Im a huge fan of Bj Penn, Anderson and GSP. I thought it was a more exciting match when Bj lost to frankie than when he smashed diego. When Anderson was getting dragged around the ring by Chael was better than when Anderson went into matrix mode on forest. Im a fan of the the champs but i love rooting for the underdog. My favorite time in mma was the LHW division when Liddell lost to jackson, jackson to griffin, griffin to evans, evans to machida, machida to rua and rua to jones. Up to that point most of those fights were a toss up. You honestly couldnt tell who was gonna win. Now it seems the championship fights are too predictable. Am i the only one?
hey fellow masshole
I'm kind of the same way but a lot of my favorite fighters aren't exactly world beaters so I don't always have a choice.Well the cain jds fight wasn't too predictable.I made my picks on here I think I picked cain it a kinda toss up don't remember exactly.I was back and forth in that fight.
I think the championship fights have gotten more predictable because people are much better informed and know there stuff(just not most on here lol).....but the cards as a whole I think show a different story,a drastically different story.I'm #1 betting all time at the tracker so i'm pretty good at betting and there were so many close fights on paper these last 6 or so events.We are coming into a time where people are so good guy's betting are scratching for footage and info on how training and camps etc are going.People improve so fast it's hard to tell.
I can't remember what event it was but months ago there were 8 HEAVY underdog's that won on a ufc card.Every event there's some big underdog winning it seems.There's plenty there to keep you from now knowing what's gonna happen.
You think Aldo's just gonna walk through frankie edgar ? I doubt it.He'll probably win but frankie will be fast as fuck not packing on that extra weight he's a huge threat to aldo I don't care what any nuthuggers say.I bet against my favorite fighters all the time i'm not biased at all when picking fights but if aldo can't take edgar out early I think he would be in big jeopardy of losing his strap by decision.
There's plenty to keep it interesting to me.If someone's getting bored or think's cards are watered down shit go watch at least 2 recent fights of everyone on the card then you'll be excited about the card or you just shouldn't be watching mma(this isn't pointed towards ts).I think the mma "fans" these days are mostly just wannabe fans who lack the patience to dig a little deeper to be more informed ultimately making the fights more interesting.The new adderall induced fans are ruining forums and giving mma a little black eye lol.
So yeah there's some predictable title fights kicking around here and there but they are also sensible in most cases.I'm ok with sonnen jones because jones has fought what seems like 87X more than any other champ and the show understandably needs help.I'm not happy about it one but I feel I can't bitch when the guy's fought all the time...even if I heavily dislike him he's paid his due's in that dept.This also gives time for a clear #1 contender and a possible match with daniel cormier(via dana white).So in the big picture it's not a big deal.
Like I always say if something's so predictable bet a bunch of money on it 99% of people don't for a reason because mma isn't too easy to predict consistently at a very accurate rate.The top guy on fantasy betting here on sherdog has a correct percentage of only 65% I think that should say enough....and about I don't remember 5 or 10% picked cain to win.
