Velasquez vs JDS on Fox Thoughts

[Neggroll21]

Don't get me wrong, I am pumped for this fight. However, a lot is riding on this deal. Personally, I think UFC made a mistake letting go of the spike deal for fox. I know Fox probably made them get rid of spike but let's be real. Spike tv gave us 4 free guaranteed fights (most of the time 5 or 6) and supposedly the fox card will only give us one. In a perfect world, UFC would be on fox, spike and versus but thanks to big business this can't happen. Nevertheless, I digress.

Velasquez/JDS MIGHT be a great fight, but as we've seen in the past with two evenly matched fighters this could turn into a real snoozer. The only way Cain can win is to turn this into a boring fight. He's not going to stand and bang with JDS, and he's not going to submit him or pound him out. He's going to press his up against the cage and take him down and lay on him without taking too much risk. This very well could be the fight that destroys the ufc. If this fight is boring and the ratings suck, the UFC/FOX deal will be terminated and Spike will probably say "Fuck you, we're with Bellator now," leaving the UFC on PPV only (back to the beginning).

What would I do? I'd keep the JDS/Velasquez fight on the PPV card a week prior and put on two exciting non-title fights with big stars that always come to fight. Tito/Franklin and Lesnar/Overeem; both three round affairs. That's right.

Thanks in advance for the compliments/praise.

I don't get how dana thought that his fox debut should be 1 fight for an hour.(officially it's cuz the paq vs marquez fight is on around the same time slot) it may have been a fox idea/move but dana agreed, 1 fight 1hour that will make or break this situation. it just seems weird, i see a lot of people like I can't wait...but like i said no undercard just cain vs jds, so 45 min of padding and hype vids we've already seen is what i assume will be enjoying. idk

Lol. You silly bitch.

1) There are supposed to be more fights/year on Fox than we saw on Spike.
2) Fox is FAR bigger and FAR better at handling sports, thus ushering in a true legitimacy of MMA as a mainstream sport.
3) Tito/Franklin isn't very exciting (to ME) & Lesnar/Overeem would not go 3 rounds. Instead, I'd opt for Bendo/Guida and Mir/Overeem.
5) No one should be complaining about seeing a title fight for FREE.
6) WAR JDS!!!

A single hour doesn't make it worth my time if I have other things I can be out doing. A big ppv or fight night on spike that is 3+ hours is a different story.

[Mack Elwood]

The fact that I can't properly count to 6 is reason enough to disregard my argument...

Also, I have a feeling that William is right but, again, its a Heavyweight title fight for free.

Lol. You silly bitch.

Go back to martial arts planet and train with little kids you nerdy looking cunt.

i'm totally watching it, the strategy is a lil mind boggling though.

Totally, that's what I'm saying.

I know I probably seem like a party pooper here. Obviously the UFC on FOX is huge for our great sport. However, the Velasquez/JDS fight was a poor choice IMO.
