You would like the UG, that place is a UFC circle jerk

Half the guys will be weeded out in no time? No shit. The sport is cutthroat. Of course half the fighters will be weeded out. That's what makes the sport exciting. Everyone is fighting for their life in the UFC.I have no problem with undefeated prospects. But when the entire card is filled with prospects, by default, it CANNOT be a strong card. More than half of these guys will be weeded out in no time.
It's not great but personally I'm going to enjoy the opportunity to watch almost 12 straight hours of MMA.

UFC Berlin
Froch v Groves
UFC Brazil
All in a row.
Don't know the majority of the fighters on the Brazil event, but should be a good day of fights
The Brazil card isn't as good in comparison imo but I'm still looking forward to it. One guy I think people forget is Mark Eddiva from the Philippines who had a really impressive d

What's the problem? I expect half the fighters on any given card to not be in the UFC in 2 years. This has been true of every UFC card in the last 10 years.
I mean fuck look at UFC 116. At the time, it was hailed as one of the greatest cards in UFC history. But now, how many people are even actively fighting on the UFC roster? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_116
2: Brown and Schaub
Compare that to a "weak" card at the time in UFC 120: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_120, which featured gustafsson and maldonado on the prelims
Moral of the story: You don't know in advance which cards are going to produce the future stars.
A card full of prospects can be a strong card. IF all the fights turn about to be great fights that's a strong card in my book.
Tomorrow is a day for true fight fans. Not these cry babies who complain about weak cards all the bloody time yet have 1000s of post on sherdog.
Being from the UK and having some decent knowledge of these European prospects on the Berlin card has me really excited.

Strongly disagree.
Rashid Magomedov is a future star.
Edimilson Souza and Eddiva both had awesome debuts.
Cara de Sapato vs Lex Luthor and Warlley vs Lyoto are both fantastic TUF finals.
Jason is a star in brazil for winning tuf brazil 1, and is never in a boring fight.
Elias Silverio is a future contender.
Maia vs Yakovlev is a solid fight.
Cap it off with a pride style main event in Brawldonado vs Miocic. What's not to love?
The 'true fight fan' bs needs to stop. Only getting excited for the bigger fights doesn't mean ur not a true fan. I don't bother watching the majority of the undercards. Still love mma. It isn't a contest to be the biggest fan! Uncle Dana isn't gunna give you props for it
Football is my favourite sport. It doesn't mean I watch every game that's on tv, especially not league 2 or conference shit!
I don't understand people.
Yakovlev destroyed Daley. If he destroyed Daley in the UFC and was fighting Maia, people would be excited. He destroys Daley outside the UFC, and nobody cares that he's fighting Maia.
Fights outside the UFC are not qualitatively different than fights inside, as much as some people apparently believe.
Both cards are weak. I'd rather have one good card.
