UFC 100 predictions
ChadTower:
I actually agree with that so long as he keeps it within the social boundaries of MMA (which he failed to do saturday). It has gotten to the point where every interview is exactly the same, every post fight interview is the same, and really there is no reason to watch anything other than the fights. Since pro wrestling is all about everything but the fights it would be good marketing to grab a little of that from an expert.

And thus the downslide of UFC continues...

That would be funny if it devolved into another WWF-type soap opera for men.
mr.Curmudgeon:
I've never been a devoted fan of UFC (or any sport, really), but I've been watching it on and off since the very first year it came out...and I get a little more nervous every year, as the fighters become more like "characters", with the crazy hair-styles, and the intro music for each of them gets more and more elaborate.
I know the promoters are into making heaps of cash, and unfortunately, turning UFC into the WWF/WWE is probably the best way for them to make the money.

The Ultimate Fighter Show is doing just that...it's providing drama and backstory for these fighters now, before they even fight. Just look at the rivalry it created between Henderson and Bisbing.
ChadTower:
Heh, that wasn't much of a rivalry. Bisping acted like a ---meecrob--- to the wrong guy and got his head knocked in for it. :laugh2:

That followup punch on the ground was BRUTAL...and completely unnecessary. Crap like that is why mainstream has trouble accepting this as a sport. That punch/elbow drop was far more 'bully-ish' than any taunting Lesnar did.
