Holy . WOWWWWWWWWWWW.
God DAMN!
Heavy ing hands
That was a piss poor event.
W...t...f..
ohhhh TT CIGANO
wtf was Cain doing just standing in the pocket not even throwing?
that is MMA, I have much respect for Cain but long layoff from major shoulder injury for fighter with wrestling bg too much to overcome.
Card was great, but yeah that didn't live up to what it could have been. One shot. Good lord.
Cain will be back
Wow, one minute Cain is champion next minute my boy Ciganoo takes his belt, the UFC is crazy wow
Right in temple perfect spot. Huge Cain fan I'm disappointed but I'm happy for junior
I kinda wish the fight was longer, I waited so long for this fight... well I'm happy JDS won
lol Brock is happy Cain lost
as long as he isn't fighting Pacman...
Really surprised at how awful the presentation was, how rushed it felt and the filler that took up 55 minutes of TV time. I feel like the mainstream gloss didn't bring in mainsteam fans like intended, but we'll see. I hope Dana has some more control in the future, or at least doesn't model the PPV after Ufc on Fox - that would ing suck.
So obvious that Cain is still having some kind of shoulder issue, there's no other excuse for why he actually tried to exchange with Junior and looked so tentative. Perfect shot to the ear, surprised he didn't pancake into unconsciousness. It was good to see Junior's speech after tho, emotional stuff and I hope he fights Overeem next.
Ben Henderson woooooooooo!!!
Ya Cain didn't look right, I feel sorry for whoever gets him next. I don't see anyone beating junior for a while.
I dont think you can make injury excuse for getting caught like that.. obviously Cain probly was rusty.. but surely in sparring training they were emphasising dont stay in the pocket.. get in throw your combination an then get out and look for a takedown.
Cain was standing about a foot in front of JDS all squared up... Junior threw a simply overhand right and Cain was easily in range.
Cain will be back.. maybe put him in against Carwin.. the winner of that fights against the loser of Lesnar and Reem.
My thoughts on tonight's abortion that was, "The UFC on FOX":
From the second the show went on the air, it was doomed. "This might be the most exciting... blah, blah, blah... Viewer discretion is advised.". Are you ting me? How gay was that? Next thing we get to see is some high school graphics class' mish-mash of what events FOX sports covers; who gives a flying about the Daytona 500, PAC 10 championship, etc. What next? I'll be ing damned if the intro music for The NFL on FOX didn't start up. You're telling me that the UFC, with its millions and millions of dollars, couldn't figure out some new/exciting intro music? It's almost like they forgot all about it until this morning and were like, " , we need music for this thing? Hurry, grab the first thing laying on the pile!". Did anyone else notice the pure lack of substance with the whole intro, the monotone announcer trying SO hard to make it sound like a suspense/horror movie trailer, and the unenthusiastic announcer attempting to hype up the fight for the night? I was beside myself with how piss-poorly the first 20 minutes of the whole show was done.
The thing to remember is that the UFC and FOX were trying to grab the viewership of NEW fans, people who haven't given it a shot, and/or people who think it sucks -- i.e. LakaLuva, and the rest of the dirty fence jumping Mexicant's like him. So why, oh WHY, would you put BROCK ING LESNER in the broadcast booth? So the haters of the world and the mid-interest guys could say, "Holy , isn't that the WWF guy? What kind of fake ass horse is this?" Not to mention the assertions that Brock was going to get to face the champion again -- after one fight. (that he's going to get his ass kicked in) I just can't ing believe what a train wreck this whole thing was. Un- ing-believable.
FINALLY, they put Rogan and Goldy on, and no , things got back on track and holy if the day wasn't saved. But seriously, if you're trying to win new fans in your own country, and your country's hot topic is all of the illegals coming up from Mexico, then WHY THE would you keep on showing fans waving their bull Mexican flags? Just to piss us off? It worked. And then we get to see Brown Pride come out to ing Salsa Music, or whatever the that was? Give me strength. What a ing travesty.
HORRIBLE.
But at least that racist lost. Brown Pride... lol. WMP, .
you beat me to it. But I don't think I could've articulated it as well.
I especially rolled my eyes to the ing goofy ass intro music. Only thing worse for me was seeing the "YES WE CAN!" signs and the Mexican flags all over the place. What exactly are you proud of? That EVERY ing citizen wants to get the out of that hole that's represented by that flag?
IT actually serves the UFC right this happened. They put all their hopes into one fight. All along this should have been an event. 5 card fight solid all the way around like they usually do..
I def agree with you DB hopefully they learn from last night...
And the ratings are a dissapointment supposedly only about 4.6 million..
They tried to market this like a boxing fight. That's strange since their business model has always been the opposite of boxing. Their motto has always been, "We give you several good fights not just one like boxing"
Dana was pissed at the post fight on Fox talking about how Cain's game-plan was terrible and this and that. I don't know if it was the UFC or Fox that wanted this to be just the HW le fight, but it was a bad error that didn't work out..
Now that I've had time to think about the event through a "mainstream" perspective, I agree with Trout on a number of issues.
1) HW is the worst division to show off MMA and what makes it different because the fight either becomes a grapple or instant KO - WW and LW would probably have been best.
2) Tons of Mexican flags, and Fox is typically Nascar and Are you smarter than a 5th grader crowd...and Cain's Brown Pride tattoo probably scared them off or made them hate the UFC.
3) Dana ting on Cain was not cool.
Watching the entrance for Pacman and Marquez, that felt like a spectacle, an event to be experienced. UFC on Fox? Not so much. Even after all the hype, Kimbo is still the ratings king of primetime MMA.
