Am I the only one who is tired of UFC rematches?

yea it gets old, i mean i dont mind maynard edgar 3 only cause of the outcome of the 2nd, but other than that rematches should only happen if it has been atleast 2 to 3 years after, i mean look how long it took them to do gsp kos 2.

I will not buy the same fight twice in 1 year

I was so happy to see Dan henderson actually decline a rematch with Shogun for this very reason.

Yeah fuck rematches. Shit if you lose then fuck you start working your way back up, simple.

So tired that I didn't watch Edgar vs Maynard 3, and I won't watch Henderson vs Edgar. Fuck rematches.

that's what happens when they don't follow rankings.
or work harder to find and sign fighters that can give the champs a better challenge.

A rematch is only justified if the first fight was competitive and entertaining.

Im really annoyed by this as well, but lets be honest, the UFC is only doing it because MMA has retarded fans that demand it every time a fight doesnt go the way they like. jf the fans want it, theres money to be made tbere and no good businessman worth his salt would pass up the opportunity to make money.

Blame the fans.

the ufc in general will be in state of change. silva, gsp, shogun, and rampage are all close to being out o their prime or already so. i will be surprised if gsp comes back dominate. when you rely on athleticism and then parts stop working it tends to get you k/o'd. gsp will probably hit the trt hard and come back strong but it will not last...andersons' style for me is more of a mastery than being the superior athlete or wrestler. :evil:

I'm pretty sure 90% of the fans don't care to see Edgar/Bendo 2 right now.

by **jjmmajkd** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 2:31 am

i thought Bendo won the damn fight Frankie couldn't hurt him at all, unlike Grey

so that rematch is just because Frankie is bitter

Its a good fight then i don't mind seeing it again if it was day light robbery like Shogun Machida 1 then i don't mind seeing it but anything else unacceptable and they should tie up belts for a year fighting 1 guy thats stupid

by **xcyter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 4:25 am

im also tired of rematches. unless the fight was a draw or a real robbery then it should happen immediatly. other than that it should take at least 2 years.

yes....stop whining

by **themull** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:58 am

I dont mind rematches when the fight's a draw or the decision is actually a crappy one ala Shogun Machida...But when a guy is forced to tap out(chael) or a guy clearly loses his decision (edgar) then a rematch is not warranted just because the loser cried to the media about it...
