It doesnt have the electricity of a boxing ppv. I really try to like this sport and cant. I appreciate Silvas expertise and thats why I bought this because I like seeing the best dod what they do but I wasted $55 bucks. How do guys feel when you buy these ppv's?
there you go, proving me right that youre a noob. You watch strikeforce to see bums knocked out. I watch the UFC to see the best fight the best in even fights.
Khan v Maidana was a great fight and so was Sonnen v Silva.
But there wasnt many exciting fights in boxing this year..
I lost interest in MMA. I tried to like it but a bad MMA fight is like watching Wlad vs. Ibragamov on loop for a year straight.
Bottom line is the best boxing fights > the best MMA fights and the worst boxing fights > the worst MMA fights
I've stopped caring about MMA. It's too unpredictable to even follow.

The only one I bought was the one with James Toney. :)
Biggest waste of money since DLH-Pacquiao
What does that have to do with anything, your missing the point.
the point that he was making is the Elite UFC fighter dosent make anything compared to elite athletes of other sports.
Mayweather 20mil+
Lebron 20mil+
Payton Manning 20mil+
Tiger Woods 20mil+
Serena Williams 20mil+
Lance Armstrong 20mil+
no MMA fighters are even making 10mil
How could they make that much given how the UFC runs their promotion? Its apples to oranges. Boxers are basically separate entities, they negotiate fight to fight with their promoter and try and get the highest bidder. They then in turn build an entire event around that main fight. The UFC has 250 fighters on a contract and they make fights happen.
Money corrupts sports all the time. I pray MMA guys never get the kind of money that boxers get. The day that happens is the day MMA turns to ****. The sport is still relatively pure. Look at baseball and the strike.
Also to get things straight if anyone here actually believes that Anderson Silva is only making $250,000 a fight then I have a bridge to sell you. The fact is the top UFC guys negotiate contracts so they get a cut of PPV %. They get vast majority of their money in the back end. Randy Couture's contract was release on the internet a few years ago and it showed in detailed an example of how a top guy makes his money in the UFC. Randy Couture made over a million dollars a fight back in 2007 after coming out of retirement. He was reported to make $250,000 a fight
Brock Lensar is not making $400,000 a fight. Hes making at least 2 million, Guarantee you. I don't know what Silva makes but it sure the hell isn't $250,000. Yes Silva doesn't make anywhere near what Mayweather makes but Silva is also a millionaire. I guarantee you he makes around a million a fight. If he didn't he wouldn't be in the UFC.
your calling me a noob,haha well you can say wutever u want but ur the noob moron if you don't know that fighting is all about entertainment and atleast the fights on strikeforce are exciting! Your an idiot lol cuz what everyone really wants to see is great exchanges and ko's,but not rolling around on the ground fondling each other like queers! :)!
There's no comparison IMHO :P

Should have just went to a bar like I did, $5 cover on fight nights, and shared a few pitchers with some friends
I don't regret it
wrd up me too...I usually hit up Scorecard in Wind Gap
Boxing fanboys and MMA fanboys are just like xbox fanboys and PS3 fanboys. Completely retarded.
If you can't enjoy both sports that's fine, but why bother discrediting the other sport? No one cares about your opinion. I don't. While I sit down and enjoy my UFC PPV or a Boxing PPV you fan boys will be trolling on the internet or watching on a stream then after the show insulting the sport as a whole. It's pathetic.
If you regret it, then go figure, that happens in nearly every other sport, don't order any more shows. Don't watch the sport or stick to streams. That simple.
Discrediting the sport makes all of you look like women. Gossiping isn't cool ladies.

