Main card:
Forrest Griffin Vs. Rashad Evans
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Vs. Frank Mir
CB Dolloway Vs. Mike Massenzio
Wanderlei Silva Vs. Quinton Jackson
Cheick Kongo Vs. Mustapha Al-Turk
Undercard:
YUSHIN OKAMI VS. DEAN LISTER
^^^^Who the fuck wouldn't want to watch that over a CB Dolloway fight? CB Vs. Mike Massenzio belongs on a fucking fight night.
Since when does a guy coming off consecutive wins of Jason MacDonald and a KO of Evan Tanner (R.I.P.) get delegated to the undercard? How fucking ridiculous.
I hope at the very least we get to see Mike Massenzio triangle joke CB Dolloway until his upper lip explodes.
OmegaPoon - that makes me sick.
CB all day
thats straight up bullshit.
i dont even remember what CB Dolloway looks like.
I thought that was jacked up too...A TUFF'er and no namer gets the ppv time then Okami n Lister
This makes no sense at all. With Okami theoretically getting the next title shot, don't they need to get him in front of the audience?
" He won't get a title shot no matter what."
He was already booked for his title shot until he injured his hand.
Joe Silva is a fucking idiot thats why. He punishes fighters if they get injured and wants everyone to fight on short notice.
And why would Kongo be over him as well?
"This makes no sense at all. With Okami theoretically getting the next title shot, don't they need to get him in front of the audience?"
You'd think.
"If Okami and Lister were to put on a snoozer for three rounds you guys will be complaining that they should have shown it, that they should have known better."
Not me personally because to me the important matchups take priority over 2 no namers who potentially might brawl. And its more the fighters fault if they snooze. As mentioned above also, dont they want to start promoting their next title challenger?
Or are they just gonna run Okami out of his contract on the undercards?
They already got rid of Lindland to protect Franklin...
Although with 3 marquee matchups, UFC is dong like Pride here. ;p
Birdman3015 - I thought that was jacked up too...A TUFF'er and no namer gets the ppv time then Okami n Lister
More people know who CB is compared to Okami and lister put together. TUF=exposure=fans
Maybe people know lister from season he coached...but spike and tuf is the reason.
just because people know who CB is doesnt mean they are fans of his.
dumb
junon - just because people know who CB is doesnt mean they are fans of his.
your right- but they are more likely to watch if they recognize a face or name
I'd rather see Hamill Vs. Reese as well, instead of Dolloway. But, didn't Dana really like CB and picked him to win TUF 7?
Bisbing=FrateTrain -junon - just because people know who CB is doesnt mean they are fans of his.
your right- but they are more likely to watch if they recognize a face or name
Who the fuck isn't gonna watch a card with those 3 main fights anyway?
Hey CB is 1-1 in the UFC,by their standards hes ready for a title shot.
Zeerus - Joe Silva is a fucking idiot thats why. He punishes fighters if they get injured and wants everyone to fight on short notice.
You obviously don't know Joe Silva. Joe knows more about fights and fighters than you could ever hope to.
I agree that the CB fight should be on the undercard but Joe sets up the fights, he is the matchmaker, he doesn't decide what fights are undercard or which are shown on PPV.
While the CB/Massenzio fight should be on the undercard, I am definitely looking foward to it as they are two of the best upcoming middleweights around. The winner of this match will get a huge boost up the rankings for sure. Additionally, I believe there is some rivalry between them as CB beat Massenzio in a JUCO wrestling match.
So CB who didn't even fucking win TUF is getting pushed over what is likely a number one contender match for 185? Hell I'd rather see Okami/Lister over Kongo/Al-Turk easily.
Sucks to see such a bad decision mar an otherwise superb UFC card.
