Are MMA / UFC fans ungreatful / spoiled?

[cokebust]

I understand both sides of the argument, and although I won't be purchasing this card, I will still watch all the fights.

Reality is - the UFC is putting the TUF finales on PPV.

after seeing that dance gif i dont care about this thread

The free cards have been better than the PPV's lately anyways. with the exception of 146. mir getting hammer fisted was worth the $45 in itself.

That card was awesome!

I don't complain regardless because I never pay for a PPV card anyway, I always watch them at a local pub. People must realize that these cards were exciting in their initial planning but, unfortunately, a lot of these fighters got injured; so the UFC had to improvise at the last minute to get replacements. It's not like they are intentionally trying to screw you guys up (the PPV buyers), it's just that shit happens.

BTW. Wasn't it like 3 free cards in a row now? (Filled with exciting fights)

I would say those new to the sport are moreso than the old school fans that have watched big names come and go from the sport.

i dont see many "new" mma fans are bitching about the UFC putting on "too many" shows.

i will agree with you on the japs and brazilians matter..and i think this card is gonna be good too..wanderlei will fucking kill franklin hopefully in the first 20'' or sometime in the 2nd round (ill go play the lotery after that:P)

but in general we do have to deal with some pretty gay-ass cards cause they sign everyone just from the fear of being the one($$$$$)for them and we have to deal with this fucking scouting..i say re-open wec..and put all the top 20-40 fighters here and let the ones that get cut to go there...(WEC) and the champions to come to the UFC to fight either the champion or the top contender..


and they can stay with WEC at the same time.


im talking bollocks..but at the end of the day they need to do that shit..they only closed WEC so they can put the same fighters under the UFC banner and present them as more 'legit' - profitable fighters..thats how it works sadly..hermes franca for instance was welterweight or lightweight champion in the WEC..(and then fought sherk for the lightweight belt) in the UFC) but correct me if im wrong(i aint gonna look it up) and many dont know that..cause it aint as having the UFC belt.stating the obvious anyway.


thats how it used to be at the end of the day..adn they are screwing us over..they are making on many occassions the good older fighters wait for too long b4 they fight again and that has an effect on their performances..



minotauro was slow against veleasquez but very crisp against mir and that tall dude from the reality..brendan something



fuck zuffa.

this card is the worse ever thing to happen ever to anyone on the planet ever.

fixed.

Fans are fans...being a fan of the ufc doesn't require being grateful for gracing us with quality events that we pay $60 for... The UFC should be grateful for its fans that pay, and its employees who make dick considering what they're bringing in...we don't owe them shit considering the fans make the owners all rich.. It's well within fan's rights to bitch and moan about a ppv card that sucks ass...and to not buy it.

This card started out with the hopes and it would be Ando/Chael and Vitor/Wandy...and there was talk of it being in an enormous soccer stadium... Then the main event is moved and replaced...w/aldo...he gets hurt, Vitor gets hurt and the UFC says fuck it... We'll replace the epic main event with Wandy/Franklin (a fight not as good as the orig co-main)...and follow it with undercard fights from there... It's a shit product compared to what we expect based on past ppv's...so ppl are gonna bitch. That's how it goes..

Its called Strikeforce

I've never heard of a single fighter on this card, might as well be random drunks fighting in an alley.

Pretty much besides wandy, franklin and werdum, who the fuck are the other guys? Some of them may be up and commers in the future, but fuck putting all of them on ppv and expect it to sell.

This card is so shit, the UFC is offering refunds to people who bought tickets.

[Poop Cannon]

I think it's kind of funny that people generally talk about how the UFC is the greatest thing since sliced bread or microwave dinners. Yet, when you have a card like UFC 147 with a million changes, and about fucking 4 actual names most people know that are more than casual MMA fans (Silva, Franklin, Werdum and Russow), you are talking about a card that isn't really any better or worse than some free M-1 show. Seriously.

You can see a spew of perhaps entertaining fights in some semi-pro event in Cowshit County Georgia. If you want to talk about big shows, perhaps you should also chip in 45 bucks to see Dan Severn fight in some circus. You'll get the same entertainment and you don't have to listen to bald foulmouth shithead talk about it.

The free cards have been better than the PPV's lately anyways. with the exception of 146. mir getting hammer fisted was worth the $45 in itself.

Very true. I wonder how long it'll take before Dana and co. realize they can't just puke out whatever fight they think of on drunken nights onto a fight card and expect people to empty their wallets anymore.

This!

I understand it's really hard to put up a high volume of events with all the cancellations and sometimes just absurd matchups... but sheesh.
