Whatever happened to that guy who tapped out Dolloway twice (with the same move) on their season of TUF? I think it was the one with Forrest and Rampage.
Amir Sadollah.. lost to Sexyama a few months ago on the UFC Japan card; had been dealing with lots of injuries

This is the true answer.
UFC has 300 guys on the roster, but they can't keep high level guys healthy and with all the cards they're putting out they can't stack cards with really elite fights. Even with guys fighting 4 and 5 times a year the formula right now is lots of smaller weight class fights and stretching the ranked guys fights throughout the year.
There's not been much to hype and not much controversy or friction to sell and I've never been more interested in the sport for some reason.
I think we're also seeing more skilled fighters rather than brawlers. Nate Diaz was 100% on point about the reebok deal and having all the fighters look similar. It removes personality from the sport and personality is one of the few things a fighter can leverage into better sponsors and more $. UFC isn't going to pay the fighters enough to compensate for their losses of income.

They're planning on running 45 cards next year.

I'm watching this Titan FC card on CBS Sports... the announce team is a snoozefest. These dudes have zero entertaining ability.

One of the guys in the main event shaved his head to make weight - and it worked.

I'm hearing lots of fighters are having issues with sponsors and getting paid so I'm holding my judgement on the Reebok deal
2015 should be a major turnaround.. the first three cards of next year barring injuries will do about two million plus buys total, plus it looks like they are doing 3 stadium shows and Brock and possibly GSP are returning..

And mma STILL won't be regulated in NY. 
Posted on 12/19/14 at 9:30 pm to Korin
NYC and the NY Athletic Commission is so fricked up. The $ they can make off MMA will far far far outweigh any bribe or lawsuit settlement they can ever pull together.
You'd think the Fertittas would know the right palms to grease, I think there's an old school mobster feud blocking this. It's a retarded Union that seems to be the main lobbyist against MMA in NY along w/ county ignorant women state senators..

Imagine all of the cards we could've witnessed over the years in MSG.

Titan FC suckssss

1.5 fights was all I could take.
Posted on 12/20/14 at 6:07 pm to DirklasDaDirk
and we're a go! Early pre-lims are getting underway.

Brazilian frickery has started early tonight.
American kid gets hit w/ a headkick and punches comes and continue after the end of the round and the ref stops the fight after round ends, it's officially scored as a KO at 4:59 of the first round.
Collier was out on his feet and it probably would've been stopped by his corner between rounds but he deserved the minute to recover.

Brazilian frickery #2.
American Tim Means knees Brazilian opponent literally as his hands come up off the mat, huge knee, kid is out flat. Ref calls time, lets the brazilian recover.
Video shows both hands up when knee is thrown, when fighting resumes Brazilian hits a head kick and jumps on Means w/ a flurry of punches and nearly wins. Means survives that and the round continues, but he loses a sure win.

Sounds like they signed Rampage. I hate Rampage. Looking forward to him fighting real competition and getting KTFO
They can just cancel the fight in Sweden and feed Page to Rumble instead.
