Come on, ESPN

After watching Sportscenter I was disappointed that the hotdog eating contest made the top ten but nothing from last night's UFC card did. And who ever said "competitive eating" was a sport anyway? And it's not like they hadn't acknowledged last night's ppv. They mentioned that "Forrest Griffin was the first TUF show winner to hold a title," even though they must have forgotten about Matt Serra. I guess I'll have to find a more reliable sports news show.

Were there any highlight worthy moments on last night's card? I didn't see any, did you?

ESPN is crap. The only time I've watched it in the past few years is ESPN 2 for the Euro Cup. I will say that the online show, MMALIVE is pretty good.

It was #9 on the Top 10 of the night last night. No highlights shown other than some wrestling in round 2. I think the announcers just mentioned the title change and said "Griffin was just too much for the champ"

i'm sure there was something better than 2 idiots stuffing hotdogs in their mouth. as far as it being on #9 last night I didn't see that, so thats kinda cool i guess.

dont bash "the greatest sport of all time" as the hotdog anouncers refer to it. it is actually very entertaining, and u sir are acting just the way the ignorant pricks act towards mma, even though they know shit about the other sport

Yeah, the hot dog eating contest was exciting.

Both guys held leads at different points in the contest.

The tiebreaker was exciting.

You know they got to have the hot dog eating man. Its a 4th of July tradition. And if you are watching ESPN for your MMA news you don't know what the fuck your doing.
