I've gradually lost interest in this "sport," for a variety of reasons.

One of the main reasons however is Dana's behavior. I turned off the post fight presser about a minute after I found it. Some gems from the man I labeled Dana F'in' White, a moniker which has caught on:

-"if you didn't like the featherweight fight, you're a moron."

-"if you boo, you're a dick."

Jones: "the doctors think I may have nerve damage."

Dana interrupts: "what do you know, another injured fighter!"


I've lost all respect for this POS.

At this point, I hope the UFC flounders. It's not like the fighters are making any money anyway. And the champs have all been paid millions and should be set for life.

Dana had a grand vision to make MMA the biggest sport in the world. That plan has not only been a colossal failure, but it's all too clear that MMA will remain a marginal, peripheral presence on the mainstream sports scene indefinitely.

I feel like I should be handing you tissues and tampons.

The Featherweight fights were great, they were #1 and #2 of my favorite fights of the night. The Fly weight fight on the other hand felt like 25 minutes of scrambling.

Also oh poor Dana not being able to book Jon Jones for a December fight gee maybe he should have stopped pissing away title fights from healthy guys like JDS, Anderson Silva, and Carlos Condit.

He also said if you don't like flyweight, don't buy any UFC content.

Luckily for him, I've been doing that very thing for all UFC events I watch for over a year now.

He forgot to hire someone who actually knows how to run a business properly if it wants to prosper.

He didn't commit a crime or do anything "unethical."

He's just too stupid and arrogant to realize that the fans are ALWAYS right.

If they're not watching FREE UFC fights and the numbers are declining, it's because the fights are not very interesting and word has gotten out.

If fans boo, it's not because fight fans are morons, it's because the fights aren't that interesting.

And these fans are right, the UFC is not that interesting anymore. I took a night out of my weekend, which are important to me, to tune in, hoping for a great event. Now, I realize, as has been the case for a while now, that I'm a lot better off just not watching these events live, or perhaps not at all.

Hate to say it: the UFC is boring now. And no amount of swearing, insults or denial can change that fact.

To you. Most of the cards are still damned entertaining to everyone else even if I didn't particularly care for most of tonight's fights.

And fans are not always right. That's like saying the customer is always right. It's stupid and it's not how businesses - not even ones in entertainment - work. You listen to them but you don't make your decision based off of them alone.

Though, personally, I think he went too far with the flyweight division. 135 is shallow enough but now we have an entire weight class with 5 signed fighters. That's not a division - that's a boy band.

I'm glad I sat through this card. Actually I slept through significant portions of it.

It taught me that I have better ways of spending my time. If you loved the card, great, more power to you.
