So yea UFC 100 was suppose to be a MMA fans dream card. I remember talking about it years ago, trying to guess who will be on the card, how many new people we'll see. How many epic matches..well the answer is ummm...1 I think. GSP vs Alves. GSP vs Alves.

Brock Lesnar vs. interim champ Frank Mir
Georges St. Pierre vs. Thiago Alves
Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago
Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Alan Belcher

:sarcastic12:

GSP vs Alves is the only UFC 100 worthy fight on the card. Cmon now Fitch vs Paulo Thiago? Akiyama vs Belcher?:sarcastic12:

UFC 100 failed epicly imo, yea the card is good, but it's UFC 100!!! I was expecting Fedor to make his UFC debut, I was also expecting Anderson and GSP to be on the card, you know, showcase the p4p fighters...but no, instead we get another generic mediocre card.......

as a long time fan im very disapointed....


btw when Dana said "we are waiting on new contracts" he was apperantly talking about that punch-line Akiyama guy....the guy is in Japan fighting guys with like 2-89-346 records..heh heh

I know it could be easy to feel let down after all the BS and over the top predictions of what would be on this card.


Fact of the matter is, is that this card is stacked. with the frequency of the fights taking place it makes it that much more better. its easy for affliction to put on cards with nothing but top names/match-ups because of the lack of cards and as much of recycling of fighters they do.

I am kinda wondering if they are holding back one last good fight for this card.

Either way I am excited to have tickets to it!

Actually... Omen, if your complaining about this card try to make your own. Bet it's not better. Anyway, you should be happy that the UFC has been alive for 100 events! Ten to fifteen years ago, nobody was sure whether it would live for another year!

nobody would care if they saw Miguel Torres, your TUF crowd is gonna laugh and wonder what Jack Blacks tag team partner from Nacho Libre was doing in the octagon.

Wait your bad for the DP? I dont think that came out right :)

I kinda agree this is a great card but I mean it's UFC 100!! Like UFC 92 is pretty well just as good.

They better make up for it by having lot's of historic shows on Spike. Like a tribute to Hall of Famers the history of the UFC with interviews etc etc.

torres is your p4p best ? i agree with the omen on ufc 100 not quite what id hoped it would be , but its still pretty dam stacked ...hendo /bisbing would be enough to sell me on it alone . but the reason i say it wasnt quite what id hoped is because i was hoping to see bj vs florian on this card as well . and it would of been cool to see a marquart fight . but o well , still cant wait for mir/les 2 , the tuf coaches and of course gsp alvez should be phenominal .:thumb02:

The card could be better yes, but that would only happen if the ufc did not run a gd fight ever 30sec, they need to cut back on the amount of stuff, hell we have posts for ufc 102, we are still fighting over ufc 100....

Slow the roll on fights and stack a card for a full night event, much like the superbowl, have 3 hours of stupid big fights....

As for him, he is a gamer, talks acts and views stuff as a gamer, he reminds me of a WoW player, he has a point but he drives the nail in to hard and upsets people. Also people see that red bar and just wanna talk S to him too lol.

I definitely don't think UFC 100 is a mediocre card, but I agree with the notion that it isn't the best card ever...and given Dana White's promotional skills, I was expecting the ultimate even. In my mind, UFC 92 (rampage/wanderelei, mir/nogueira, griffin/evans) was the best UFC card to date. I don't think they've topped it with this card, though they're not far off.

If I'm Dana I would've pushed Couture/Nogueira to get themselves in shape for this card...that would've really put UFC 100 over the top.

Overall, I'm not complaining though...should still be pretty awesome.

Man I never realized how bad Andersons buyrates were, alot of people said Cote was a failure as a main eventer after the buyrates came in for 90 but he only did 25,000 less than Hendo or Franklin could get with Silva.

Yeah I agree I dont think its a coincidence that Lidell is on the same card as Silva, I think they are hoping people will tune in hoping to see a Lidell knock out and will become Silva fans after watching him lay out Leites.

Tox I typed up alot and my comp crashed so here it is in the short form lol but I was shocked he even got that many

Silva respects to much, he is on a self rightous path that makes him to boring for americans, he is a good fighter but is not always a fighter, people like Wandy have an aura of "Dont F with me" that aura needs to be on all the time, I could see wandy double legging me and signing my Tap out hat way before Anderson would even put his hands up for a pose for a pic..

I see him S talking more later on, he controls his own career. He needs to work on his image, Listening to a 22 year old white mans voice translate for a strong black fighter, after the shots/beers leading up to his fight that will make for more problems because who really wants to F***ing hear him?

He needs to open up to his fans, He is to quiet, everybody loves the silent bad ass in movies because by the end you get to know the bad ass and be his friend, I fee more connected to crazy ass fighters who scream and yell stuff during interviews then I have ever with any of his interviews or backstory things.

He also needs to have a gimmic, whats Anderson known for? anybody? Having a "gimmic" is being gifted with a ability and it being used often, it cant just be "learned" but to try and finish people with the same move a few times might work if done right.

Anderson needs to get a eye patch and a asian girl to do his translations, Talk about how flowers are like UFC fighters and they are in his garden and hes planting tonight.

Dunno I like him but we will QUICKLY forget him after his belt is gone and his contract is up unless he gets the eye patch idea moving asap

You really do not try to help your status here at all do you? Jesus this card is stacked to all hell. Fitch is the #3 ranked WW in the world right now and Thiago just annihilated Kos. Good fight IMO. Belcher is always entertaining and will be a great test for Akiyama's entrance to the UFC. Lesnar/Mir will be great too, lots of hype. And we all know GSP/Alves is going to be more contested than the GSP/BJ fight. You sir, are a moron.

It's an even number and has 3 digits!! I really was expecting Captain Planet to be on this card. This is lame.

Omen please explain how you having "a little known top P4P" in your avatar is any different than "insert random pic of oversea's fighter here" in your sig? You just suck on all levels bud....and just not my favorite one. :(
