There's been quite a few worst moments as a MMA fan. So I'll just list them.

Mayhem Miller vs CB Dollaway- Once Mayhem's leg gave way- the fight was just making me feel so sick to watch as Mayhem was just getting taken down and was just helpless in trying to mount any offense.

Nick Diaz vs Carlos Condit- I went into this fight expecting one of my favorite fighters in Nick Diaz engage in a Fight of the year with a fighter who comes to finish- then Condit was just not engaging and Nick had Octagon Control as he was controlling the fight. Then I heard the decision being 49-46 I was sure Nick had won it and when it was announced for Condit- I just went and kicked a chair over.

Wanderlei Silva vs Chris Leben- Wanderlei is one of my Idol's and he got me into watching MMA and to see him get Ko'ed that way in 30 seconds made my heart sunk :/.

lordzeru, not a Bones Jones fan eh? lol .... I'm with you on Shogun/Jones. It made me sad seeing Shogun lose the title right after finally winning it from Machida. Been a Shogun fan for a long time.

Sticking with Shogun, seeing him break his leg thus ending his win streak in PRIDE vs Mark Coleman. That was a fucking travesty on so many levels.

Too many too mention, Crocop's decline, Shogun fighting badly against Griffin, Couture being Donkey Konged by Lesnar, Liddel and Silva losing their chins, Fedor losing his steam, Nog turning to a zombie, Anderson Silva fighting weird sometimes when he faces a Brazilian.

Watching the UFC quickly turn into a WWE clone as Shale, Nick Diaz, and Frank Edgar got very much undeserved title shots for the sake of entertainment instead of people working towards title shots. Also, I don't care how you want to phrase it, but I'll be blunt and saying that Ronda doesn't deserve main event status on a PPV over a big fight like Machida vs Henderson. Dana is making Flyweights and Bantamweights earn their medal, as they fight on free TV to get exposure. Ronda only gets her PPV slot because she's hot and Dana wants her to armbar his dick.

The title shots off a LOSS annoys me even though i'm a big Nick Diaz fan, imo Hendricks should have got the shot and Diaz face a top 5 guy like Koscheck or Kampmann to really earn a shot.

I think the Ronda fight would have been better suited on FOX- larger demographic for her to appeal to for WMMMA and doesn't make the UFC lose out financially.

I was annoyed when the possible Flyweight number 1 contender match was on the facebook prelims for UFC 155. Thanks to that still nobody knows who John Moraga is even though he has been winning and finishing fights in the flyweight division.

If you put Ronda on PPV have her on the main card but not the main event- why promote a title fight which has barely any relevance to people other than the hardcores and looks to be a squash match.

So true, the immediate title rematches really stalled the divisions for the sake of entertainment... Now Chael gets a 205 title shot because he acts like a fool in the media so people want to see him get beat down which feels like Jersey Shore style marketing lol
Frankie Edgar must be one of Dana's boys or something, that rematch marathon he was on was ridiculous considering the depth of the lightweight division.

haha, I just hope this doesnt meant Machida/Hendo will go back to 3 rounds. That fight needs to be 5 rounds!

I didnt even think of that, that really sucks trying to build a division yet nobody knows who else is in it but the champion..

Actually, yeah. Machida-Henderson is a three round fight because Dana thinks 'Championship fights' should always be main event status. Instead of doing the smart thing and throwing Rousey on a Fox card, he's robbing us of two rounds of a potential war to give Rousey her two minutes needed to armbar this random chick they pulled out of the bag.

Wow, that truly does suck. Not only did they both get passed over for a title shot in favor of Chael but now they get buried on the card and are just a normal 3 rounder. They need to be pumped for the 205 division not just treat them as a toss in for a card.

And what if Rousey loses? Does Dana toss his shit all over the place or something?

Yup. I would've paid for the PPV to watch Machida-Henderson for five rounds. I won't pay for three rounds and a two minute armbar victory for Rousey.

Interesting thought. I would say 'it's MMA, anything can happen', but this is WMMA. Not going to see a random knock out here. It'd be funny to watch the bloated moneybags that appear in Dana's eyes every time he sees Rousey to deflate, crash and burn style if she loses.

5 rounds of Hendo vs Machida- strong candidate for FOTN, if it goes past three then that's when the real grit and determination starts to kick in.

The 205 division needs fighters to be known to the public and not co hosts to the Ronda show.

I would be more interested in a Primetime for Hendo and Machida than the Ronda primetime show- it'll be 20 minutes of Ronda and 5 of Liz per episode.

Exactly. I have no intentions of paying for a PPV when I'm cheated out of what should be the main even.

Just have to wait and see if the casual fan buys into it all when it's finished.

Who knows, I hope not. But I sense the UFC hype machine going into overdrive. PPV commercials on every channel, UFC primetime staring Ronda, the other chick (can't remember her name) will be in there in name only, as this will undoubtedly be 40 minutes of Ronda, and then maybe 20 minutes for Hendo-Machida (since uncle Dana is mad at them for declining to fight Jones on short ntoice), and whoever else is on the card. Shit, maybe Dana will land a spot on the Today Show like he did for so many Chuck Liddell fights.
