:russ: you know why :mjpls: funny how theres never been 1 pundit, journalist or fighter that has pointed this out
I wouldn't have thought about it if it hadn't been for kung fu flicks. The aggressive fighter can't beat the humble technician so he gets juiced up on some ped before the fight to try and win. Art imitates life

Damn shame a women (Dana said women's MMA was a joke years earlier :skip: ) one of your biggest draws in 2014. They OD on these fukking cards shyt is like fast food right now. Burying your pillars that made your company fukking must see gets tiring as well. Dana also needs to realize people don't wanna see these fukking midgets in PPV main events no disrespect but that shyt ain't gonna move units.

i actually have caught myself losing interest in the last few years but i figured its because i stopped training. when i saw how many cards were on these 2 weeks i was like gotdamn. machida vs weidman should be fun tho at least.

nah fukk that, its not that they dont have stars its just they keep putting their stars against cans, instead of putting stars vs stars, to cushion up records in an attempt to make them superstars like GSP and Silva. thing is both of them were in a UFC that didn't have ultra stars yet and built their reps based on that. Now we have stars and they keep putting them up against cans still.

I mean cmon man. Stop milking it and get real fights in there. I bet after Jones and Alex, some how, some way, Jones wont be facing DC, when everyone knows they should be fighting. Bring back the Diaz Brothers quit playing around with fan favs, makes some heels, and put big personalities in there. Hendricks is hot right now, but who's he scheduled to fight? Do we even know? I mean the second half is finally looking good....I think they saw how poor the first half of the year looked, now they're not dikking around anymore. I'm looking forward to just about all the championship fights, but the undercards always look a bit poor.

You are basing this on what? whoever comes out of that fight faces DC not because the ufc want it, it just so happens hes the only one worthy/healthy..

Bring back the Diaz Brothers quit playing around with fan favs, makes some heels, and put big personalities in there.
Dana has never hidden his hardon for the diaz's despite the insubordination and suspensions hes always supported them..The thing is they've become deluded over their self worth and are demanding the kind of money champions are on..And another thing Its not the ufc's job to make heels, if you are a showman or a jerk grab the mic and lets see what you got its the media's job to cultivate heels and then the ufc can use that to sell some tickets. To think ufc should manufacture heels themselves is :snoop: stick to wwe buddy..

Hendricks is hot right now, but who's he scheduled to fight? Do we even know?

Do you not listen to news? hes injured and the winner of the lawer/brown fight is number 1 contender tho personally I think if brown wins they give the shot to mcdonald

and right here is where I start discrediting and giving a fukk about your opinion. Jones and Ronda? we're going to act like Cain isnt? if Pettis would remain healthy and fight more than once a year, he could EASILY be a star. :what:
Hendricks isn't a star? Maybe for casual fans, but dude has been epic for the last year and a half.

That's not what the Diaz brothers' twitter are saying and it echos what A LOT of fighters say, that Dana says one thing to media, but another to the fighters. Wasn't Nate just on tweeter talking about how Dana lied and said he was offered a fight, but really wasnt?

Of course I know he was injured, he was cleared to train end of May, clown. :snoop:

what makes cain a star? cuz of brown pride? or is it cuz dana says it enough times :stopitslime: he aint a star.And for you to mention hendricks is laughable might as well say weidman while you are at it. Dont know why everyone is in a rush to annoint pettis when he hasnt defended his belt once or headlined a card as the big ticket

Dude before one can accept a fight they have to sign a contract nate aint about to until dana coughs up.If hes going to the media telling tales about offering him fights who cares the diaz are all about money now.How many fights as he offered nick and all nick says is if the price is right the diaz's are lost causes stop going on about them..

yes thats exactly why, its a fukking MASSIVE market, dude is on fukking George Lopez, Latino magazines, you better ask somebody. You better go to the southwest, westcoast, mexico and ask who they're favorite fighter is. I bet they dont even know how Ronda is. All 3 stars have their lanes, and Cain for sure has one.

Bullshyt, you have to write a contract out and fax it before you can sign it. and he never did, if a contract was made, and Nate DECLINED IT, thats different. Nate has been more than willing to go up against top 5 contenders. Nick is the one that wants top 2.

muthafukka that was May, its fukking JULY!!!!!! Not even a schedule yet. wtf.
