    I like fightnews and don't expect them to be a bastion of credibility, but come on. Earlier today I noticed the first 3 stories and it barely registered, but this fourth story made it sink in what a shithole it is:

    1 UFC's unofficial half-year awards: The knockouts
    and up 6 spots
    2 Watch Countdown to UFC 149!!
    and up 3 spots
    3 UFC's unofficial half-year awards: The fights
    but what really made it sink in...
    up 8 spots
    4 Super Six – Memorable Cheick Kongo Moments

    A mikE post that should be respected by all.

    Mad-Man Pops Garcia has a point when he wafts endlessly on about UFC.

    UFC is bollox and annoying. Each to his own, of course, but I despise the trending. Fightnews is a BOXING site.

    Since nobody cares about boxing anymore, they need to put up something of interest.

    That was a really good one. I now like Vitali a little more than I did a few minutes ago.

    I think Yahoo sports is worst...there hasn't been a UFC PPV that didn't live up to the hype. All have been awesome, or a great display of skills, or will, or an intriguing fight, one for the ages.

    Infortunately, MMA is more mainstream than boxing now, I guess.

    It certainly doesn't bother me to see MMA news on fightnews. Not really sure why anyone would be bothered by this.

    Agree, and I'm not bothered. I actually prefer to have the news incorporated together.

    The things that I was referring to were inserted into the regular 'news' section, but they weren't news, they were advertisements that were not labeled as such.

    Probably why it's so popular in Canada.
