA should never be fought in a ring....ever.


"I know they can't put it in but kicks to the head would stop a lot of the wrestling bs because when they miss their td attempts they would pay for it more."

You are 100 percent correct.

One of the dumbest rules in all of sports is no head kicks to grounded opponent.

Kicks to the head are barbaric but since u don't fight i guess u are okay with them. Lay wants them back for strategy, u it is a whole different ballgame because like i said you are not the one fighting so who cares who gets a concussion. Pride was ten times better than the UFC and guess what? It was in a ring goofy. You remind me of one of those nitwits that cries if a run down old stadium like Yankee stadium comes down and a new stadium is put in it's place. If they started fighting back in a ring it would take about three cards for people to forget about the silly cage. Only guys like u would even care because u prolly have ufc tattooed on ur ass with a little cage next to it. A ring would expose a lot of fighters especially guys who are point fighters like GSP.

Do u think if you polled those fighters they would alll want kicks (down fighter) to the head to become legal? U really need to start training and get in there and see what u can do instead of being on the outside hoping people almost get killed (Winslow) now rallying for concussion kicks to the head. What u want next Kick guys being allowed to use knives? how about they fight to the death?
