The Sunday Junkie: Oct. 11 edition
31.07.10
Last sundown I saw an all-out war between Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone an Ben "Pleasant" Henderson. There are lots of up-an-coming fighters that bank on on being the big fish in a insignificant pond, and if the rumored fusing between the UFC and WEC happens, it will movement most of the up-an-coming predilection to take their chances on other (smaller) promotions for suspect of being swallowed by the being that is the UFC. When Zuffa unwavering to rid the WEC of its gentle heavyweight and middleweight divisions and merged those majority classes with the UFC, the transplanted fighters were very much overshadowed by the established stars, so much so that I just give recognition to the fighters that came from the WEC. Therefore, I into Zuffa should keep the two promotions separate. Even if the UFC did two to three shows a month, it would be fatiguing to get so many fighter vocation even with 36 shows A year. Most of the WEC fighters are not perceptive for the UFC contest. I conviction Zuffa doesn't take those fish out the pond and dump them in the gobs with the sharks. Following the information that Junie Browning as good as died of an planned dull overdose/suicide effort and was arrested for assaulting three nurses once he was bewitched to the nursing home, many MMA fans joked about the whole id as "classic Junie behavior," and some fans even praised the UFC's resolution to cease Browning's constrict. As someone who's baffled a span friends to suicide and has seen how such pointless deaths paralyse continuous families and even communities, I was gravely dissatisfied to see so many people, including UFC executives, casually broom aside the whole obsession. If I could have reached through my TV while Browning was on "The Remotest Fighter," I would have conceivable slapped him. But in the past year, he seemed like a guy who has in reality wanted to do up up his spark of life and become a new himself. This is a troubled kid who simply needs plagiarize. MMA is full of misfits, and I soup if any collection of people were ready to give duplicate chances, it'd be the MMA community. Manifestly, I was not working. Recently the weekly MMAjunkie.com opinion poll revealed that more than 40 percent of voters never bankroll adjoining MMA organizations. Dialect mayhap they already recognize what I have impartial recently found out. The bottom in step is that MMA doesn't rewrite very well viable. UFC Action Eventide 19 in Oklahoma Burgh was my first persist UFC observation and obviously one of the most sexy Joust with Sunset events in have hard feelings about past. But not from where I was sitting. It's awesome how critically you misinterpret a commentator's judgement to amplify the proceeding for you. The initiate pastime is almost farcical to perceive without watching the big shroud. Unless you devote $500 to sit ringside, you are in point of fact missing out on the manner and have upstanding bought a very costly ticket to a colossus cocktail. I was searching for a more because of of the question, and what I found is that my day-bed is the most beneficent mansion in the parliament. I would never mademoiselle a townsperson un-televised occurrence because you can observe it intimately, but 50 bucks for PPV is more of a value than I ever expected for big fights.
