@RSB0171717 Not quite so! True challengers like Gegard Mousasi or Damian Grabowski they don't have. I mean guys like Antonio Silva, Rogers or Alistrar I am not even talking about Fedor. There are guys who are unknown but today would terrorize UFC like Damian Grabowski I doubt many MMA fans here in USA even know him but watch his fights he is awesome he's just not popular enough for Dana & Loranzo plain & simple look at Junior Dos Santos is by far the best in UFC HW & still not getting his shot.

that is bullshit and you know it! i can agree that the light heavywieght division is pretty stacked but what other divisons? The problem that the ufc had when pride was here and they still have it, is that they cant find good talent, and thats what made pride so great.

@edenova

the ufc has been hit by injuries and the ufc cards have been a failure because of joe silva

they have challengers all their divisions are stacked

[edenova]

im still with my opinion that they dont have as much of a talent anymore, they arn't falling apart as I SAID 10 MONTHS AGO! but they truly dont. I dont remember the last time i saw a good ufc card, i saw

strikeforce just last month and yes thier wern;t any big names but the fights were just better than fights in the ufc and i will explain why, ufc has very good champions but thier challengers and the poeple that they think are good actually suck ass, and in strikforce they ACTUALLY HAVE TALENT.

@edenova

haha lol you have too be kidding me if the ufc doesnt have any good fighters than strikeforce must suck

[edenova]

well not anymore ever sense they have brock and randy back and cain vasques is pretty good and now affliction is out of the business so dana white is doing pretty damn good

[diego81990]

so , they're gaining millions and still going bankrupt ? weird stuff man...

[edenova]

look at the ufc now they dont have any good fighters except anderson silva. the ufc is falling apart and its falling fast why do you think they are doing a fightcard almost every week? its becouse no one is paying to watch that and they need money wich they dont have.
