UFC Match Makers Killing their Market in Japan?

[Norman Edwards]

Why do they keep setting up Japanese legends to get slaughtered every Japanese card? I doubt trhe UFC will ever return to Japan because no one wants to see this happen.

They didn't book Sakuraba as the replacement.

Which "legend" are you talking about? Gomi?

 

[Pem123]

Hey, that was a great card though.

 

[jsbx45]

The Japanese are way more loyal to their fans than the average Sherdogger.

 

[KlNG]

Manowaman would have been a better replacement.

 

[Okajima]

Sexyama won his last time out. Too bad he never fights anymore.

 

[Okajima]

Okami isn't a legend.

Or are you talking about Gomi?

 

[McSpikes]

Japan's garbage talent pool is ruining UFCs market in Japan

 

[capnlarge]

I can't think of anyone the UFC could match Gomi up with that Gomi would win...

I think other than Gomi and Okami, the Japanese fighters all won their fights

 

[leto1776]

Japanese don't care if their fighters lose, particularly if they go out on a stretch- um, Shield. Yeah. Go out on their shield.

Manowaman would have been a better replacement.

He fights in Korea in a few hours.

The card sucked tonight.

Bunch of Japanese cans.

The women straw weight looked like she has masculine biceps.

This was boring and no different to a local mma show with amateurs you can watch while drinking beer.

 

[Norman Edwards]

Okami isn't a legend.

Or are you talking about Gomi?

Both. I have no idea why Gomi still fights having lost 5 first round KO's in a row... He used to have a granite chin against Diaz and Azuredo. UFC is bad for Japan ultimately. They need to cultivate their own talent on shows like RIZEN.

This is why China said no to the UFC. Didn't want to be embarrassed with all their Shaolin monk fighters that can jump 20 ft in the air and do multiple 360 flip kicks but getting choked out easily. Monks who can pull 5 cars with a steel chain tied around their ballsacks but instantly taken down and submitted.

The card sucked tonight.

Bunch of Japanese cans.

The women straw weight looked like she has masculine biceps.

This was boring and no different to a local mma show with amateurs you can watch while drinking beer.

The Womens fight was as dope AF.
