Indeed, I just don't get where people get the energy for all the negativity on here.

If it makes you feel better though, the UG is no better.

Self exaltation by comparing one's MMA prowess and acumen to that of the "Casual Fan." I lol at every poster who invokes this entity.

There HAS to be some subjectivity when it comes to a sport like this, but their data is far closer to objectivity than the average biased Sherdogger.

The fight itself I can understand...
I'm talking about the fights themselves, but even still, the finish wasn't all that exciting.

For me, and I know I'm not the only one, it's not about the actual finish, but it's whether or not they're TRYING.

I like fights that are dynamic, fluid, with ebbs and flows.

I'd watch a Cruz or a Bendo fight any day, regardless of whether or not they finish, just because they keep moving, they keep up a good pace, and they're constantly trying to cause damage.

The "I just met x fighter..."; seriously, is there any point to these threads?

Every Anderson thread being turned into a Fedor-bashing thread and vice-versa.

Being criticized if I dont care to watch <155lb divisions. If thats your thing, then cool. I have as much respect for the smaller fighters as the larger ones; I just dont find them entertaining personally.

9/10 crap.

You are what, going to run into the same opponent in your entire career no more than 3 times? Loser is a loser and a winner is a winner.

The video actually backed up what I was saying about how they group jabs in with strikes that visibly rock the opponent as "significant."
