Big Nog's Broken arm was disgusting, Machida dropping like a dead body after being choked was disgusting. If either of these had happened on Fox, I don't think UFC will hold its contract for long.
Well **** Fox then. MMA is MMA and the UFC do very well. If Fox want some of that money they can have it. McClellan and Watson got ****ed up on ITV but that never stopped them showing boxing.
What have you got against noobs? are you trying to tell me that those sort of endings appeal to the mainstream which UFC is trying to become.
I only have things against ill informed "noobs" who have been watching the sport 10 mins talking pish. The Machida being dropped incident was a non event. People get dropped like that all the time from punches and slammed way harder into the mat by takedowns or slams. Nogs arm being broken wasn't nice but it wasn't disgusting, it would show people the dangers of not tapping.
It'sa bout educating the mainstream rather than changing the product. No one ever got brain damage/killed from a broken arm.
The only thing disgusting was that Mir did not use this opportunity to flip off Big Nog and the UFC fans. :-(
do you think the mainstream fans want to see pin point striking and effective grappling? NO. they want to see blood, guts, broken arms and excitement.
