Great night for Freddie Roach!

[Reed Tard]

To be fair he had been under a lot of fire from Dana White to keep the fight standing and not make it five rounds of Lay and Pray.

That might be why he's been training with Roach. Although GSP's first 2 tk were stuffed and he really had no choice but to stand. Even the successful tk later in the fight didn't do much bc Koscheck bounced right back up.

fighters have differant styles in which makes them succesful..entertaining the crowd doesnt =success for that fighter..if they change their style and lose..no 1 will care for them anymore..hell if you lose to much in ufc dana will kick you out

And I agree with you! Im the first person to say that Boxers don't owe anything to the fans, but at the same time people pay to see boxers box and while safety first boxers are very skilled and very ipressive they do little to enhance the popularity of boxing among sports fans.

Im not saying everyone has to be a face first boxer who throws 200 punches a round but at the same time Im not intrested in boxers who "never" want to open up or ever take a chance at all.

And Dana white isn't saying that fighters can't fight how they want. He's just saying that conservative fighters will not fight in the UFC. They are free to fight for other promotions but not in ther UFC where all the Money is.

And yes he kicks people out if they lose to much but if they are in entertaining fights then they keep you around despite your win loss record.
