Lomfraud shoulda been cut before Okami. breh came over on that hypetrain and got exposed.

Why are you always so hung up on finishes? Fight is much much more than just finishes, the emphasis you put on it is a fukking joke.

Bendo usually puts on a great show. Get outta here with that 'leaves a lot to be desired' bullshyt.

at the end of multiple fights when opinons over the winner are split and dana calls it "another ben henderson fight" that's telling. When they choose him to headline multiple fox cards n he doesn't move the needle or parlay that exposure to atleast crack 300k buys that echoes my very sentiment. You can put a bow around it all you like.

Roman Brady seems like the type of fan that that would enjoy Mir/Cro Cop more than Bendo/Melendez.

what exactly happened in mir/crocop before it ended? U read the word finish and you are so easily confused by the premise of this conversation

LW is a shark tank and is up there with WW as the deepest division in MMA, there are going to be close fights. And how does close fights indicate anything negative about a fighter? Awful argument. When has Dana criticized Bendo? I need links, I don't remember him talking bad about Bendo. Low PPV sales is more about the division, rather than Bendo. It's pretty common knowledge that LW other than BJ is not a draw.

Look at Barao. He's very exciting and a top P4P fighter, yet if he headlines a card it would do very low numbers. The casual fans have very little interest in anything below 170, which is fukking sad. The casual fan is very fixed on size, they would rather watch two mediocre HWs brawl than watch Barao put on a clinic.

You're always bringing up finishes as the be all and end all of how good a fighter is and how exciting a fight is.

watched Primetime. First 10 minutes had me like

My friend was messaging me to watch it. Can't wait.

I have brought it up with 2 fighters and that's bendo and gsp. Both champions that staunchly admit they are in the business to collect pay cheques by point fighting. If that's your philosophy keep that shyt to yoursself no fan wants to hear that

1) Bendo doesn't point fight.
2) When did he 'admit to point fighting'?

Most avid MMA fans enjoy watching Bendo fight, what the fukk are you talking about?

And I'm still waiting for a reply to my earlier post:

When has Dana criticized Bendo? I need links, I don't remember him talking bad about Bendo. Low PPV sales is more about the division, rather than Bendo.

How can a champion have a string of 3 fights where fans are 50/50 over if he won or got beat? thats a lame duck to me.If you dont have the nonce to find a post fight scrum/howani interview with DW to one of (bendo's) most publicized title fights ..You are not saying anything new regarding bj and all that business.The fact is this fox situation is uncharted territory and bendo was the first guinea pig.From event to event what traction did he muster, what impression did he leave on fans to motivate them to follow his brand? absolutely nothing.Which in the end doesnt help matters.Another dynamic fighter with a threat of a finish and a more safe adverse style would satiate audiences its that simple.

u are sounding like you are trying affirm your mma knowledge to yourself who doesnt know that the lighterweight classes dont fare so well ppv wise.Thats beside the point, what i am talkin about is/are fighters that help or hurt their case against the odds.And why mention baroa in this is it the fact that hes in a new division, is it the language barrier or the fact no one had really heard of him/the ufc hadnt hyped him until ufc143.Totally different scenario than a cornball brotha thats american, one part of the kick that was played all over the sport beat, headlined multiple fox shows.

Dude do you watch any of the post/pre-fight pressers?

Most avid MMA fans enjoy watching Bendo fight, what the fukk are you talking about?

For every fan that does there are more that dont.This debate is reached its naturally end because of your turtle like pace to see the bigger picture you are making me describe bendo as if hes gsp/carmont when hes not. He has his merits and I have enjoyed many of his fights doesnt change the fact during many of them I sensed early on we werent going to see a finish ever.If there is no suspense its

Post a link breh. It's that simple.

No. Most avid MMA fans enjoy watching him fight. You called him a point fighter, which is not true at all.

Do some homework you lazy ass and prove me wrong.

And how are you quantifying this? because at pressers and in most open interviews his style (which is usually linked to his lack of fans) is always brought up .I say potato u say potatoe

He was the clear winner in the first Edgar fight. He has had 2 50/50 fights, vs. Edgar II and vs Melendez. Again, you didn't answer my question, 'how does close fights indicate anything negative about a fighter?' The answer is it doesn't, no point in debating because you're wrong. You haven't proved otherwise. You made the point of Dana criticizing him, so it's up to you post a link to prove your statement. Why in the fukk would I need to post a link? Post the link breh, that's all you have to do. Bendo puts on great fights, that's all he needs to do.

Your point is that very few people care about Bendo, but his lack of drawing power is more indicative of fans not paying attention to the lower weight classes. Hence, why I brought up Barao.

You're a fukking joke. Post a link to prove your point. Why would I find a link? It's your point, which is why you must find a link.

Again, where these pressers that people critisize his performances and fighting style. You need to post a link to prove your argument. Right now you're point holds no weight. Post a link you clown *Belfort voice*
