Is any one tired of the UFC rematches as main events???
If you go back in the past year or so and think of the big fights that the UFC has had you think of

Randy vs Chuck 2
Randy vs Chuck 3
AA vs Tim 2
Chuck vs Horn 2

And lets look into the next few months you got

AA vs Tim 3
Tito vs Ken 2
Matt vs GSP 2
Chuck vs Babalu 2

Future fights include

Matt vs Penn 2
Chuck vs Tito 2

Is anyone getting tired of these fights, they are so predicatable and have already happend. Why does the UFC do this. Its ok to have a rematch but that about 8 in the past year that are main events.

YES!!

And also about how they use their talent pool....such as having PDP and Monson fight so soon, and Lister and Sakara fight so soon....when they should have been built up into contenders.

You predicted Sylvia would knock out AA and that Chuck would KO randy in the second fights?

Please tell me how GSP/Hughes II and Penn/Hughes II will go down as well....Chuck's gonna KO Babalu with another kick?


Out of curiousity list the main events of the past Pride's....i'm wondering how they are as far as being predictable.

If they put Lister/Sakara together people complain that they are fighting too soon, if they feed them cans then people will complain about that too. Next time someone complains about Mir fighting Dan Christianson be sure and tell them "don't worry he's being built up"

i would rather see rematches of 2 good fighters than see a good fighter vs. a shit fighter for the main event title match

If both fighters are the best in their division, why not?

Low talent pool in all but one division.

I don't have anything against rematches so long as they make sense. Having the Randy/Chuck rubber series was very entertaining to me, and I'm anticipating Chuck/Babalu and/or Tito II as well as Hughes/GSP II.

I think when the UFC pushes for Liddell/Horn III or Hughes/Riggs II, then you can hold up a red flag, but so long as they are logical rematches with a point to them, I have no problem at all watching two great fighters go at it more than once.

No and herre is why

AA vs Tim 3 - lets get it over with. Has potential to be a war
Tito vs Ken 2 - Ken getting demolished is always a good time
Matt vs GSP 2 - Who is not psyched for this one????
Chuck vs Babalu 2 - See above

Future fights include

Matt vs Penn 2 - EVERYONE is waiting for this fight
Chuck vs Tito 2 - Will sell a bunch of tickets and could be a WAR

I'd say the talent pool is good in MW and WW....LW is filling up nicely and will continue to do so since there is an abundance of talent at 155
