John Hancock Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 This is tonight! Seems like the 18th event this week, UFC is really starting to lose it's specialness for me with all these constant events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 It says on the poster that it's on Sunday and in the first post that it's on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm a dummy, the press conference is tonight. Ignore my ramblings. As for the poster/OP mix up, the poster's Australian (only one I could find with the right pictures, because the main event got changed), and I guess, because of the time difference, it technically starts on Sunday in Australia, but, for us in the civilised world, it's Saturday night.

The Beltster Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Pettis just has Hendersons number, he had no trouble finishing him at all, it looked easy. Pettis is great. Pettis/Aldo! Get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yeah, I wouldn't mind a bit of Aldo/Pettis either. Not all that sure what the fuss is about with Barnett/Mir. I mean, yeah, the stoppage was early, but it was only a matter of time, Mir was out, he was limp and had no guard. Josh could have got a good two or three shots off because Frank could do anything about it, and then it really would be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I thought the stoppage was fair too, it was probably a flash KO but that's still a KO, and when you've been punched in the head as many times as Frank Mir has it's probably best to try and save him from more. The show itself was actually really good from top to bottom, one of the best cards of the year in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Pettis/Aldo! Get it done. Ariel Helwani, who knows absolutely everything, is saying that the current plan is to do Pettis vs. TJ Grant, because the UFC's apparently interested in seeing what their absolute minimum buy-rate is out of morbid curiosity, and, if Pettis wins that, it's Pettis/Aldo. Speaking of buyrates, UFC 161, which was headlined by Evans vs. Henderson, two legit guys, did 150,000 buys. That's f*cking WWE numbers. Everyone is hopefully roundly embarrassed. Silva/Weidman "only" did like 500,000 too (Silva/Bonnar, which was basically a public execution, did 400,000, and Silva/Sonnen did 900,000 by comparison), and Aldo/Zombie did 170,000. UFC 100 was a looooooong time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beltster Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Lots of shows, less huge names, loads of titles and so on all add up to lower buyrates. I've been enjoying the shows though even if they are coming thick and fast. Another show tonight, thats 3 in 1 week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Having one tonight seems crazy. There's waaaaaay too many, I used to watch all the UFC shows, but now I can't keep up, which means there's now plenty of maincard guys I know absolutely nothing about.
