I just realized this thread has been going for a couple of years now.

I just found it too!I just realized this thread has been going for a couple of years now.
Yeah, Big Al's was fairly empty tonight so I was curious what was going on, then I examined the card more closely and saw it was stacked heavily in favor of Brazilian fighters. If I wasn't so lazy I'd calculate the percentage of wins by Brazilian fighters by both the prelims and main card. Maybe tomorrow...Jose and Smith ...... now does Astro Boy have a shot? EDIT - gotta love Brazil judges.
Lousy card, but oh well ..........
I can't believe Connor is fighting again.
I stopped watching about the time chuck retired. Seems more like wwf nowI used to host UFC fights at my house from way way back.
Then they started in with the drama. Then they started going from 1 fight a month to 1 fight every 3 weeks. Then drama seemed to be more of what was shown/talked about then the fights.
Loose a few fights in a row and your done.
Only good thing UFC has going for them is Rogan. I don't think you could get a better commentator anywhere.
One fights have been going for a very long time and while they still have paid events, they also have free cards about once a month on Prime. It's not heavily advertised so you have to search for it but they have all of the old fights to view and just showed free fight 22 Friday night.
The fighters are more respectful. There is a $50k bonus on the line for finishing a fight in a grand way, there are penalties for not constantly engaging and they do grappling, muy thai, kickboxing and mma. So the fights are imo much better than most ufc fights. I haven't watched a ufc fight in a couple of years so maybe it's changed again but for a free card I thinks it's hard to be the One Prime fights.
Yeah, he's gonna get starched.
There's definitely that element there, but once that cage door is shut that all goes away.I stopped watching about the time chuck retired. Seems more like wwf now

Highlights:
- Anthony Smith's guillotine during the takedown.
- Pereira's reverse flip flying knee (or whatever the hell that was). I was LOLing.
They really gave him a break on that dumb stunt. That chin strike to a downed opponent set up his win. He should have been DQ'd. The refs probably knew it they DQ'd Pereira, the Brazilians would burn down the place.

Yes, I was thinking the exact same thing. During the confused huddle following that someone probably made the executive decision to let it ride in front of the Brazilian home crowd, even though technically it was a foul and could have easily been a DQ.They really gave him a break on that dumb stunt.
