No, you don't have the right. You know why? Because you pay when you want to pay. You don't pay when you don't want to pay. It really is as simple as that. You have the option to give them money, and the option to with-hold. I'll be honest in saying that this isn't the most exciting card, no, but the negative attitude I see here in regards to UFC as of late is seriously getting ridiculous. These cards aren't always going to be winners They aren't always going to be as stacked as we'd like. It's all UFC can do right now to find healthy fighters, yet instead of being understanding and patient, we're content to knock and tear down an organization that has given us quite a lot, yet one that is currently in a bit of a bind? Kind of a shitty attitude to take if you ask me. |

I have mixed emotions for this card, I mean couture-coleman is a solid co-main event.
headling 109? idk about that.
But I'm interested in every fight on this main card....top to bottom it is a good card, but there is just a weak main event

Other then Nogueira-Vera and Marquardt-Soonen, it's kinf of average.
Coleman-Couture, it sounds like it's gonna be boring. This has the potential of being one of the most boring fights in recent time. If the fight doesn't end soon, both of them are gonna gas badly and then we could see a "huggin contest".
Nog-Vera though sounds interesting.
Nog has the edge.

Randy gassing? Randy hasn't gassed in the least since like... Rizzo I.
I'm SO pissed Maia is on the prelims. He crushed Sonnen not even that long ago and Sonnen's in one of the bigger main card fights. Plus Serra and Trigg haven't won a relevant match between the two of them in years.
I'm looking forward to all the fights kind of, but I don't believe a single one of them to be at all relevant to title contendership or anything. Except maybe the Rogerio fight. |

Tito and Liddell are coaching the new TUF and then fighting each other, and Couture/Coleman are HEADLINING (yes, headlining!) a UFC fight card. And those were just examples of fighters, the list goes on beyond that. There is no hyperbole here, the UFC needs to bring in good young fighters like Jon Jones or else they are going to die off in the near future once their big names retire and get old. |

My point was made, and it was sound. We don't see the aforementioned fighters ALL of the time. Aside from Couture who, outside of his last fight, has always proved to be exciting. I reiterate... Liddell and Ortiz are only just coming back after lengthy hiatuses, and we very rarely see Coleman. Besides, I still don't know what your gripe is. Is it that there aren't many 22 year old prodigies in the UFC? Okay... that I can agree with. But no young talents to take over for the legends of yesteryear? Um, GSP isn't young? Machida and Lesnar and Penn aren't young? The Nog brothers aren't young? Florian and Sanchez aren't young? Fitch and Alves aren't young? I could conjure up a pretty big list of my own.
It's very rare we see a young twenty something like Jon Jones come along. Most fighters spend their early twenties working up through lesser organizations attempting to establish themselves and perfect their skills. I respect that you have your own opinion, but to attempt to declare that the UFC is primarily made up of old fogies is a tad silly. Contrary to what you might believe, anyone in their mid-twenties to early 30s can, for all intents and purposes, be considered young.

Meh, Maia vs Miller will be one of the prelims they show.
