This sucks.The reason MOST people think cards are watered down and shit is because they themselves know little or nothing about half the prelims.Sure there are some cards that aren't great but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them.If you'd cut an hour or two on forums and take that time to watch footage or learn about the guys you don't know the probability of you being more interested in the fights/fighters you previously didn't know is much much higher.Basically what i'm saying is a lot of people aren't interested because they don't know anything about the fighters but spend hours and hours on forums complaining about how terrible cards are instead of informing themselves about the fighters they are complaining about.For all the people that say "I don't have time for that" but spend hours and hours on forums please just stfu.
I pretty much love every card,I look forward to every card and am usually content with it when it's all said and done.Also,a lot of events that aren't great on paper end up great and vise versa,so why bitch and moan if you don't even know how it'll go down.So many entitled mma fans thinking every card should be over the top amazing doing themselves a disservice always being let down need to wake the fuck up and appreciate shit or if you really aren't that into a card then don't watch.Idiots think cutting the roster down is going to make better cards?Maybe a tad,but meanwhile they are cutting guys like the Barncat,Sarah Kaufman,letting great fighters walk cause they don't want to match the contract etc. and loading the roster with unknown "undefeated" fighters that have never fought outside of their country and TUF leftovers.It isn't gonna change anything or very little meanwhile more good fighters get cut.
I got UFC 1 on PPV,snatched up any mma I could back then on vhs etc. and have never gotten bored of mma.Unfortunately this post is too long for the majority of the members it's intended for,oh well.
