I dunno, I think theres some revisionist history with MMA. Did anyone see 172 and the Brown Silva card? LOADS of good fights, 172 was one of the best events I've ever seen, if not the best, and if the Brown Silva card was a little trimmed down and not 5 hours long it could have been the best also.
MMA is better than ever, there are a few minor flaws that have come with the growth of the sports (stupid rules, watered down cards) but even with the watered down cards like the Macao event on Fight pass, they can have the best fights, just not big names.
The only mma related person I truly care about is Bj
but to be honest, from a division stand point and the type of opponents that they can face, the only interesting division
is lightweight and middle weight. Jon Jones crushes everyone at light heavyweight and Velasquez also crushes everyone at heavyweight.
all the other champions have no personality, the UFC doesn't build them up, and their opponents have no credibility either.
I look at the next 5 ufc cards and I simply do not care at all.
The UFC really dropped the ball on promoting their fighters into people I care about.
They really need to give a chance for someone to show their strong personality. Someone like mayweather. because the rest of these guys are just not cutting it. I have more fun watching game of thrones and big brother. WWE is more interesting at the moment.
I don't watch just for the fights, I watch for the characters too. I want to see their dream and aspiration. I want to see what drive them to win. I don't want no cookie cutter fighter that's boring. Unless you can fight like Anderson Silva, then fighting skills is not enough. and the fighting is too generic right now, noone actually has styles. The fighters just have no personality at all.
Does the o in his name actually have a line through it? is that some kind of ancient chinese language?
How can you not like Barao? He is one of the most exciting champs. Is it cause you think you can beat him up?
ill get on the phone make sure Dana White has a direct connection to your opinions. Anything else you want me to tell him?

We all know that's Jones.
Not weak anymoreAnd Weidman could become a legend at middleweight. Seems to be a weak weightclass as The Spider ate contenders left and right.
