UFC 136 and 137: The Solution to Injury Cursed Cards
2011 has been a tough year for UFC fight cards. There has been more main event and co-main event shuffling this year than any years past. UFC 130 in may completely lost it’s main event when both Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard were forced to pull out of the fight. UFC 133 that takes place this Saturday ties the record of fight card changes set by UFC 108 at 9 changes according to MMA Nation.
There are many people speculating as to why there has been such and increase in injuries forcing changes in fight cards, but I am more interested in what can be done to stop a fight card from crashing and burning. UFC 136 and UFC 137 in October are two perfect examples of solutions. [Read more...]
UFC 2011 Fall Schedule is Unprecedented!
I now believe that the UFC is trying to force me into bankruptcy.
To kick off the summer of 2011 Zuffa put on 6 straight weeks of fight cards starting with UFC 130 in May and finishing with UFC 132 on July 2. This stretch included the TUF 13 finale, UFC 131, Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum, and a UFC fight night. To finish out the summer, UFC makes a return to trip to Brazil for the first time since 1998 for the killer card UFC 134: Silva vs. Okami.
With the fall coming up, it looks like UFC is about to one up themselves. [Read more...]
UFC Gatekeepers Series: The Welterweights
If you have ever been to a live UFC, you know that everytime UFC’s welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre appears on the video screen the arena erupts.
GSP has ruled the division since getting the title back from Matt Serra back in 2008. Since that time he has defended his title 6 times. The champion’s second hand man is Jon Fitch who holds a 13-1-1 record in the UFC. If a gatekeeper existed to fight the champion, Fitch would be it and no one would be allowed in.
The top of the division has not seen any change in 3 years but the lay of the land at welterweight seems to constantly be changing. Even more so as of late… [Read more...]
UFC Gatekeepers Series: The lightweights
After defeating BJ Penn twice at lightweight, Frankie Edgar became the man to beat. At UFC 125 Gray Maynard nearly did just that after blasting the champion in the first round for a 10-8 score on the judges cards. Edgar made one of the biggest comebacks in MMA history to pull off a draw.
After their rematch scheduled for UFC 130 was scrapped due to injury, a log jam has been created in the division. Combine this with some surprising surges coming from unexpected fighters, the gatekeeper status for this division has become murky. Let’s take a look… [Read more...]
