me too

everyone is hating on this guy getting to fight, but his losses are to very legit guys and he’s a very tough opponent. I for one am interested to see how he does in the UFC

You know...If you have to explain a joke to someone, you should just give up.

’Cause that guy obviously is probably 12 years old or something. lol.

Good reason on why they had to take on Hunt....

but what’s the excuse for keeping Spencer Fisher?

by ducknow on Jul 10, 2010 3:01 PM EDT reply actions

He always comes to fight

Have you ever seen Spencer in a bad fight?

by _Haze_ on Jul 10, 2010 7:09 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions

thats one thing i liked about pride not every fight had to be a title implication match

as long as the fighters were entertaining in pride they had a job.. unlike the ufc if you lose 2 in a row yur gone entertaining or not… mark hunt was fun to watch win or lose.. could take some brutal shots and still walk foward

by nickaz on Jul 10, 2010 3:50 PM EDT reply actions

I'm glad Hunt is getting the opportunity

but have no problem with cutting guys that lose a couple in a row. It shows integrity and that the UFC only wants guys that are focussed on winning. Think about it, they could have milked a lot of money off of Kimbo, my guess is his gay ass fans woulda still paid to see him lose 2 or 3 more fights in the UFC, but Dana cut him any ways. I respect that considering Kimbo (unfortunately) is a bigger draw than Fedor. I’d be willing to bet that the UFC gave up millions in possible revenue by cutting him.

by kevjack115 on Jul 10, 2010 4:21 PM EDT up reply actions

question

so that means the ufc has to give every former pride fighter a fight?

by enjoimike49 on Jul 10, 2010 4:33 PM EDT reply actions

I'm sure every contract is different

see Fedor

by kevjack115 on Jul 10, 2010 4:42 PM EDT up reply actions

Can somebody clear this up for me in an interview hunt said he couldn’t fight for other organisations due to this contract but didn’t manhoef ko him way after zuffa purchased pride?

by stebrillz on Jul 10, 2010 4:40 PM EDT via mobile reply actions

always gonna be entertaining to see hunt make weight

but also iv seen his fights.albeit by videos he looks like he would provide interesting fights

Dana's a liar and a two faced POS

I don’t believe a word that pale faced bald hippy says. He lies all the time about guys who leave the UFC for more money I.E Henderson and Werdum. He said Werdum couldn’t make it in the UFC. Dana is a liar plain and simple.

by Brockness Monster on Jul 10, 2010 6:52 PM EDT reply actions

no he's not...

he’s the reason we have a great sport that’s thriving.. he has to do what he needs to to promote, but he still wants to make the sport respectable… he’ll figure out a freak show for hunt

by JTP-HS on Jul 11, 2010 4:41 AM EDT up reply actions

Werdum was 2-2 in the UFC and it turns out he was right not to resign Henderson for more money.

by Jared1984 on Jul 11, 2010 11:32 AM EDT up reply actions

yeah right

Werdum destroyed Brandon Vera and Henderson destroyed Bisbing. I agree Werdum probably can’t handle the bigger guys in the UFC but a guy his size he will always have a shot at winning. Henderson is getting old but I wouldn’t look at his last performance and say he is done. I think he was hurt, he almost finished Shields and now Dana is trying to get him. I don’t disagree about Dana being the reason the UFC is so great either, He is just a Liar and two faced. Maybe that is what he needs to be but I still don’t like him.
