UFC FOR DUMMIES: REASON FOR COUTURE V BROCK

Yeah, it really sucks if the guy who wins the fight doesn't fit your narrow minded description of who should win the fight.

If you want to pick winners, go buy yourself an indie wrestling promotion and then you can make all the guys who threaten you lose.

but i thought dana wasnt in it for the money? hes all about making mma a legit sport and not some pro wrestling freakshow, or so i've been told.

"hes all about making mma a legit sport and not some pro wrestling freakshow"

Which can be done at the same time as making money.

jar of flies - IPeople used to cast shame on PRIDE for doing it but the only thing that ever prevented UFC from doing the same shit is they didn't have the money to pull in guys like Lesnar at the time. Now they do.
But that theory works both ways. 



While Pride was doing it, alot of people didn't care and just dismissed it as "that's how it works in Japan".  But now that the UFC is doing something resembling what Pride did (Brock Lesnar is still no where near Dos Caras, Giant Silva etc) all of a sudden it's a farce and a crushing blow to the credibility of the sport.

lol, not in this instance.

nobones - 
NameCaller - No disagreement there. But don't you find this a sad indictment of the state of the sport? God forbid if Cocksword somehow wins...


If he wins, which he probably will, he will have earned it.


It's not Cock Chestnar I give a shit about, though his antics are hella cheezy imo. It's the WWE/UGer that will make the board unbarable.

The NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, etc. are legit sports leagues. Every season they determine who the best team is in each of those sports.

The UFC is no longer out to determine who is the best fighter. They just want to sell bullshit to ignorant rednecks. So get on board the frate trane and just bleed! Whoo!

no, it really doesnt work both ways. because people who were essentially saying what lawdog is attempting to say here, ie pride did it for the money, never claimed pride was some saintly organization which was all about trying to make sport become legit or whatever nonsense previously. unlike the ufc nuthuggers who spent half a decade believing that about the ufc and passionately hating on pride for it.
