Very true, but think about it. Tito and Bonnar are both washed up. Everyone knows they are washed up. Yet their Bellator event just pulled better ratings than anything UFC has done all year. It's indicative of the state of where mma is as a sport, and also indicative at how terrible UFC has been at building stars over the last 3-4 years.

It makes me curious to see some historical cable ratings. Bellator pulled a big number for stateside MMA in 2014, but what does that even mean in the grand scheme of things? Business is down.

Dat athleticism.

Actually annoyed that the Van Zant fight is on Fight Pass.

 

[Host Samurai]

Yup MMA is a spectacle, like WWE. Pride always had it right. Actually, I want Brock to sign with Bella now.

I think UFC can get away with 2 small shows and 1 BIG PPV a month. This schedule would keep champions defending the belt more than twice a year which is a fucking joke

OT for Vinnie Edgard Vs. Cab Samson?

I bet it wouldn't even make it to page 2.

 

[op_ivy]

in 2014, this is not a bad card.

a number of decent fights. cub and barboza are some of my favorite guys to watch.

 

[VoxPop]

Yup I'm actually looking forward to this event. Barboza vs Green should be fun. Benavidez vs Ortiz is interesting. Debuts of both DooHo Choi and Van Zant. And you know Cub and Frankie gonna bring it. I see a finish in this fight.

 

[Sato Koiji]

Paquiao fights tonight as well guys!

Hey guys, I train actively at AKA San Jose; just wondering if this topic is for stuff like watching fights, betting on fights, etc. or is there a place for people to talk about day-to-day training and amateur matches and such too?

Sure?
I'm not sure most people train here, I only do Jiu Jitsu but I've been doing it for a couple of years.

Did you have an amateur fight yet? Just doing it for fun or with a look at something more serious?

green and barboza will end quickly i think. hows bobby's chin (i know edson's is suspect)? i'd say green has this, but all this talk of retirement makes me wonder where his heart is.

Oh god let that happen to see fake tough guy CM Punk get destroyed by some journeyman would be the best mma moment since Kimbo lost.

Seeing CM Punk getting 50-43'd by Weidman will be painful to watch.

Renzo vs Sakuraba is today. Had no clue Metamoris was happening. Damn

There's a few people in this thread that have experience training but this thread is primarily used to talk about the sport from a fan pov. The earlier suggestion to check out the Martial Arts thread might be more what you're looking for in discussion of day to day training.

 

[JB1981]

What time do we expect the Edgar-Swanson fight to actually start tonight ?

 

[RBH]

Dat athleticism.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Punk's only a purple belt. I don't see him fighting this soon.

 

[Heel]

Renzo telling his old style raccoon story on Metamoris lol

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Punk's only a purple belt. I don't see him fighting this soon.

Just like Brock I bet he gets punched in the face and turns into a fetus. I don't think you can just learn to take a punch when you are already a grown adult.

 

[Dysun]

source is FRB, aint buying it

 

[Heel]

Haha, Metamoris 5 secret match is Jake Shields vs. Roberto Satoshi.

 

[JB1981]

Who's the favorite in the Edgar fight

Prelims are starting. They are actually good prelims, at least on paper!

Did you just imply Phil Brooks would last 5 rounds in the cage with The Chris?

 

[Spiderjericho]

I missed the hot women fight?

Lol at the exchange between Conner McGregor and WWE Sheamus.

Speaking of WWE, Punk is not an athlete like Brock Lesnar. He would get destroyed by the welter weights and middle weights with their BJJ and real wrestling.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Cub v Edgar is the only fight on the card I give a crap about. Please post when it starts.

Edit: make that Green vs Barboza. That looks like a good one too.

He's finished the majority of his UFC fights inside of 2 rounds. I'm not implying it, I'm saying it.

Ah so you were the guest who popped in and out a few minutes ago

 

[Chamber]

Yes, chat was dead and Bayonetta called out to me.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Green looks like he took the bad parts of Diaz Bros with taunting and arm waving. If it doesn't get in your opponents head early, knock it off and get to work man.

There was a thing tonight? So many of them just fly right past without so much as even a little buzz.
