    How can a three round fight top a bill? Evans vs Bisping hardly got into second gear, and now they're flogging BJ Penn at Newcastle over three rounds..where is the value? :huh At least with boxing a decison is over twelve rounds. Altho, I think all world title fights should be fifteen rounds again.

    Title fights are 5 rounds...and rounds ARE 5 minutes a piece, after all.

    Grappling is also more intense (physically) than striking.

    "Grappling is also more intense (physically) than striking."

    Its not! In grappling you can lay and hold and rest... And I agree with the TS that its pretty gay that a 3 round fight (with two TUF's) can be the main fight?

    really it is 4 minute rounds because for one minute they just circle and look at each other

    I'd rather sit through a boring 3 or 5 five minute rounds than go through a boring ass 12 or 15 round fight.

    I ordered the PPV last night and it wasn't half bad; even got the Anderson Silva fight last month. PPV for PPV, UFC is the better bang for the buck unless you're paying to see you're favorite fighter which still doesn't make a pleasing boxing match certain.

    Just because UFC sucks, doesn't mean that you should ridicule the people who like it.

    I was at the bar last night and they had on the UFC matches, I watched some of them in between drinking with some friends, is it just me or does it look like Zelenoff could punch better than most of these guys.

    Go back to the old UFC rules...bring back the Abbotts of the world..it'll make it more exciting. Id rather see intriguing fights than 2 pretend skill guys in the cage who gasses in 2 minutes...and have no skill

    Im getting tired of yelling..kick!..kick him!!! punch ! punch! on TV

    Problem mainly theres about 5 Elite great fighters with charisma and real skills in the whole sport ..in terms of providing exitement and being able to execute what they want in the cage

    BJ
    Fedor
    Anderson Silva
    GSP to an extent
    Couture just for being very charismatic

    the sport cant survive on that

    Are you defending MMA and the UFCs last PPvs? Because I just saw

    UFC 78 ..they should have called it UFC 78 "Disappointment"

    again UFC for example can only sustain 25,000 fans boing for so long...

    and when people smartens up and stop buying...

    they need to change the rules..

    like if you stand and circle each other for 3 minutes and not throw a punch...you dont get paid..

    unless you love that Frankie Edgar who tackles and lay on top for 3 rounds

    you an MMA fan??
