I think they would’ve been fine if not for the injuries. But all it does is mean that the spring should be really good for the company.

agree 100% GG, Personally I don’t mind that their churning out event after event, month after month, im a huge mma fan so it’s nothing short of fantastic for me, the thing that does bug me though, is when we get like 2 or 3 big UFC shows in a row and none deliver…we’ve been short of some BIG match-ups since summertime, if your gonna throw it out there this much, at least have some decent headliners…Ortiz/Griffin II showed us what a lackluster main event can do to a show, hopefullt the injuries that have played a MAJOR factor in all of this will calm down, karma will swing our way and we’ll get some BIG contender matches and some BIG title matches, fingers crossed GG!!

Hey,

Good looking out on that article.

The article is fine in basis, but is very flawed.

To say that they aren’t following boxing is true, but to not state that the reason boxing is promoting their PPV like that this year because 2008 was lacking shows that the author isn’t really truly following boxing or that he just decided to leave that information out.

Also, had all the UFC main events come through, the numbers would’ve been a lot different. Lesnar getting hurt changes UFC 106 from 1 million plus buys to 500k buys or whatever they’ll do for that show.

Lastly, another reason that boxing scales back on the big PPVs is because there aren’t enough stars to sell the shows so that the promoter can make money from them. If they could increase their business by doing 12 big shows a month, they’d do it. But they can’t. That’s the reason they don’t.

The UFC is definitely oversaturating the landscape, but Strikeforce is going to kill us next year because their schedule will be close to similar.

We’ll see if the UFC can continue to show so much product. Following Vince McMahon’s business plan is probably better for them. Look at WWE. They have been able to sustain for a very long time.

Hamill vs Jones is gonna be interesting, really, really like thie look of Jones, deffinatley is someone to watch, loved his overhook suplex of death he gave to Bonnar!!!

Just read a great little article about the UFC copying ‘Blue Magic’ from American Gangster, if you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know what I mean, especially with all of the injuries/pushbacks for most of their top fighters/champs… I think you guys will enjoy it

if anything, I think the UFC are gonna be ‘forced’ to put on some sort of ’superfights’ soon, Give me GSP/Silva sometime mid-2010 and i’ll be a happy chappy!!

I think we’ll see some interesting match making coming up, only because they’re losing so many big fights and need to make some new matches.

We might see some interesting battles like the one this weekend with Matt Hamill and Jon Jones.

Yeah, I can see us getting 1 more ‘old timers’ match-up between Randy/Coleman vs Tito, would much rather see Randy smashing Tito’s face in 1 more time than a Coleman match-up…

Really interested in seeing Lil Nog’ vs Griffin, UFC should make that match happen, its abit of a dream match of mine so im more biased than anything else!!

Thanks for reading Shielsy!

I really do wonder who they’ll put the four light heavies with next. I wonder if Tito goes back to Coleman/Couture for his next fight, since the original comeback was supposed to be Coleman.

Good show, nothing spectacular, but like GG said, we havent seen any of that from the UFC since the summer.

Best fight was Lil Nog vs Cain, for the same reason Cactus loved it, Lil Nog is here, and here to stay!! He completley dominated Cain, who is underrated to start with, and then put him to sleep with a great punch..

Worst fight was a draw in my eyes, between Tito/Griffin and Koscheck/Johnson, I was way more dissapointed in Kos/Johnson because I was expecting alot from that fight, we got a few good seconds of action splattered here and there, but for the most part, it was a MAJOR let-down, Ortiz/Griffin was just slow and sloppy, with Griffin just looking the better of the 2…

FUCK NO to a Ortiz/Griffin rubber match, Ive got an even better idea, winners and losers square off, of course thats without any medical suspensions (Griffins Foot and erm….Tito’s….Head??), but I’d go with…

- Griffin vs Lil Nog
- Tito vs Cain

Great reviews guys!!
