Why Is ESPN Already Calling UFC 100 "The Biggest Event in MMA History?"

The actual biggest is probably Yoshida Vs. Ogawa.

Its just a number celebrating UFCs ability to stay in business and profit. Just the fact that an MMA company can put on 100 big events in the American market with all the BS it has to deal with from the regulations, media, and old school sports fans just making it to 100 is huge. It shows MMA is here to stay and is mainstream. Has nothing to do with the event, just that its a landmark number in the history of MMA.

I don't know but, apparently if you don't hate Fedor or get offended by people suggesting there is talent outside of the UFC and you don't like how Dana treats his fighters you hate everything about the UFC and all the fighters in it. They basically think there are people the polar opposite of them where they are as bad of org. nuthuggers as them when it isn't true.

GSP, Hendo, and Alves are all great fighters but, none of the fights are huge fights.

How is GSP vs Alves not a huge fighter. GSP is the Welterweight king pin and alves knocks peoples heads off including Matt Hughes the greatest welterweight of all the time.

Funny, I was wondering the opposite. It's so sheik to hate UFC now. It's just like the whole "Let's hate George Bush" thing. What a bunch of sheeple.


Whatever YOU whiners love I hate.


PS: I like toast.

Pride Final Conflict 2005 had the best card of all time.
100 is just a token number with some decent fights.

brock vs mir for the secondary Hw mma title
Gsp vs a hyped up striker that he will destroy
Past prime hendo vs a nobody(oh wait thank god for tuf)

at least the sexyone will be making his debut.

That's a little harsh I guess you HW description is true.

I think Alves is a very solid fighter but, he hasn't been in the spotlight as long as the guys at Pride Shockwave 2005.

Well Hendo hasn't looked past his prime really...and honestly your description of Bisping is dead on at this point, he is marketed to the UK audience alot but, he has never beaten anyone.

Biggest event, but not in any quantifiable way. Woo.

Seems pretty big to me. I don't really have an arguement against it, so I'll just nod my head.
