Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 I admittedly haven't watched it since the original airing but I don't recall seeing Koscheck "destroy" Lytle. Kind of a silly statement to make since, as we saw in the Taylor fight that Lytle is one of the few fighters out there who legit cannot be destroyed. No blinders, either. I gots nothing against K-os.

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 It was about as one sided of an ass-kicking as Lytle has ever recieved in his career, if nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Yeah man, I haven't seen it seen it since UFC 86 was live, but I still remember Lytle getting absolutely punished by Koschecks ground and pound for 3 rounds straight, there were times I thought the ref was going to stop the fight.

If it was stopped it would've been due to cuts/blood. I need to obviously rewatch the fight because I remember seeing Lytle get beat down but never thinking it was in danger of being stopped.

Mik 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2008 Well, also the card kinda sucks. Wrong time to get burned out with 3 fucking killer PPVs in a row here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2008 No no, I'm way up for UFC 91, but damn, all the free shows lately. I'll watch every one of them and all, but it's a little much right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2008 I like Koscheck/Yoshida, Swick/Goulet and Wiman/Frankie. Other then that it blows though it should be interesting to see if they make any attempt to heel up Hazak Al-Hassan in a military setting. Won't be needed, I imagine. Kinda surprised Mustapha Al-Turk vs Kongo isn't on this as well. Actually, between cheering for Frenchmen and Muslim it'd likely be too confusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Frankie Edgar out of his fight with Matt Wiman. Replacement is Jim Miller so it's not a total bust but goddamn I was looking forward to seeing The Answer fight again. This is a huge oppurtunity for Miller though. He looked fantastic against David Baron at UFC 89 and if he can take out Wiman on a televised main card that'll raise his stock significantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 This event sucks but sometimes the ones you have no expectations for ends up being fun. Here's hoping this is one of those shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 It's strange to have two UFCs three days apart. I know they've done week to week before but 3 days is nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 UFC/Zuffa's biggest enemy is their own over activity. The amount of UFC shows and TV programming can be really excessive. This month's the worst I can ever remember. You have all the usual stuff like Unleashed...Throw in a WEC live special. Then throw in TUF episodes. Then throw in TWO live specials within days of each other. Then add a PPV. Thankfully, they take roughly a month off before they do GSP/Penn. Too much. Way too much stuff. One, two events per month is fine, but this is insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 What a bunch of slack-jawed faggots you've all become. "Too much MMA?" Not only is there no such thing that I've found, this sure as hell beats the days when you were forced to (re)watch old, shitty events to fill the gaps in between new cards. Maybe someday MMA will reach the point where boxing is at, where I simply can't be bothered to watch EVERY fucking Telefutura event, but that's still a ways off.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 I'm not in the "Too much MMA" camp as I pretty much watch anything when it's on tv. The card is just weaksauce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 I don't JUST watch UFC. I've already watched K-1 WGP which went four+ hours. Before that I watched the S-Cup. On NYE I'll be watching DYNAMITE if it airs, and then on the 4th, hopefully Sengoku. If you can sit there and watch every single MMA show that comes on and enjoy yourself, then that's great. But not everyone can do that. And from a sheer business stance, there is something as too much. People aren't going to buy every PPV. They aren't going to watch every TV Special. They aren't going to watch every show. It's called over saturation. And UFC's border lining it. There's too much. And when you do too much, you end up running halfassed shows with the occasional huge one. This UFN is a good example. A pretty weak card that they'd probably never have done if they didn't have so much else going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 The undercard is weak, but the live portion itself should be good. Cain dropping out sucks, but another part of the problem is that so many of the undercard fighters are relative unknowns, but I've learned to stop simply writing off fighters just because I haven't seen video of them yet. It wasn't long ago since people (myself included) thought Frankie Edgar was just an opponent being brought in to showcase Tyson Griffin against. The overall talent pool of MMA is deepening quickly, so I hold hope that not every unhyped new face they bring in is cannon fodder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 I don't watch every MMA event that comes around, simply because some of it just doesn't end up interesting me (as I mentioned about EliteXC). However, even if I don't watch it, I like that's there's so much activity going on in the sport at large, and sans the money making aspect, more fights is always better. Besides, it's not like anyone is FORCING people to watch; if it becomes a chore, simply don't watch. I just don't see the point in saying there's too many fights going on in a period of time (business aside); either watch them later, or don't watch them at all.

Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 I guess I should clarify then. I don't have a problem with UFC running so much from a personal standpoint. I'm a fan. I'll watch. But from a business standpoint, it's a fucking insane thing UFC's doing. If it works out for them, super, but I have a feeling running so goddamn much is going to not only hurt these two special's ratings, but it's gonna effect their buyrates. Brock/Randy was already below expectations. I can see the next two including GSP/Penn being hurt by all this as well. This is why I said the worst enemy UFC has is itself. They'll of course "carny" it by claiming it's the economy if that does happen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
