I am a MMA fan. I started watching the new leage called IFL. They edit the fights to make it more exciting for the average viewer and it totally ruins the sport.

QFT.

Really disapointed in IFL. IFL does post production editing and they still can't put together footage that is as good as UFC does with live productions. IFL is far away from being able to do live broadcasts, and it hurts their ratings that the fights all happened a month or three prior to the airing.

I thought maybe someone clued them in, because they toned down the stupid ring girl competition and got a little better at switching cameras when the ref blocked the view. But I see they are back to doing things that ruin the atmosphere, like cutting to shots of the audience in the middle of rounds. What idiot came up with that idea?

And they waste time on human interest stuff that is repetitive and at best hokey. At worst it's lauding some guy for wrestling a restaurant robber who has a gun pointed at a little girl. Retarded.
