Yeah I agree about the super 6,it was a good idea that I was really looking forward to when it first started,I've still watched every fight but they should of done it pureley as a knock out tourney and not a league and KO format,because like you say,it is taking far to long,a year and a half to crown a winner is far to long,people have started losing interest and the interest will only return,IMO when they get down to the semi final KO rds.
No Offence taken,maybe a little bit would of been taken,if it wasn't for the fact that I've got used to reading your insulting remarks to people by now,so you take my comments and opinions how ever you want to mate.
Dana's opinion means nothing to me,and to be honest,I can't recall hearing or reading what dana has said about one night tourneys,you'll have to enlighten me.Dana's a promoter who will say whatever it takes to promote the company he heads and has a big stake in,so I take what he say's and does with a pinch of salt,somethings he says,I 100% agree with,othertimes I think he's talking out of his arse,now when it comes to whether I think he's beengood for the sport,then yeah I think the Ferititas and Dana have been absolutley fantastic for the sport.
I say what I like and say what I dislike,I like the UFC,where as you for whatever reasons don't,so every time I stick up for the thing I really enjoy,you and many other Pride boys,automaticly acuse us of being Dana's sheep,so it doesn't matter when we give our personal reasoning on any UFC or MMA subject,you'll always come back with the same thing,it's as predictable as the sun rising.
It's as if because we don't share Pride boys opinions on the UFC,then we must be fair weather,dana loving UFC fanboys,while Pride boys automaticly claim themselves as hard core MMA fans,which to me is just an ignorant bitter opinion.(but thats just my opinion
)
It's not as if all this anti UFC comes across as original opinions,I've been reading the same repeated stuff for years,you can go on every MMA board on the web and there's Pride fans spewing the exact same stuff you do about Dana and the UFC,some of it justified but IMO,90% of it is just unjustified bitterness,maybe because they can't forgive the UFC for killing off Pride or they don't like to see success and want to knock it for whatever reasons or maybe it's something else,whatever it is,I personally don't understand it.
I personally love todays MMA alot more.
I think,what the sport has turned into today,is by far better and since the UFC have killed off the way Pride and the early UFC ran things,the fighting out of weight classes,the mismatches,freakshows,padding crowd favourite fighters records and all the other shit that gave the sport a bad name,they have gave MMA some legitamicy as a mainstream sport and have moved away from the spectacle it was,by making evenly matched fights,sticking to weight classes,drug testing,answering to commisions and making their rules,so they appeal to a far wider audience,and since they have done that there been no looking back in the sports rise in popularity.
IMO it has become better for fans,the sport and the fighters and since the UFC were the major players in making that happen,I have to give the Fertittas and Dana the credit.I can only see the sport of MMA growing and improving while they are the major force in the game,and can't think of any major decisions they have made that has had a negative impact on the sport,so I see no reason at all,why it would be a good Idea to return to doing some of the things,like one night tourneys,that obviously didn't work or help the sport out in the first place.
which you obviously don't agree with and don't particularly care to hear.
