After watching Affliction and Dream...

I can honestly say UFC is my least favorite of the 3 orgs.

Sure, they have some of the best fighters, but the cards are for shit. They put 4 known, good fighters on the card, the rest is filled with tuf castoffs. I no longer pay 45 bucks for that garbage.

I give the ufc a big fat kissoff

Same here man. The sooner there is free movement for fighters so we can get more quality shows the better. Im not saying boxing is perfect but if the money is there for a fight it happens. The UFC and other orgs fuck that up by treating their fighters as indentured servants.

Okay.... A lot of people have felt that way for a long time.

Part of why I can't stand TUF is that aside from the winners, it's rare that anyone from the show turns into a genuine contender... but the losers get trotted back through because the typical tuf fan knows them... and it saves Zuffa money. Better to spend $5-8k on a TUFer than $200 k (if that) on a bonafide contender.

So you'd rather watch Affliction that's full of UFC has-beens?

I guess your standards are lower for Affliction.
