Weekend MMA- 5/31 EliteXC: Primetime, 6/1 WEC: Faber vs Pulver

[Evan]

Gonna have a lot of pissed off affiliates if they don't.

Kimbo fight is going to be quick but I think they another fast one.

I love they way they are introing the guys with a prerecorded segment. Very nice for the new fans.

Interesting... Elite XC is livestreaming the broadcast.

EDIT: Scratch that, it was the undercard and postgame.

[Evan]

45 minutes and only one fight. And that one fight was a fast KO. damn

[Evan]

Audio is awesome. They have every perfectly mic'd. Love the crowd noise.

[Evan]

lol..saved again.

Is that usually a problem on PPVs or normal broadcasts?

Its hard to get a good balance between announcers, fighting and fans.

They might be spacing this out just enough to fit the two hours.

CBS probably spent a decent penny hoping this takes off.

Sucks that I'm not a Nielsen home... ... and I've got this going on my PC.

I know of it, but I'm actually just using Windows Media Center.

[Evan]

I hope the new fan stuck around at the end because the last 2 fights have been great.

I think they've probably won a lot of viewers tonight.

[Pistons < Spurs]

eh'....I've seen maybe 3 or 4 fights all together before tonight, and to be honest, tonights fights just confirmed what I already felt about the sport. I don't get the attraction. It doesn't make any sense to me. I find it boring and uninteresting. But what's worse about tonights spectacle, is the whole WWE feel to it. I'm ready for Vince McMahon to pop out from around the corner at any moment. The dancing girls, the flexing on the podium before the walk to the ring. It's just cheesy.

I doubt it

[Evan]

This...was...awful

[Evan]

Any given small regional MMA event on HDnet Fights is better than that.

[resistanze]

WTF was up with that mother er's ear?

[robino2001]

Gus Johnson yelling "he popped his ear" was awesome though...

Should have been drained...so weird.

I think they did for the younger crowd. The dancing girls, the fast KO's, well that goes for me too, but the girls are more mad out to be strippers. They didnt look like the UFC ring girls, or cheerleaders if you know what I mean. Pretty good show in my book. Although it was cheesy, the fights were good. Some nice KO's, and Kimbo did impress me. I didnt think he would be that good on the ground. He wasnt great, but for a "brawler" in his 3rd MMA fight he was good. I dont have a "big" problem with the stoppage, because he was almost dead on his feat, and that ear was about to get torn off. Robbie and Smith had a very nice 2 and 1/2 rounds, and I would have loved to see more of that.

But again, this fight wasn't for a guy like you (die-hard fan)... this was for the person who knows very little, if anything, about MMA.

Plus, the timing was a little good since you got a mass of new viewers likely tuning in for the late news right before the final fight, so that's more people who wouldn't have viewed who likely got exposure.

, just found out my parents watched the whole thing (stepdad all of it, mom saw last two fights).
