Thoughts on watching UFC 119

Scrib says this, jabronis!

MMA is alright, but you never know when people are going to dance around for 3 rounds and then it's left up to a judge.  Let them go until it's over.  I don't want 3 humans telling me who won.  At least poll the crowd.  Wouldn't you want the guy the crowd wants to see?  The first two matches had wrong decisions.  When the crowd boos the decision you screwed up.  It's not a dance contest...it's a fight and I thought it had to be entertaining or Dana White won't book you?  I thought I was told there were guys with good records who don't get booked because they are boring?  Make up your minds UFC.  I tried.  It was alright...for 5 bucks, it was fine for what it was.  I just don't find it any more special than what I watch on Spike TV.  There also needs to be a title match per ppv.  I don't care if there are 12 titles.  At least one should be defended.  Most of the matches are just random.  They should have matches for #1 contership at least.  Or have a tournament.  It's pretty much the same match every time with different competitors.  Maybe I am polluted with wrestling, but I think there should be some character to a show.  It's a competition, yes, but it's also a show.  People don't pay lots of money to watch chess/checkers.  They want to be entertained.  Football is legitimate competition, but it also entertains because you don't know what is going to happen next.  I think UFC is doing great, but as with everything, it has a shelf life.

  1. 100% agree that each PPV card needs a title fight, especially for the insane prices they charge. I'm more interested than your average fan, but slightly less than a diehard (who will always buy)...I should be interested in buying 80% of the events. This past year has been tough to spend the money though, with most of the top guys injured, and a lot of quality fights already on Spike.
