Showtime gets horrible ratings with boxing and MMA. The last CBS card did horrible ratings also. See a trend? They don't know how to promote.

[BlueNose1690i]

Maybe they should start promoting a match , Instead of a fighter.

@LeeUnited4eva Typical Brit with no MMA knowledge at all, you've probably been into UFC since I don't know, UFC 100! lol

Arlovski tore the UFC heavyweight division apart.

I forget the UFC has the Zen master Brock Leotard!

Go back to football watching football and talking piss with your mates in the pub, if your old enough to get in a bar that is.

I love the interviews with Iole, steve. Good job on those!

How many Hmm as Overeem lose to? Shogun, Chuck, Lil Nog, Arona, Werdum, Hari, Bojansky.

@WSW55

Wasn't Rodgers top 10?

Also a lot over overeem ko's seem to come after he was tired, probably from cuting too much.

I know how Strike Force could piss the UFC off and draw a large PPV, run adverts With Fedor starching Arlovski, Tim Silvia and have the title 2 UFC champs crushed by Fedor, who the next victim?
