Sad truths in 2012

The injuries ruined all the great potential fights.

Diaz and Reem suspended

Hendo didn't fight not one time at all in 2012

Any else? Phone Post

Bisping still hasn't earned his title shot

The one sad truth is that Hendo never fought once in 2012. That is simply a fucking TRAVESTY. The other is fans are becoming more whiny than ever before. Phone Post

no hendo,

The prodigy is done,

Jones is unstoppable at 205 (this one hurts me the most. yep I'm a hater, Lol)

No reem vs JDS, Phone Post

Jimmy Rustler -
Doctor NPD - Edgar should still be LW champ; Weidman could beat Silva but will probably never get the chance; Hendricks can't Sonnen; WMMA is in the UFC now.

STFU.

Edgar cried for a rematch he didnt even deserve. That rematch shouldn't have even happened. And he lost anyway.

Weidman aint got shit on Silva.

VTFD yes my jimmies are rustled.

While I disagree with him as well i don't see that as reason to vote him down Phone Post

Why? It's true. Phone Post

Dominick Cruz, Dan Henderson, BJ, Jose Aldo, GSP, Chris Weidman, Overeem, Little Nog, Chris Leben, Shane Carwin, Mark Hunt, Diego Sanchez and Nick Diaz all lost at least a year out of their careers for various reasons. Condit voluntarily took 9 months off while he was champion.

Sadly 2012 indicates that MMA is on the decline. The largest org which is the biggest representative of MMA worldwide has become very deluded.

Unfortunately the way it's been marketed keeps it from being seen as the premier combat sport. Plus, by no fault of it's own, the country from which it the org operates has very poor comprehension of the sport. The rules and judging criteria are in dire need of adjustment and it really seems as though it will not be addressed anytime this decade.
In addition, to the atrocious marketing strategy and horrible governing bodies, by which it yields, zuffa has made it clear that it will choose money over legitimacy. I have no problem with smaller weight classes and wmma. In most cases they provide the much needed exciting fights. IMO using these divisions for their excitement is merely a bandaid covering a bullet wound. (Bullet wound being the rules and judging which lend themselves to creating boring fights)

The lowest weight classes and wmma are extremely thin divisions. They have no substance and yet again zuffa chooses a quick Buck over legitimacy by headlining a ppv with the weakest division in mma worldwide. They know that the "controversy" and "progressiveness" will make ppl buy. After the initial hype however there is little to no foreseeable followup.

All of this pales in comparison to their granting of a title shot at lhw to chael fucking sonnen. This was the nail in the coffin. This was the ultimate indicator that UFC has reached the point that legitimacy takes a back seat to quick money. It does make business sense. After all business is about making money but as far as mma as a whole is concerned the outlook has become very bleak. This Is the saddest thing of 2012

I predict that within the next 10yrs American mma will be an after thought. Hopefully out of the ashes a new better mma scene will emerge, one with more comprehensive rules and judging...

First fight wasn't that close. Bendo won it. The second however Frankie should have won.

It didn't deserve a rematch, edger had just fought 2 rematches in a row. It was silly to have the 3rd. Phone Post
