UFC's super fight just became their saddest moment

[HanzGruber]

The problem is they throw their best fighters in with the best too early. They don't cultivate or develop stars. Nobody gets built up. In theory it's great for the hardcore fans but in reality people don't build up any anticipation/interest in fighters they haven't seen a lot of.

They need to take a page out of boxings book if they want to grow.

youre kind of right, i mean theres no time to build up most ufc guys, weidman is now 11-0 and has 2 wins over silva AND is american, but who really knows who the *** he is lol

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

He KO'd him in the first fight and in the second fight beat him down and broke his leg lol. The guy deserves full credit

Yea the 1st fight he knocked him out and in that 1st round of the second fight he was hurting him bad but, I think the way he broke his ankle kicking him and not Weidman breaking it him self just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Fans wanted to see if the young man could take out spider once more. It would have helped Weidman and his UFC fan base.

It was a freak accident no one could have foreseen, it happens but yeah it does nothing to legitimize Weidman.

Give me a break. He almost got the TKO in the 1st round, and COMPLETELY nullified Silva's only means of effective striking from their 1st fight.

Imagine if fight after fight you had to go through murderers row for only one belt . Less weight classes dont help like boxing imagine mayweather, broner, maidana , pacquiao , marquez, bradly, provodnikov , rios danny, matthyse and. Thurman all fighting for supremecy it means no time to cherry pick and having to fight the cream of the crop fight after fight

UFC announcers are a joke. The dudes were so disorganized and ill-dressed.

My husband Max K (and his bow-tie) ****s all over those horrible announcers.

What a weird way of passing the baton to a new champion. Weidman must have some sort of "VOODOO" on him. I mean, to unleash two consecutive misfortune to the greatest mma fighter ever. This is some sort of a record.

From superstition point of view, I now call him: Chris "The Bringer of Misfotune" Weidman.

i want to see roy jones vs. ronda rousey. she probably finishes him via tko at thsi point

They were horribly biased for Silva too, almost as bad as australian boxing commentators saying Mundine is HOF for "stopping" Mosley

Watching UFC always gives me a greater appreciation for the sweet science. The production quality of HBO and SHO are notches above anything UFC produces. Also, the announcers at both networks are much more polished and classy imo. I won't even get started with 24/7 or All Access because those are award-winning productions and are unmatched.

I agree and the guy who does MMA introductions was screaming like a drunk lol
