Wow they sure blew it. Three boring fights and I mean really boring fights. If I were a casual viewer and gave UFC a chance they would have lost me forever. UFC's match maker what's his name Joe Silva ? He fucked up big time.
Silva didnt have much to do with last night. You had two fights on there that were for the #1 contenders spot. No matchmaking needed.
Yes it was awful, the first 2 events were terrible but Fox, and potential new fans, should know that, in pro sports, these kind of things happens and their is no need to panic
Lets call it what it was. A free commercial for Evans and Sonnen to look good in order to buy their ppv fights against the champion. They wasn't number 1 contender fights.
I got a text from a good friend of mine. Never watches MMA. He is all about the NFL. Told me he watched the fights on Fox. Said he didn't like the 1st one, but loved the second two and asked me if I was gonna get the Diaz ppv. I ain't sayin, but I'm just sayin
Rashad / Davis wasn't for #1 contendership. Davis wasn't getting a shot if he won. Dan Denderson was.
If davis KOed Rashad cold, davis would have gotten that shot. Henderson is currently on Dana's shit list again.
Yup. If Davis KOed Rashad in spectacular fashon, on Fox, i see Dana making the Davis/Jones fight right away.
boss is exactly right. its not a number 1 contender bout when if 1 guy can win and not get a title bout. which is exactly why i called it what i did. it was a commercial to set up ppv bouts.
