This is true, however they are putting big names to headline these cards that would normally have been on FS1 or 2. That is what pisses me off. If they were only showing the local fighters on fight pass I wouldn't care. If the UFC ever goes to the WWE online structure which is to pay $10 a month and you get access to all PPVs I could get down with that

1. He took mixed martial arts way more serious than acting

2. He's the greatest mixed martial artist of all time

3. He'd absolutely beat Tyson

I think the main card is solid as hell.

I know Dana is trying to get people to subscribe to Fight Pass, but limiting exposure of the up and coming guys on the prelims is a bad idea.


Agree with all of this.

Machida-Mousasi could turn real boring, real fast. Both guys are notorious for waiting and waiting to counter. Two counter strikers who are absolutely disciplined in their game plan. We'll have to see which guy decides to attack. If neither do, then we may in do a long boring fight.

I'd say that the first one to really put all facets of the game together was Frank Shamrock.

I hate to see it because there is better competition in the UFC, but Gil needs to get his money while he can and I don't blame him. Oh well, at least he will have at a minimum 2 good fighters to fight(Chandler and Alvarez).

Him fighting Alvarez and Chandler is as exciting as anything else. I'm not dying to see him go to a decision against any ufc lws currently.

Chandler and Alvarez are both awesome to watch. It's a real shame that they don't have anyone else to fight other then themselves. Gil would be a great addition to Bellator although there's still a few fights Id like to see him have in the UFC (pettis, Cerrone, Khlib).

I hope Mousasi feels some pressure to perform. I think you are right about Machida sitting back in this one though. But yeah I could totally see it going snooze fest since they both counter so well.

Watch for shields and Nate to jump to Bellator as well when deals are up if ufc plays hardball.

If Bellator can stay afloat money-wise they'll begin to look a lot more like a legit #2
