Default Re: The Ultimate Fighter / UFC thread

Otis,

I don't really know what you're arguing. I'm just stating my opinion. Josh Gross and Jordan Breen at Sherdog agree with me, if we're gonna start throwing around names.

Like I said, I don't watch MMA for KO's and submissions. Just like I don't watch baseball for 15-12 slugfests or football for 54-49 shootouts. I'm not saying I can't or don't enjoy them, but that's not the reason I watch. I like to see skilled fighters fight, and I like to see how those fights play out.

I don't think it's wrong to reward fighters who win by stoppage before fighters that win by decision. I understand the UFC is also in the entertainment business. But if Machida beats Sokoudjou and then beats someone like Liddell, Ortiz, Griffin, etc., it's gonna be hard not to start considering him for the title.
