Will Zuffa just get on with it and stop the public humiliation?
Sad to see this now...especially just about a year ago they were putting on some decent fights. Far more interesting and exciting than the UFC at times but its just a shambles now.
Hardly anyone in the crowd, hardly any press there covering it. Production was a total shambles. Exodus to the UFC ongoing...everyday its someone new. Heard last night its Cung Le vs Vitor Belfort next :o
Comical how the HW Grand Prix has ended up. I mean fair play to the two finalists buts its a complete joke its taken this long then you have Overeem upping sticks to go fight Lesnar and the other big guns....he was offered a title shot but wanted a quick fight first so took Lesnar :o
Maximo Blanco fighting and not knowing the rules with kicks to the head.
Middleweight division a joke that a guy is now the champion simply because he's been injured so long and avoided all the build up / title contender fights vs Shields, Mayhem etc etc
Its just a joke now and mockery to the other top fighters still there like King Mo, Feijao and Barnett. Also wtf is happening to Mousasi or is he going to puss y out of the UFC?

i thought i was the only one who noticed the significant drop in production, the atmosphere in the crowd seemed non existant, possibly due to karitonov and cormier being relatively unknown among casual fans, the mismatch between king mo and roger gracie was laughable, gracie proved he cant compete in mma at a very high level, he'd be better suited going back to heavyweight imo.
the cung le, belfort fight really surprised me as cung le hasnt fought for ages, and is relatively inexperienced compared to belfort. also he is getting pretty old, while belfort is still in his prime, both have suspect chins tho imo so i guess anything can happen but you have to really favour belfort in this one his boxing should prove way to much for cung.
the whole gp is turning out to be a bit of an anticlimax too.
the blanco fight looked another mismatch to me healy looked significantly bigger, blanco should drop a weight class asap imo, his striking looked great but as soon as the wrestler got hold of him he didnt stand a chance.
mw was once there strongest division, and now look at it, jacare gased horribly and for such a great grappler seemed to have a hard time keeping rockhold down.
surely next year ufc will dissolve strikeforce as we know it and intergrate all the champions and elite fighters into the ufc, i think strikeforce will be turned into a platform in which succesfull fighters move into the ufc from it.
i think mousassi is thinking of boxing in the olympics, god knows why... he's an elite striker but his style leaves him susceptible to wrestlers, i think he has/or had a deal with M1 so a deal with the ufc seems unlikely in the near future
