Brandon Vera hype

Shogun is not shot to ****.

 

A free-to-air card with four fights and a title shot on the line.

Every fight ended in a definitive stoppage.

None of them was a bad fight, and they ranged from merely a good scrap to a FOTY candidate.

A former champion with a unique style gets right back on track and earns a title shot by turning in one of the best performances of his career.

A career underachiever and huge underdog shows real heart and guts and overperforms in a back-and-forth war against a legend, who also shows heart by getting a KO win while exhausted.

And, surprise surprise, scurla has nothing positive to say about any of it. The only comment he has to make is a thread shitting on the guy who surprised everyone by putting in a much-better-than-expected performance. :-(

Yes, yes, you have nothing to say beyond your usual bitching and hating. So you'll just tell everyone how you're the expert, and insult and patronize whoever dares to challenge your biases.

Make sure that you don't accidentally say anything positive or constructive about anything in post-2005 MMA, scurla. :-( Just zero in on someone to hate, whether it's a fighter or an organization or an internet poster, and talk **** on them like your opinion matters to anybody. :good

I am one that most of the time ***** about the UFC cards. Felt last night was a goodnight for the UFC. Now like always...Ya have the UFC Tards calling this one of the best cards ever..blah..blah... Very good crad...fun to watch...and can pull in new fans with the actions.

 

That's one thing I thought afterwards, we had some good fights all-round but the casuals who just tuned in because it was on Fox got see the technical brilliance of Lyoto Machida (maybe they'll now realise that it isn't just a vicious deathsport) but also got to see a good ol' scrap for the main event.

 

And in Lauzon/Varner, an extremely exciting, high-paced, back and forth war fought in good spirit between two nice guys with heaps of respect for each other. :good

I didn't get to see that one, might look it up later because it sounds good

 

Sooooooo..................... anything to say about the card that isn't hating on somebody or complaining about how shot Shogun is?

No?

Didn't think so. :thumbsup

Hey, while you're here. Are you even supposed to watch MMA, being a Witness and all? I know you're not supposed to participate in organized sports or train in combat sports, but does that extend to supporting blood sports? Honest question, I don't know so I thought I'd ask, rather than Wiki it. :conf

Fight of the Night on a very entertaining card. Probably not the Fight of the Year, but if it were two higher-profile guys then it would be in the discussion. :good
