UFC on FOX...my 2 cents...
« on: November 14, 2011, 09:50:34 AM »
I hated it...everything about it.  A bunch of stupid commercials.  Where's the classic gladiator music/theme?  Only one fight. Pre-fight talk with Dana & Lesnar was stupid. Post fight commentary even worse.

I'd rather pay the $55 and get the normal UFC experience back.

The UFC fanbase is probably growing, but over the past year they've lost a fan in me.  I got tired of paying 50 bucks a ppv to see 5 fights and hear Joe Rogan whine!  I did flip back and forth to see the fight that lasted 1:05.  Can Dana control that, no but they could have streamed another fight in to fill the time up.

Exactly!  That's a freaking football anthem...nothing to do with MMA.  They were clearly desperately reaching for that mainstream neophyte.  Oh well...

Bad show and bad format. 

UFC is going the way of pro rasslin and this FOX deal isn't going to last.

Anyone that is being honest with themselves knows damn well that if the JDS fight had been a 5 round classic- everyone would be talking about how awesome it was to have the UFC on Fox and how they can't wait for another one.

More people watched this fight then any other combative sport or wrestling on national tv in over 8 years. In total about 10 million people watched it.

So it doesnt really matter what you think. It was a total success.

I'm not a big fan of the whole fox deal. It reminded me to much of the nfl with the music and everything. I would rather have mma stay more underground anyways.
