UFC 130 - Rampage vs. Hamill

It was supposed to be Frankie/Maynard 3 but one of them pulled out at the last second.

Context ftw.
 
Zuffa has never been afraid to put out a shitty card.
It is all about how they sell it.
 
Even tho page didn't get a stoppage hamill said after that fight he was in so much pain and that's why he retired. Said his body was in pain and page did throw some hellish knees. One thing about rampage when he doesn't fear the takedown he will open up as show in the hamill fight and the maldanado fight even tho fabio decided to turn wrestler and back up the whole fight which he didn't even do with glover lol. Guys hate to be in the pocket with rampage for some reason :)
 
I remember waaaayyyy back in time how much we were all griping about UFC 37 and how crappy the card was from top to bottom. "Lindland/Bustamante in the main event?" was a common refrain. The show was awesome. The reverse has also proven true.

That being said, UFC 130 was pretty damn crappy apart from Browne nearly killing Struve. There were still some interesting matchups in this one, despite a lackluster main event, but the fights themselves were fairly meh. Still better than most of the Brazilian fight nights they've been putting on lately though.

It's a ppv of course it's better than a small time ppv show.

Some of you just don't get it
 
This one hits me harder. We paid money for good seats and airfare to see Edgar and Maynard. Ironically though it got rescheduled to Houston which is only 2 hours from where I live
 
I remember buying that card and immediately afterwards I was like....damn, what was I thinking?

But back then I could give the UFC the benefit of the doubt.
