Essential The Official MMA Thread

[morris]

Reading these prior posts makes me see why UFC is and will remain unchallenged as the premier MMA organization, until fighters form their own company and allow the government to truly run it as people will want to bet on it, medical services will be needed and taxes will need to be collected.

See, fighters say UFC does not treat them like humans, and it's true. Fighting, especially in MMA, takes a huge toll on the body and it takes time to recover. Unfortunately for fighters, we live in an Internet world where people want their fix fast. Fighters must fight each other fast and often--especially when they are bound by contract. And the UFC has delivered in this aspect and sue to the ever-growing number of fighters (gyms are being built all around and makers of the gear it takes to run an MMA gym have noticed and that means more money and more entities getting involved).

Boxing does not suffer from this, however, it has made many fans defect due to the number of divisions and belts and the politics of the sport.

Somebody is getting their lights put out in that Daley vs MVP fight.

Daley hits like a Mac Truck. MVP gotta bring his A game for sure

Larkin cool idk what his price is but he would have to be beat a contender to get a real good price. Magny wasn't enough even tho that was a good win

Kind of sucks. He basically beat Magny and Masvidal at the wrong times. Maia already took Magny's momentum and if Larkin beat Masvidal after what he did to Cerrone then nobody would be shutting up about him right now. I think Lorenz should be back as a contender and getting paid what he's worth but of course the UFC tries to use every little thing against a fighter...

UFC 208 is going to have a 3 man booth of Anik, Rogan and DC seems a bit WWE to me but whatever..I remember when they use to have Randy with goldy and rogan



Ps I don't know why UFC/Fs1 are so high on DC, could just about tolerate him as an analyst but his annoying traits are amplified on commentary. In saying that there is more chance of hearing something memorable (bad or good) than say if it was robotic Kenny or stann

Stann has some work to do but his radio show is great.

I think DC will retire in 4 matches max

Stann to me is the future but he gets caught watching the fight like a fan instead of working sometimes

Yeah he's pretty long in the tooth and UFC have done a horrible job building the LHW division. At this point he's just hanging around for Jones, if he loses the rematch he's got no other reason to stick around for.
