As long as Jesus turns up!

Well by you saying it's bigger it sounds like you yourself are buying the hype.

We both know it's not "bigger" than Lawler/Condit in any way that actually matters to the sport, or a true fan. It's only bigger for Zuffa because more sheep will buy it.

I agree with this, but the UFC's business model isn't built around hardcores, it's built around the casual buy-in. So while Condit/Lawler would by far be the better, more satisfying match to watch as a fan of MMA, Ronda is the better match for securing dollars.

JW's reduce Jesus' role versus regular Christians. He's just another created being.

Yes but we can't use the No forget Jesus line.

Bigger = more buys. That's pretty reasonable.

Is it bigger to the "true" fan? Well, apart from labeling someone (or yourself) as "true" is pretty lame, I aggree. As I did previously.

The "sheep" are the next generation of "true" fans. At some point in time, most of us were "sheep", buying into the hype of mma/ufc.

Ya, I have no idea

 

[Toad Frogan]

Not hot at any weight...does look better at weigh ins though, but that is 3 days a year, and her butt only gets flatter then despite her saying she has the best butt in MMA, it is pretty bad.

Fuckin gross if you ask me.

You don't know shit.

According to Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus Christ is God's only son, our Messiah.

Quick Google: Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is God's "only-begotten Son", and that his life began in heaven. He is described as God's first creation and the "exact representation of God", but is believed to be a separate entity and not part of a Trinity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah's_Witnesses_beliefs

No, I am not a Jehovah's Witness, but I have studied with them extensively.

What separates me is I am not hardcore, but knowledgeable about it.

You are clearly just interjecting your ignorant shit in hopes of spreading your shit whenever you have a chance.

WMMA sucks.

 

[V Belfort]

Fuckin gross if you ask me.

Not sure if you agree or disagree, but that second picture of Ronda from behind reminds me of those "people of walmart" type photos.

 

[lapollarecords]

they still get Hunt KTFOing non-juiced Big Foot and a pretty decent fight in Bisping vs Whittaker

I agree, had same in front of me 5 min ago too. Disgusting for an Athlete.
She should never talk about Arianny again.

 

[zuffazombee]

That's a big catfish

 

[Paradigm]

Ronda is a bigger draw than Lawler-Condit.

It's not even debatable.

Not to some of the hardcore fans, no. If you're an elitist, I see why you would be bummed. But for the question at hand, the Rousey fight is bigger than the Lawler one.

And Taylor Swift sold more albums than Bocelli in recent years...same shit.

"Bigger" for who? Chicks, and newbs?

Bigger why? Cause Dana and Rogan say so?

I'm willing to bet it's not bigger for 99% of the posters here, or for anyone who's followed the sport for a while.

people here aren't paying the UFC's bills...hardcores aren't the target demographic.

 

[Prime Yossarian]

If it were in my home town, I'd go see it. Thousands of fans are on the ufc aus facebook page saying they're not flying over for the card any more - myself included.

Was so gutted to hear the news about the cancellation, but if it happened after I bought tickets, i'd be ropeable.

 

[juggernaut986]

I think it will sell out!

 

[phoenixikki]

Told ya it was gonna flop

Who the fuck is Bocelli?
