Not some ghetto bastard boxer who cant spell his own name and wouldnt last a minute in a true fight, and certainly not some roided up, abcess-sporting, drug dealing, homosexual prostituting bald "pro" bodybuilder.

I hear you've managed to hybrid watching men's gymnastics with the playing of pocket pool.


Congrats on the innovative supergayness.

as with all things evolution is essential

boxing doesn't have a standards body and so it is virtually a free for all

MMA seems to be the current trend..wrestling went to through it's hay day also

also bodybuilding is not a sport, it equates to a pageant..similiar to Miss America

also as a point of reference

during boxing's prime the other sports weren't as popular so the best athletes gravitated towards it

now the best athletes are playing football, baseball and basketball...the left overs end up in boxing, MMA, bodybuilding...et al

If hughes was bigger, stronger, faster, more agile or a combination of those of those items he would be playing another sport...plain and simple

he is a great athlete..but if he could throw a baseball 90+ miles per hour he wouldn't be wrestling.

i am sure that it is..but you are missing my point!!!

at an early age the ones that show physical promise are usually pushed towards the major sports...the others end up on the non major sports


to participate in the major sports, (football, soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis..) you have to start focused training at an early age.  So if he showed promise some coach or parent would have him playing a major sport

He still would more than likely be in the minor leagues with a 1 in 10,000 shot to be a major league pitcher.  There are approximately 300 pitching jobs in MLB. Many high school, college and minor league pitchers can light the gun up at 90 mph and still never get a sniff of the big show.

I guess that's why Spike tv is about to pull the very successful UFC show, the ultimate fighter, off their programing.

Even on free tv, 1 time a week mma can not get ratings and are doing terrible.

Not some ghetto bastard boxer who cant spell his own name and wouldnt last a minute in a true fight, and certainly not some roided up, abcess-sporting, drug dealing, homosexual prostituting bald "pro" bodybuilder.

Who is that?

I'd rather be De La Hoya....23 million for his next fight, Olympic Gold Medalist, WORLD Famous and could pull any girl he would ever want.

Every show has its lifespan, how many guys can you put through a series of tests/games and then have them fight at the end?

The show has served its purpose better than the UFC ever imagined, MMA has exploded big time and the show has made some of their top guys bigs stars, the show is a means to an end the bigger picture is that this sport will dominate.

Seeing the best fight the best is a big draw, therefore its better than boxing in that respect and there is no real politics giving rise to shitty decisions and thats where it has bobdybuilding beat as well as every other department in my book.

Bodybuilding is not a great spectacle for joe schmoe, but he can easily get behind he favourite ass kicking machine and be enthralled for 2 hours rather than being bored watching someone get a gift!

Hughes has been portrayed in a certain way on the show.  I have met him many times, and he was always cordial, and very nice.  He is opinionated, and will speak his mind.  TUF isn't doing as well this season because of the weight class.  I think a return to Welter/Middle will boost ratings.

hughes is the most focused athlete i've ever seen. when he's training he is obsessively focused (psychotic even), but the guy is exactly the same whether he's sparring, fighting, running sprints, intervals, weights, everything. there is no let up, and if you happen to be training with him, you better be exactly the same or, yes, he is going to be very opinionated. he comes across as downright nasty.

admittedly, i don't know him personally and maybe he just doesn't like me on sight, but i've never seen the 'nice' side.

in fact, on the show, from what i've seen of it, he appears much nicer, especially when he's chillin.

UFC 70 mixed martial arts card averages 2.8 million US. viewers
Canadian Press
Published: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 Article tools

NEW YORK (CP) - UFC 70: Worlds Collide averaged 2.8 million viewers in the U.S. on Saturday, Spike TV said Tuesday.

The mixed martial arts card in Manchester, England, was the UFC's first foray into England since 2002 and was shown on Spike in North America instead of the normal pay per view. The main event started at 3 p.m. ET but the TV broadcast was delayed until the evening.

The three-hour show peaked at 3.5 million viewers for the final 15 minutes for the main event between Gabriel Gonzaga and Mirko (Cro Cop) Filipovic. Gonzaga won the fight, shocking Filipovic with a kick to the head for a first-round KO.

But the card did not exceed the TV audience for the third bout last October between Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz, which drew 4.2 million on Spike TV and peaked at 5.7 million.

Spike said UFC 70 drew more men aged 18 to 34 (885,000 viewers), than anything on television (broadcast or cable) on Saturday, including NASCAR, baseball and NBA playoffs.

Spike TV is available in 91.6 million homes in the U.S.

Nice try douchebag, The Ultimate Fighter is the highest rated show on Spike by a wide margin.  Spike announced 2 more UFC content shows for the new season.  You must be upset that your favorite IFBB "pro" hasnt responded to your request for his soiled undies and samples of his bodily fluids.


hahaha, what the heck are you looking at, the separate age range ratings???  The Fact is that the OVERALL rating for the show has been constintly going down and the show will be pulled.....  It did bring mma to the for front, but the rating SUCK!!  Highest rated show...hahaha...they can't even get a FREE PPV card to get high OVERALL ratings, moron.

Let me guess, you are a fat, out of shape guy that looks like garbage and can't even throw a punch, right?
