or as Nate Diaz would call them NUT HUGGERS

great fighters, but boring as frick. all look the same like they were cloned out of a factory. can't pronounce any of the names, has the personality of dry wall, wear stupid hats, and no matter what division or who it is - it's the same fricking fight. Literally you see one fight you've seen them all.

The dominance can't be understated. But ultimately as an entertainment product it's poison. It's the equivalent to what the three point has done to the NBA in terms of entertainment. i'm just speaking facts. the general public is getting sick of this act.

and O'Malley absolutely embarrassed himself.

If you think Merab is boring, you're crazy. He's one of the most exciting fighters in the sport and has one of the best personalities, too.

he's just another nut hugger sorry

excellent fighter but i'm over the white eastern europeans in the fuzzy hats. like i said that style mixed with the bland personality is putting the UFC at an all time low in terms of excitement / intrest. give it a few more years when people are truly over it.

The entertainment is the pure domination and dedication. It might not be exciting like Suga knockouts. But they show up and do their job. Boring is subjective. Their execution is almost perfect.

It’s just what the UFC is now. It’s a dominant strategy for a fighter that is trying to control the match. It just works.

Wrestling and grappling have almost always dominated UFC because of the cage and how the ring and rules are set up.

It's not changing unless you can start grabbing the fence.

I think it’s just you bro. Islam’s last 3 fights, finishes. Khamzat’s 8 UFC fights, 6 finishes. Merab is a decision machine but he’s far from boring. I think you’d like kick boxing not MMA. I don’t know

Yeah, Merab is definitely exciting. If he starts putting in more submissions, his popularity will only grow.

“Can’t even pronounce their names” makes you sound simple and narrow-minded.

Perhaps that’s the effect you’re going for.

I don’t think they are boring but I agree it is a problem for Dana and the UFC with them taking over every single division.

UFC started with the most grappling mofo of all time Royce Gracie.

Its not a new phenomenon.

Grappling is very effective fighting. Maybe you should switch to watching boxing or kickboxing if you hate watching grappling.
