On paper, tournaments are a great idea. Unfortunately, injuries are a big problem. And what does the champion do during a tourney? Wait on the sidelines for the winner? We already have champs not fighting enough. If the AC didn't have their rules/regulations, an 4 or 8 man one day tournament would be :banderas:

The UFC should be like the superbowl, where the winner of the tournament is the champion for that year, and it starts over the next year

They don't have the do the tournament in one night like Pride or Royce Gracia days

it takes time to build fights and time to build events, every month they have a ppv it seems, thats too much

oooh lawd....that Aguilar fight was STRUGGLE

other than that...it was a pretty solid card. The Georgi fight was :whew: indeed

NBC's main network is showing the Indepedence weekend card, hmm? I wonder why:smugfavre:.


If Newell wins, MMA will get shat upon so badly.

I'm a stan for life if Gaethje can get the job done.

Is Newell good or has he just been feasting on pure cans?

He's the truth. Very legit.

He's very aggressive though. The way he fights can make him tired. If he gets tired and can't keep going for the choke he can very well get caught by a striker if he can't defend with his one good arm.

I have to favor Justin in their fight though, if Newell is able to beat him I would be impressed. Justin is just so aggressive with his strikes and constantly comes forward putting on a relentless pace.

Rick Glenn impressed me last night, the way he was able to escape the submissions and use those long limbs to really punish Georgie with GnP.
