So U2popmofo mentioned this in another thread and I couldnt agree more. Where is all the MMA discussion???? Anyway, since UFC 99 was last weekend (bit of a snooze fest) and the Ultimate Fighter Finale is tonight, it seemed like a good time to start a thread.
So first up, what did everyone else think of UFC 99? As I said, I think it was somewhat lack luster. The main event was enjoyable, but I think Silva got robbed. Hes such an exciting fighter too and I'd like to see him win a couple for change. No disrespect to Franklin though. Both fighters seem like genuinely cool guys.
Looks like Cro Cop high tailed it out of the UFC after his first fight back and Dana White is pissed. Guess they made an agreement over the phone that Cro Cop went back on. I dont think thats guy is a good as he used to be anyway. Either that or he just cant fight in a cage. When was the last time we saw a quality head kick (that he wasnt on the receiving end of)?
Looking forward to the Ultimate Fighter Finale tonight. Its kind of disappointing how few guys from the show are actually fighting tonight though. Apart from the 4 fighting for the contracts, i think there are just 4 others. Its usually cool to see a few more fighting in a real show after following them for the season. For the show finals, I'd like to see James beat Demarques. Demarques just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. And for the lightweight fight, I dont really care who wins. I like them both, but I think Andre might have the advantage. Should be a good fight either way.
One other thing, I used to really like Bisping before this season, but he just came off like a total prick. I know he said he was doing it to get under the other team's skin, but still. Just seemed like a bit of a dick. Henderson on the other hand seemed like a really laid back nice guy. their fight should be entertaining during UFC 100 (i think thats when they fight) but I have a feeling Henderson is going to finish Bisping off pretty easily.
