UFC's super fight just became their saddest moment

[Redd Foxx]

I'm plenty educated I asure you.All I know that I get the fights that I wanna see.But I'm just a fan of the sport and not on a holly mission like you guys who never made a mistake in you're life.Us regular folk are scum but when we make a mistake we apologize and learn for our mistakes and move on just like DW did.You didn't....

WTF are you talking about?? I honestly have no clue how that relates to what I said. As far as my stance, I just want the best sport possible for the fighters and for the fans. I will never let my feelings as a fan get in the way of the truth. That's the problem with sites like this, they become platforms for extreme fanaticism. People willing to engage in an honest, objective discussions are put off by the apologists and self-appointed propagandists. You can like the UFC without having to declare everything they do is perfection. Same thing applies to Mayweather, Pac, etc.

Their bigger problem is that their two biggest stars (GSP and Silva) are both gone. They still have Jon Jones but they have to get Cain Velasquez in that mexican market ASAP. If he can adhere himself to the mexican fanbase they will be allllrighttt.

I'm an MMA fan too and I can't help but feel that MMA fans have this coming.

All the years when they kept saying that Boxing would die the moment the established stars at the time retire like Jermaine Taylor, Ricky Hatton, Calzaghe, Lewis, Mosley, De La Hoya etc. etc. And yet they still develop new stars every generation and Boxing is still alive as always.

Now the roles have turned since GSP, Silva and Brock may or may not be gone. It's MMA's turn to prove that they can produce new stars to carry on as the old guard passes the torch.

Comparing MMA to Boxing is like comparing Hockey to Football... they're both combat sports, but that's where it ends. MMA's big sell is their matchmaking, but they don't build up their fighters like Boxing does. There's no mystique.. or added intrigue to MMA fighters. I'm an MMA fan, but I don't get emotionally invested in their fighters. In Boxing, a loss means so much more... every fight means something. I just don't get that from MMA.

if boxing had ufc matchmaking, we would be seeing pacquiao vs mayweather 3 by now

GSP vs Silva happened? Hmm.

True, but he's not selling. His last PPV had a ton of hype but sold under 350k. His only hit PPV was carried by Brock Lesnar.

that fight was dumb anyway. the size difference is so massive. no chance. at least in the ufc the people in the same division always fight each other unlike boxing Martinez-golovking, Floyd-pac, Stevenson-kovalev. SMART-WORK DEDICATION

That's an excuse, everyone wanted that fight.
