You are commenting in a comments section of an article you didn't even read. Go back to watching TUF reruns and studying for your driver's liscense test. Leave the MMA talk to the grown ups. @Ryan- you just capped off your ridiculous comments with the perfect punctuation. You are commenting in a comments section of an article you didn’t even read.

i order every ufc event because there is one or two fights i want to see and the rest of the card is littered with horrible match-ups and fuckin commercials the rest of the time and they don’t even use the entire time slot
they could air all the prelim bouts (i know they do 1 or 2) but they don’t want to show the garbage that usually goes on
once agian just want the best isn’t that what we deserve

also have been to live events in japan and the ufc in the US and well i will stop there
if the ufc stepped up their game then they really could destroy these other organizations but everyday more and more people relize their bullshit games (do to dana white)

I would add Condit to the Shields conundrum even tho he was decisioned by Shields. Both of them would do well moving to the UFC. I don't agree with GZ tho. He's definitly a top 55'r and I'd like to see him fight the top 55'rs. Therefore I do NOT want to see him in the UFC. The only top 10 55'r in the UFC is BJ. Even Sherk hasn't really beaten anyone significant other than a teenaged Karo. Guys like Aoki, Gomi, Hansen, Kawajiri, Ishida and the newly invented 55 superstar Alvarez are far superior to anything seen in the UFC except BJ of course. Actually I'll consider that Sherk could possibly beat some of those guys but we'll never know due to no UFC cross promo's. Another one I disagree on is Bigfoot to the UFC. Affliction would be a better choice since that's where the top Heavies are hanging these days. I would expect Affliction with their particular model (presupposing they don't go belly up) to continue to attract good talent. Maybe Bigfoot to the UFC first to as a stepping stone to the top fighters. OK, one more point, so really I only agree with half of your post. Honestly as long as Dream stays solvent, their 185 division is stacked. It's better than the UFC's at the top end. UFC has Hendo and Anderson but below that, it gets a bit more murky. Look at the 85'rs in Dream. My god, Dream 6 is going to be amazing. These 4 guys, Mousasi, Jacare and Manhoef are incredible and have a far better chance of knocking off Anderson than anybody in the UFC. Not to dismiss the 4th guy Galesic but I think he's not quite on the other 3 guys level. Anyway, Dream would be a better location than UFC for Filho. I agree with a lot of what you said.

You talk about people missing the point, but you don't even know what the point is. The point of the article is that these fighters are running out of elite competition to fight against that would make for an exciting matchup. Without the fighters, there are no exciting matchups for other promotions to host. That is why they need Zuffa, to have better matchups and exciting fights. Your hate for Zuffa discredits any shot at a point you were trying to make. Fans like you make me not read forums and not want to read comments on well written articles like this one. Please crawl back under the rock from which you came from. @ Ryan- You need to buy a clue. You talk about people missing the point, but you don’t even know what the point is.
