IMO, the UFC tries waaaay to hard to impress the casual viewers (fuck them). They need to stop with all the BS marketing and cater to it's hardcore fans. Youre either in or outside the fence(pun intended).
"White is plenty likable—it would be pretty great if David Stern responded to critics by saying, “People are fucking stupid and say dumb shit”— David Stern basically says that for something he does every year. Definitely did after the Spurs fine situation.
So two of MMA's biggest derps got together to write an article. I'm supposed to be surprised it has a negative slant?
The UFC is not in bad shape, and neither is MMA. Between FOX and Globo, more people are watching UFC events than ever before. Bellator is on SPIKE, the UFC is on three different channels and then there's AXS fights on top of that.
"by tomas rios" no thank you...dude is bonkers, easily the worst sherdog contributer, AND the worst roundtable participant...his picks were retarded and embarrassing
Some interesting points but damn that article needed to get to them quicker. The interesting points are heavily outnumbered by redundant shite though. The idea that Fox benefits no matter what is scary.
Why is this being posted now? This was done and posted a month ago why is it being brought back up? I guess I answered my own question.
Well thought out response. Honestly, though, I can't blame you on that one. Rios is one of the biggest known UFC haters, and any article written by him is inevitably going to be filled with his bias.
For those who don't know what a joke Tomas Rios is: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f61/voice-rogan-school-thomas-rios-1439967/
Rios is a joke. If you're going to pretend to be a writer, pretend to use correct grammar and punctuation, dipshit. Further, some of these "quotes" sound like something his buddy said while drinking.
My opinion is that the next Fox card will see a boost in ratings if its well placed and features fights that deliver. The last card was pretty exciting (despite that the main event was just a five round one sided beating) and people are discussing it much more commonly than events 2-4.
