Yeah, so many events . . . so many new guys . . . so many fucking fights canceled or postponed due to injury . . . so many immediate rematches . . . so many interim belts. . . So many reasons that I am just not the fan that I used to be.
I also think a lack of any real competition is having an effect as well. For the longest time you had the UFC/Pride rivalry (though admittedly I only caught the tail end of that). And then you had that period where there were these upstarts like EliteXC, Affliction and Strikeforce (their MMA division, at least) and that all added some spice to the situation.
Coker's doing some interesting things with Bellator, which is nice considering Bellator was a fucking boring organization under Bjorn. So maybe that will really turn into something cool. But WSOF I basically view as a non-entity. And beyond those two, there's really nothing happening.
Funny enough I used to watch Bellator way more often than I do now lol. The freakshow fights with Shamrock and Kimbo headlining cards, and the elimination of tournaments have kind of taken what used to be a really nice change of pace, and turned it into just another promotion with, overall, a lesser talent pool.
I try to keep up on WSOF, but I end up missing it alot of the time(probably because they don't do a whole lot of promoting their cards, so I don't even know I've missed one most of the time until after it's over and done with).
