The Contenders: Worldwide MMA:This is the place for all non-UFC (WEC/Pride) events, including Strikeforce, Affliction, HDNet Fights ,Cage Rage, KOTC, ROTR, Shooto, and the like.
So, the past few ufc ppv numbers are in , and since there isn't much buzz surrounding them because they didn't do as well considering they had their stars Tito , Forrest, and Machida on them, I will just point out that if these were great numbers we would see a couple dozen threads praising zuffa. Well , not being one to let the opportunity to slip by to say I told you so, this just reinforces what I've been saying about the Downward decline and momentum shift that the ufc is facing due to it's own bad decisions that are alienating fans both casual and hardcore . Especially if you put this in context comparing it to strikeforce's 25 million viewers, you can start to see where this trend is headed.
Right , mate ....
While Dana was BSiting about SF & M1 Global , they were just making a fan base worldwide with free shows.
Did anyone happen to catch Jesse Ventura on the Howard Stern show yesterday?
It was beyond wierd.
The usual conspiracy theory stuff on 9/11 and what not, but then he went on to say really whack stuff about the US gov. making a super powerfull radio transmitter in the arctic that they are using to control our minds!
Then he said the Taliban were actually stopping the Opium trade in Afganistan which caused the downfall of American banks, so the Americans went in and ousted the Tali's, released all the criminal drug lords the Taliban had put in jail, then got the drug trade back and running...
...and thats what turned around the American banking system.
If he had stopped there I would have had a good laugh, but he just kept on and on with more and more wild stuff, it even had Stern a little thrown off I think.
...not trying to say your that bad LTfan, but some of this just made me remember how surreal the show was.
Ventura is full of shit aswell. I enjoy the guy until he goes on his conspiracy tirades. He was probably just amping up the lunacy because he has that new show about conspiracies coming on now. Gotta make that money off the doofuses like the TS. He got ran off a radio show recently by a comedian for talking stupid.

The numbers show that 104 exceeded expectations and 106 didn't meet them
the numbers went down 27% from 104 to 106
now if we believed that the trend would continue at that rate the UFC will be gone by UFC 112
or if we instead looked at how many people were lost from 104 to 106, the UFC will have a negative number of viewers by 110.

I dont know why there is discussion of Jessie Ventura here , as i never even mentioned him(nor would i trust anyone with his track record , regardless of his history as a profesional wrestler AND a governor in the U.S.A ) . Is it because he has been interviewed on Alex Jones show? Well , So what? he also has interviewed and agreed on many points also with Jim Marrs and David Icke , but that doesnt necessarily mean that he goes along with their every conspiracy theory (for ex. he is opposed to the lizard humanoid theory that they both believe in.) Lets not tie the two together as they are different people , different entities , and different mindsets.
Please , lets not stray off topic here , I know some are trying to hijack this thread , but ignore them as they have already shown their hand , and their weak argument against substantial proof on how the Fertittas run zuffa like a clean mafia , and execute hostile financial takeovers just like any monopolist trying to corner the market and kill competition would. Here is a video exposing the Xyience, UFC, Fertitta, Zuffa, Zyen, MMA, Bankruptcy Scandal:

If people are sick and tired of this corrupt organization the best thing you can do it quit being mindless sheep and forking over the $39.99+ every month you spend on their events. When you keep giving them money they will never change. Boycott them like I did.
Well , in retrospect , we had an awesome k1 gp This weekend where almost all the fights ended quickly and in impressive fashion , and then we had this ufc tuf season 10 finale which left many dissapointed with a boring decision between Kimbo and Houston Alexander. Also we witnessed controversial decision between John Jones and Matt Hammill (why wasn't a point deducted instead of stopping the fight?, also , ironic how in the next fight those same 12 to 6 elbows were used also but there wasn't any penalty for those?).
Then I ask myself , why during these last few days have we been bombarded with nothing but tuf finale news and nothing at all on k1's awesome gp on sherdogs front newspage? Why isnt there balanced coverage anymore?

a point was deducted. DQ was rules later.
and sherdog's always had zuffa biased look at the title.

Wow, so you support k-1 yet preach ethics about the UFC? Are you serious right now?
UFC is 100% show business now, while an internet star is facing a bottom-tier lHW during a redneck booze party, you hear the announcers say: "keep watching for the 1000 strangest way to die, real life stories from people dying in the strangest ways." I have long stopped taking American MMA seriously.