Khan vs Maidana and Marquez vs Lopez were both so much better than any ufc fights i've seen lol and i watch ALL the fights!
The only fight that really has some staying power lately in terms of greatness in ufc is Sonnen/Silva!
Get over it you UFC smoocher ,ufc rarely has great fights for putting on so many cards lol it's just a FACT!
When Boxing is Good it's Great,and when it's Great it's the Greatest!
When UFC is Good it's Mediocre and when it's Great it's still 2nd Best!
There's no comparison IMHO :P
Boxing is the greatest form of entertainment ever.
Corrales vs. Castillo
Gatti vs. Ward
Ali vs. Frazier
Hagler vs. Hearns
Chavez vs. Taylor
Eubank vs. Benn
The ufc has never had a fight remotely close to the excitement and suspense these fights produced.
lol at this noob, saying strikeforce is better because they match ok fighters against bums.
4/5 of the UFC fights on this card were good, two were great.
UFC is more exciting than boxing and we all know it deep down, Alexander v Bradley was awful. Jones v Bader was the same as that fight in the MMA world, but this fight didnt dissapoint.
Khan, Mayweather, Pacman, Klitchscko's, Cotto, Marquez, Froch and Haye are the only popular fighters left in boxing.
The UFC puts on great shows every month, and the best fight the best.

oh yeah, what barnburner that was :ugh:
UFC=Ultimate ****ing Crap!
Another wasted ppv buy,all the fights sucked! Everytime i waste my money on this crap i curse myself after! :(
STRIKEFORCE is so much better!
Guess i really am a sucker for punishment lol :)

It's quite ironic, people used to love Tyson, and pay for his shows expecting to get a KO in the first round and yet, when Silva does it, that fight sucks and his moves don't work lol
Jones is just athletic thats about it. these guys are too busy trying to land unrealistic moves instead of just fighting. It's almost like breakdance fighting from Zoolander. Yet you have all these white dudes that can't dance. At least find the white boys that can move.
There are white boys who can move. Cowboy Corrone is one of them, Badder is a badass too. They can move.
The real problem is, people are used to boxing, a sport where matchups are very much controlled and not really an highly competitive sport. IF someone is hot in MMA they match them up against the other fighter who's also hot, you see? In boxing they match the raising fighters against a string of bums and then 30+ year old veterans until he reaches some ATG status. That's the difference. I prefer real sports even if the champion is not my favorite color, i judge them by their skills. I love GSP and he's a white dominant guy who's very good (see another one who can dance)
I like watching Jon Jones do work, People dont know how crazy Bader really is. But as for the overall PPV set up. The UFC puts their best fighters in with the best so early. Which is why most of these guys possess so many losses. I think you do get your moneys worth no doubt. Thier undercards can be very interesting. BUT nothing compares to a boxing mega fight.
ARE YOU NUTS?! That card had 8 former champions IN IT"!!!!! Some of them didn't even make the TV card and went straight to Facebook. If you hate MMA you are really missing out. It's like not loving boxing when Ali faced Frazier and Foreman or when Tyson was knocking people out on free TV.
That MMA card was worth EVERY CENT.
When was the last time boxing put on a card with 8 former champions on the card?
If Anderson tried to kick a slick black fighter, he would lose. Notice that Anderson had never fought a slick black fighter in the UFC yet. Just run of the mill white people, so their market could relate.
When are people going to realize that the only time UFC is exciting, is when they are trying to imitate our sport?
This is very true lol this was the first full ufc event i ever watched and it was boring as ****. I probably will never watch ufc again even if it is on free tv i just simply dont care for it.
That Bader clown had literally no skills once so ever. So it was worth $60 to see Silva kick Beltfort in the face? I watched it for free this morning and it cost me nothing. I had the choice to not even watch the rest of the card. Silva's kick was fvcken crazy **** but not worth me spending my money on.

I share the same sentiments here. It's my first and last to spend money for this. I usually rely on the undercards to make it worth the money, and in case the main event would be short just like when it comes to watching boxing -- savor everything including flag ceremonies and all. They sucked to high heavens, although they all went to the distance. Boxing is definitely better, especially when it involves stars. Oh well, good to learn some lessons early.
