There were a couple of fights (if you count prelims) last night where it felt like there was a clear winner going into round 3, and the guy losing needed to come out a lot more aggressive. I think Silva would have pulled a come from behind win in his fight if he was more aggressive in the third round - but I cant fault Silva too much considering he showed up on 2 days notice
Got my ticket for Survivor Series!
cool
I stopped watching UFC on the regular about a decade ago. The culture that has formed around it is worse than wrestling, it's extremely offputting to me. Tons of extremely bro-tastic fans, and the UFC it's self now has that sleezy feel that boxing always gave me.
I'll tune in for a big fight maybe once a year now.
Everything around pro wrestling is often terrible too but in a different way. Also it's been carny since it's inception.

haven't heard a "this is awesome" chant yet so how bad could they be?
Hahahahhaah
So Brock beat a top 10 heavyweight. How long until he ditches WWE and goes UFC full time again?
THIS IS FIGHTING
*clap clap clapclapclap*

Light hearted chants don't make me want to pull my hair out like some here. That particular chant is most definitely beyond lame though at this point.

The crowd is rarely noticeable in any way beyond cheers or boos in MMA
When his contract runs out, I believe after Mania next year.
*wets pants*lol what are you, a pussy bro? too afraid to fight bro? 2 real 4 u bro?
Well it's a fucking shoot sport so yeah.
In fake athletics the fans want to be a part of the perfomance at times.
CZW represents about 2 percent of current wrestling. It is it's own isolated niche and it serves it's purpose to keep all of that crazy shit in one spot.I mean, UFC fans can be trashy but I don't want to ignore it because of them, I love UFC
You could also ignore wrestling because of CZW you know...

Probably did this in front of 20 fans for about 30 bucks
Pokemon Go just makes me thirsty for the next real Pokemon game. I don't really feel like walking around town going to weird locations like a creeper because I'm searching for a goddamn Paras
If Brock really wanted to and I think he does, he could tell Vince to get bent and go straight back to the UFC now that he's coming off his big win.
WTF
Bad mix of typical Irish male drunkenness and inability deal with females beyond "i sex her" and gym bro protein shake gear culture. It's the fucking apocalypse and reason I have never been to a UFC viewing in Ireland since.

this version of the wrasslin crowds are shit tier argument is especially hilarious given that UFC fans just booed out a guy taking a fight on half his pay at 2 days notice to try not to screw up the card
and after the rev pro crowd last night, you have me at the most on your side i've ever been, and you couldn't even muster a decent argument to sway me
True only because UFC is so widely popular now among most people, but the dude bros still make up a large percentage.
I have one major issue with the Cruiserweight Classic.
I don't know who to root for.
Seriously.....32 people and there is a damn good field of contenders.
I kinda want to root for Zack Sabre Jr. all the way, but then their is Kota Ibushi and Johnny Gargano, and Rich Swann, and The Brian Kendrick and TJ Perkins and other guys I haven't heard of or have heard of but never seen before that seem like potential contenders.
Seriously...who do you root for?

I do a lot of walking in general so....well. My curiosity is too high.
I bet the hood has some dope Pokemon.
Yeah I was thinking this same thing while watching the bracketology special. But that is what will probably make it so good. They are making us invested in these competitors.
But look at Vince. He's a walking steroid and he's perfectly healthy...and verile...oh yes...THE GENETIC JACKHAMMER
Vince doesn't have to take pain meds because he's not out there taking bumps.
He also doesn't believe in sleep. So no uppers or downers.
His diet is also impeccable. Absolutely zero bullshit except for cheat day.
Exactly. Going into Bracketology, I only wanted to root for two people. Now I have a long list.
If there was an Irish guy in it I'd cheer him but beyond that every match is going to be so heartbreaking
Actual emotional investment....it's...it's just like the Bayley storyline last year....
Oh dear, what happened? You should come over to OTT sometime, we've got a pretty great balance between smarks, casual fans and keepin it kayfabe.
My version of Vince snorts 15 lines a day.
Also all those guys who died were just taking drugs the wrong way. Clearly.
That unnecessarily hard fucking ring mat didn't help workers either. Watching guys take hard bumps on that shit still makes me wince when I watch old stuff,
Or you could go full Bill Watts and leave the concrete floors exposed on the outside because MATS ARE FOR PUSSIES.
It won't be anywhere near as good.

I keep hearing wonderful things, I need to check them out
they did this https://twitter.com/MooseNation69/status/752265088405569537
Roids and Hate, man. Roids and Hate (of the fans)
Honestly, that was the fight of the night. Aldo did an amazing job. When he countered Edgar's kick with a jumping punch... that was beautiful.

I wouldn't, because we know the entire first round finishes already

I can't understand that sailboat talk
Oh, yeah, people here in Brazil like to yell a bunch of non-sense. We are basically a CZW crowd, but for every sport ever.
I got to admit though, I find "Uh vai morrer" funny, as it is basically "[wrestler's name] is gonna kill you."
