ummm

Its funny because these guys are soooo bad, that most of their fights are decision fights... i didnt like Bonnar vs Griffin at all, and i think Griffin is going to get smashed in his title shot, but explain this, we now have Wanderlei Silva Dan Henderson Crazy Horse shogun rua and a bunch of other expensive fighers......

Here is the proof in a nutshell that regardless of if its good or bad that the talent level isnt there....

Keith Jardine, gets smashed by houston alexander, wins a decision against lidell after lidell fought the toughest fight of his life and then gets smashed by someone (silva) that lidell took 3 rounds of punishment from and still won the fight! it just shows you like in any sport anyone can win on any given night (patriots vs giants superbowl) but that some guys are just on another level... Some guys just wont get replaced... and you can say that anderson silva and wanderlei and a bunch of others were on their way out in pride but they ARE STILL BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION UFC THROWS AT THEM!

TUF isnt good or bad, it was necessary

There is more than enough top talent for 9-10 organizations. MMA is still in its infancy...I am sure we will see fighters go from one green pasture to the next greener pasture...again and again.

Bottom line is we need this show to grow the sport. Boxing died a slow death because no one knew the fighters and therefore there was no vested interest in watching a fight where the outcome is irrelevant to you. The show introduces the casual fan to these dudes and serves a purposes in that regard

I just read that the IFL was a public company. 2 cents a share and hemorraging money. Maybe soon to go bankrupt. I don't like that UFC is absorbing other fight organizations like pride. It smacks of a potential monopoly to me. And that means that fighters will have to obey Dana White or be blacklisted.
