GLORY 4/DREAM 18 amount of fights...

Nova44 · 11-13-2012, 11:11 AM

Ok now i know no fights have been officially announced but a one night 16 man tournament means that there's 15 matches to begin with, then you've got Kawajiri, Takaya and Kitaoka in MMA fights, along with Robin Van Roosmalen's MMA debut, plus there will be more MMA fights to even out the numbers.

I'm not complaining but this card is going to have to be like 6 hours long...

UFC cards are normally 6 hours long, NYE one's are usually a lot longer.

NYE cards have been 8 + hours for awhile now, and as someone else said, UFC cards are already like 6+ hours long too. Not sure why they are so long nowadays when they are off TV. There is just so so much bullshit in between fights on those cards.

At least this card has enough fights where they won't have to pad it with a lot of non-fights.

Yeah they have always been an all day thing. As long as they air it live on AXS, it wont be a problem... I hated how they delayed it and split it into "sections" on HDNet.

They said it'll be around 7 hours. Glory cards so far have been really fast paced with no breaks in between fights. NYE cards being really long is the norm

There was a Dynamite card in 09 or 10 that was like 10 hours long at least that's the length it was on HDnet.

HDNet ran the previous three shows all the way through live, with the exception of 2010 which was on a small delay (2009 was on a small delay too until intermission I believe). They only split them when they air them again.

I think that is pretty good considering not even Japan got them live and it wasn't even on TV there last year.

Hope they run the show this year on AXS.TV.

NYE cards are usually 8 hours long, so this'll be the norm NYE card. Hopefully they speed up the card and put on as little crap as possible. It's cool and cute and all that, but I don't want to have to sit 8 hours just to watch this.
