    I can see showing the ring walk for the main event. But the UFC shows the octagon walk for every single fight. That's a bit much for me.

    Funny you didn't mention a thing about Brock Lesnar's chances in an actual boxing ring seeing as how this is a boxing site. :lol:

    Once again, UFC rips on boxing to try to make itself feel better. Dana's alienating more fans than he's gaining by being a whiny little ***** nonstop. Maybe if he didn't base half his marketing plan on bashing boxing and the other half on using pro wrestling tactics, people would overlook that he's an all around dick anyways.

    Yeah he's going to give them a chair shot then land the F5. Then he'll tag in his partner for a double closeline.

    Although it maybe a tough pill to swallow being that it's coming from the king of the MMA world, what White said was 100% true. HBO ppv production was crap and it was plain to see. The under card was full of mismatches despite what the records of the fighters were. The multiple early ko's caused excessive commentator analyst for the main event which quickly became redundant. The pacing of the fighters walk to the ring was also a bit long dragged out for me. (Though I wouldn't have minded it if Pac flew to the ring on a flying carpet like Hamed did. That was hot.) These promoters have got to do a better job of putting together an entertaining card throughout the entire evening if they are to continue to expect people to pay the ridiculous ppv prices.

    UFC is promoted very well, but there is noting wrong with DLH - Pac, as the numbers will show. Mismatches on undercards are never good though.

    Yeah there's no doubt that UFC is promoted far better than boxing. I think most people still like a good boxing fight better than a good UFC fight but good boxing fights that are affordable and well publicized are far and few between. I wish boxing was regulated similar to a sport like tennis so the best fighters are forced to fight one another in tournament like fashion.

    My point is that all these ***s keep slagging off MMA when all of their favourite fighter's would get tooled by the best MMA fighter's in their weight divisisions.

    Do you think Brock Lesnar gives a **** about boxing rules when it hit's the streets?

    Brock would wreck Wlad and Vital in a staright up street fight.

    No BS, no rules, just straight up fighting.

    If you are a boxer or a boxing fan and you don't pay MMA fighter's any respect you're ****ing idiot and need to wake up!

    If you think MMA is gay then go down to an MMA gym and tell the figher's they are gay and MMA sucks to their faces. :!:

    The thing is the best part of the UFC is the standup which is what boxing is all the time. There is no question that a boxer is at a disadvantage if he gets taken down. MMA standup skills are **** poor compared to the average boxers hands and standup is where the entertainment is at.

    I don't think MMA's gay, I think Dana White's a buttdumpling of the highest caliber and listening to that bobblehead talk damn near eliminates any interest I still have in the sport. If ever a fellow was drunk with power and semen, it's him.

    Joe Rogan can eat a dick, too. He's probably busy right now trying to decide which button down shirt he can find that's 2 sizes too small to wear so he can pretend to look like a real "ripped" fighter, too. He's the ****ing UFC version of Pinnochio- "Look Dana; I'm a real man!". I can't be the only person who'd love to see Lesnar take them both out.

    Muay Thai is were it's at.

    Anderson Slva woulld kill boxing's finest in a stand up fight.

    He does'nt need to take the fight to the ground.

    In fact BJ Penn, GSP, Silva, Machida would all kill boxings finest in a stand up fight.

    Boxers are far too one dimensional and Muay Thai is the most vicious stand up fighting martial art in the world.

    That's coming from him and their biggest event of the year was a former WWE superstar Brock Lesnar fighting a 69 year old Randy Couture, oh and the WWE superstar won in a TOUGH battle with the 69 year old. :lol:

    Not surprised with this ******.
