Do you guys realize if you only had 3-5 cards a year, Jon Jones would not have even gotten a title shot for 2 more years.

If you think there are too many cards, you really need to start skipping some.
Nah, he would've gotten his shot anyway. Let's say Rashad had not been injured, and fought Shogun before Jones. I think Jon was next in line anyway.

As an objective thinker, I realize that the numerous cards and new divisions and raping of WEC/Bellator/Pride/Strikeforce, etc. has diluted MMA somewhat....but as a selfish sports fan, I'm loving the fact that a new MMA card is on every 5 - 7 days.

And a bunch of nobodies fighting is usually not boring fights b/c a) they wanna make a name for themselves so they go all out and b)those fights usually produce more finishes b/c you're culling the weak.:gladbron:

I'm :eat: for, at least, the next 9 and a half years.

how do you figure ? Jones would not have had a 5 fight win streak before the shogun fight. He MAYBE would have been 1-0 or 2-0 if there only 3-5 cards a year.
