UFC 91/92/93. Absolutely incredible. This is the best YEAR for MMA fans, so many fantastic fights. I've easily spent at least $400 on PPV. I love this sport! Sergio Hernandez, there is no pride myth. To this day, PRIDE FC has the only DVDs where I am glued to the whole event & not just certain fights. 3 of my top 5 matches of all time are still in PRIDE FC. Knees on the ground, stomps, and yellowcards (to push the fights) made a huge difference in excitement, imo. As much as I love the PRIDE FC format, I'll always love UFC because they were the ones to discover a way to make MMA profitable and bring it to America. I HATED Pride... for only giving me the option to watch fights online because they werent televised here and then waiting for months to get the DVD to watch in fullscreen. The organization was horribly managed in the states. Ahh the paradox. This is like MMA heaven. UFC 91/92/93. Absolutely incredible.

The UFC are putting on some amazing cards but I couldn't care less about Griffin Evans, Rashad has to be the most overated fighter in all of MMA right now.

He lost TWICE. To the same guy. In basically the same way. If thats not ignorance than I dont know what is. I wouldnt be surprised if they kept feeding him cans and hyped him up.

Zach Arnold always goes on and on about the Zuffa Myth. I'm about to coin the Pride Myth. The Pride Myth is that every Pride card was salivated over when announced and blew our minds once it played out. That's ridiculous. Most of the cards, on paper, blew but ended up being pretty good. Some cards were pretty good and ended up being shit. And some cards were somewhere between blowing and being pretty good and ended up being amazing. These rose colored glasses that MMA fans are looking through when talking about Pride is starting to get ridiculous. Alright… Zach Arnold always goes on and on about the Zuffa Myth.

As it is pretty lame. Griffen vs Rashad meh who cares. Nog vs Mir - fraudulent putting Mir in this fight and pointless as Nog will school him at what Mir does best. Jackson vs Griffen 3, not long ago I would have said pointless but maybe Jackson will learn enough to avoid getting murdered with knees now that hes out of Juanito's camp. Franklin vs Hendo could be good. But if Hendo does what he does best, it will be boring. WAR HENDO though Shogun vs a non roided Coleman dropping to 205 at like 100 years old, good warmup fight for Shogun, better than forcing him right back in against Lyoto. Good way to get Shogun over to the American fans and thats all it is. A kill shot for him. Penn/GSP 2 Alright now we're talking a blockbuster fight So really the only 2 that interest me at all out of these is Penn vs GSP 2 and Rampage vs Wand 3. Other than that they have big names but more than likely won't be insane fights. Give me JZ vs Hansen and Aoki vs Akiyama or Eddie Alverez/ Akiyama vs Yoshida + maybe Kawajiri vs Uno and Mirko Overeem rematch. Also let Fedor stay busy against Ishii and put Tokoro against another action fighter and I'd gladly pay twice as much instead. This is the quality of the cards that DREAM has put out in DREAM 3 and 5. Personally I find them FAR superior to all but UFC 84 as far as events have gone.
