UFC have serious Competition!!

Excellent Card tonight. Fedor is the sacred cow of MMA now that he is getting unbelievable exposure. His Legend grows. It was worth the money just having Fedor in the Main event, its a spectacle.

Vitor Belfort looked amazing tonight at 185, he looked and fought like a completely different man. A possible foil for UFCs A. Silva (who may decide to jump ship when his contract ends this year)

I enjoyed the production value, the extended post fight interviews. They werent rushing the show at all. Tito, much respect, he did a good job.

Theres money money and lots of money. The Donald, Trump. Atencio is the opposite of Dana White, very professional.

I like the ring, from an audience perspective its great. Fighters might think otherwise

They have some fighters, Barnett, Babalu is looking great. If they can somehow get a couple of fighters like a Cung Le or an Aoki, watch out.

 

For a first I think he did well, it also helps that he fought some of the guys he interviewed, there was underlying respect there. He wasnt also shy of criticizing a guy like Sokodjuo about his heart.

They also were much more professional by having the patience interviewing non english speakers. They didnt rush the post fight fighter interviews, Barnett had time to chat with Tito.

I love the locker room with Zito and all. It brings more entertainment to the show. Just the right amount, not overboard. I mean with the UFC, after the main event,its goodnight. Here they have about 30 minutes of interviewing Fedor, showing him taking pictures.

It was the best show of any UFC competition in the US by far. Pride US and Elite isnt the same level. This was very professional I thought and the crowd was really into it. The Belfort KO for example they had 4 different camera angles for the KO and they followed the issue up into the locker room during the Barnett fight.

Compared to what the UFC offered in their Henderson/Franklin main event..This was miles miles better. Its actually embarassing how Dana has taken so many for a ride.

 

This is where they will make a dent on Zuffa an co. In the pre fight press conference. GBP (DLH) already stressed this as a major issue (sideswiping UFC) why they feel they can compete well. By putting the fighters first. BAsically hes saying, more money for fighters. This shouldnt be a problem, With Trump and GBP being co promoters along with M1

 

If A. Silva for example jumps and guys like Cung and Lawler follows suit. They will cause very big problems for the UFC.

The UFC cannot keep on giving us a Franklin/Henderson main events. They only manage to get away with it because theyre the only game in town. Now with Fedor being this mythical figure..they would be forced to ante up. But with what?? Without Gsp vs Penn/Alves, what do they have?? Jardine vs. Rampage?? as main event?? lol

I was just thinking about Rashad vs. Forrest, it was good but now way I take that over Fedor as a main event for the same $45.

And Dana needs to stops cussing all the time on TV. This guy is so unprofessional, the Fertitas are going to have to call him to a meeting soon.

Think also of the guys unhappy with Dana and the UFC. We know BJs not happy. Silvas gone after this year. Nog, Wandy, Chuck and Randy are done. Be happy hes still got Lesnar, pray that Mir doesnt beat him

 

I was wondering, WTF is this!! I agree he shouldnt be there.

As for Tito, this guy is alot more humble than Rogan when he comments, he seriously supports the fighters because hes one. He certainly dresses the part. Its a professional org, theyre trying to portray it that way because the UFC is not, its Dana. With GBP, The Donald and some Russian KGBs there, they better be serious

 

Affliction with Trump and GBP makes the Fertitas look silly when moneys concerned
