What do u guys think the new fans brought in from TUF though of UFC:53. Now lets not all be snobby and act like we don't need them. Anyway, I think it was a pretty damn good UFC. Had lots of ground fighting but not much stalling. Only thing that could have been better was if Randy/Lidell had lasted longer... but I still think it went very well overall. Definately not a repeat of UFC 33. I think once again the planets are lined up for Zuffa and the UFC.. great week for North American MMA!!!
Why do u think they thought it sucked xshanex??? Lindland/Lutter was pretty boring, but other than that it was good. The TUF ratings stayed up even after the horrible Koscheck/Leben fight... which was MUCH more boring than any fights last night, so I don't see why they would think it sucked.
I thought it was really good and it restored my faith in the UFC and Zuffa's direction for it (I have be disenchanted of late because of some poor shows and match ups!) I would still like to see them move towards a Shooto style hierarchy and ranking.
