Default Re: UFC in Manchester in April

ufc will never be anywhere near as big as boxing either in uk or worldwide...not in our lifetime anyway....can you see chuck liddell or randy couture being paid 25 million for one fight the way the top names in boxing can command....ufc is money orientated which is why there is now a ufc show every month as opposed to before when there was 2 or 3 per year....pride is the better organisation but unfortunately there best fighters are going over to ufc because its where the money is at...but it wont last....the downfall will be these ridiculous reality tv shows

i was at ufc 70 and the truth is it was a big let down,too many strikers on the same show meant it was mostly boring stand off fights with neither participant willing to commit themself,which is often the outcome when you have 2 strikers together....mike bisping got the job done but would have been submitted by a better fitter opponent...crocop looked too nervous and apprehensive...arlovski,well he was just arlovski,one minute a world beater,next minute a very average fighter.
apart from bisping the show was a disappointment overall.
