The issue I have with Samsung getting a premium is the same issue I have with Hyundai starting to ask for a premium. Yes, they've come a long way in two decades. Yes, the big Japanese manufacturers have stumbled (Samsung : Hyundai :: Sony : Toyota), but the big Korean manufacturers haven't come all the way to where the Japanese were when it was all crappy American stuff or over-priced European stuff. There are too many average competitors to just hand them a victory just because they presumed it was their turn, especially when you can see all the corners they cut by just looking at the thing for more than 5 minutes.

The issue I have with Samsung is that they're a crooked, ethically-vacuous monopoly.

But their support in repairing my old 32" HDTV was second-to-none!

Anyone get the feeling we're due for an injury, pullout, or Strikeforce to be canned? It's like my mental clock is going off for something to fuck up with UFC right on cue.

Also, lets pool our money and get the MMA OT on a banner for Bellator 78:

I bet like $50 would do it.

And yeah, Chael vs Jones in a TUF setting will be great.

It looks like the UFC has effectively staved off Jon's destruction of the LHW division with a new pretender and kept TUF on life support.

There will actually be a log jam of guys wanting title shots by the time he fights again. Gus/Shogun, Machida/Hendo.

Awful.

They did say that they'd move TUF back to Wednesday if the ratings sucked this season....did they not?

Keep feeding him the same victims over and over, keep him champ and keep him away from hendo/glover.

Jon Fitch:

"I think that's what we're coming to see kind of, or least that's what I'm coming to accept, is that title shots and the belt holder, a lot of times it's more of a popularity contest than a sport, and I think we have things like with 151 and Jon Jones and that type of situation happening, because if we had more criteria and it was more sport based than popularity based, or ticket sales based, then you would have kind of a ranking system and a pecking order and you would know exactly who the replacement is."

Too bad he wouldn't win based on performance or popularity.

While Bones is on the shelf going TUF and eventially legit murdering Chael, the UFC should do a LHW Grand Prix to determine a true no. 1 contender. Glover, Rampage, Machida, Hendo, Gus, Cormier, Shogun and Phil Davis in a tournament. The kicker? Do it all in the same night, like the old Ultimates.

Yeah I figured the silver-ling of this TUF-ransomed title fight is that it gives 205 a chance to create a contender. That is if the fighters don't turn down fights with eachother like they been the past few months.

he's absolutely right tho..its all a farce as far as rankings go.

Dana can spin it anyway he wants..

Everyone in the UFC should look at Chael and go...why aren't I doing what he's doing. Winning won't bet me there.

I want to see Cormier join the fold once he's no longer held hostage by Strikeforce.

It's Strikeforce-level title-shot awarding.

You've actually -watched- the last 6 or so seasons?

TUF USA has been boring as fuck, and has been for a while now.

The AUS/UK one they've got going on right now is pretty decent.

Yep. I started watching with season 5 and haven't missed a season since....well other than the Brazil. If nothing else the fights without commentary are good practice for judging.

But I really can't stand either of these guys at all. Jones in particular makes my skin crawl.

For his part, Jones said he would be willing to coach on an upcoming season of TUF. But only against the "right opponent," and apparently, Cormier isn't that opponent.

"As far as Daniel Cormier saying he wants to coach against me, he would want that wouldn't he?" Jones mused to ESPN UK.

"He's relatively unknown. I want to do it when the fans are aware of both guys, and when it's spunky and when it raises a lot of viewers. I'm not here to raise his stock."

I think thats a disservice to Strikeforce.. Strikeforce was always honest that they were putting on the best matches for the stable of fighters they had..they never pretended that you have to be the number 2 guy for a title shot

We already agreed long ago that this is Sports Entertainment and that's how title shots are not based on merit.
