UFCbeatdown88 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Aside from lyoto rua there are no great fights from 103, 104, 105. These are either big failures or they will bring alot of money in. This could be the worst stretch of Ufcs ever. 106 looks amazing though!!

ArcaneKnight Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 People were saying that about 102.. Look how great that event turned out.. If anything, I think 102 opened up the doors for these events to do well. Made people realize that these cards dont need to be filled with big names for them to be exciting. Im sure for the masses, Randy Couture was the only big name on the card, but I'm sure everyone felt they got MORE than their money's worth with last night's event. How do you expect to develop new stars if everyone thought like you. The UFC wont last if they rely strictly on their current stars. They'll grow old and retire. Give these fighters a chance, Im sure a lot of them will make a fan out of you. That way the next time a card comes along with their name on it, you'll be saying how great of an event it will be. It's up to you though, I'll be enjoying the fights regardless if the big names are on it or not. You can go ahead and wait until 106 to watch another UFC event. I'm going to be enjoying all the MMA coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCbeatdown88 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 i think 103 has potential but cro cop vs dos santos has to come thru n 104 cain vs rothwell also has to come thru but 105 doesnt look as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollingStoned Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Sooo you mean to tell us that you're not excited to see Vitor's return? dos Santos-Cro Cop in action? Kos-Trigg? Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson? Spencer Fisher/Joe Stevenson? Okami-Sonnen? Terry Etim? Bisping get KTFO again? or BJ's title defense? Gimme a break...

Potential? what is not to like about Rich v Vitor? Swick is always exciting and kampman will give him a good fight. Kos v Trigg will be awesome. someone will go to sleep either by KO or Choke i gurantee that. Tyson griffin v hermes. these two fighters are always exciting. even the prelims look like they will be good. when are you window lickers going to relize your favorite fighters cant fight on every card?

I like watching big names just as much as anyone else but I tell you what those little known guys are looking to make a name for themselves and are often more exciting than the big name fights.

fighter9399 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 103 looks amazing. Frank Trigg vs Josh Kos is gonna be one of the better fights of the year. Vitor vs Franklin is going to be awesome. I think it is going to be hard to live up to UFC 102 though because that card was awesome if you are a true UFC or MMA fan.

Amateur Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Dooooom and darkness! Doooooooooooom I say! 102 was supposed to be this lackluster event - and it may very well end up the best event of the year. Doom and Gloom FTW~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be....Vitor Belfort is back!!! Only someone who doesnt know this sport would nay say a Belfort fight.....Franklin will be knocked out by the First round. Plus on that very same card, you have Mirko Cro Cop vs Junior Dos Santos and The Return of Frank Trigg vs Josh Koscheck....thats just ufc 103. 104 is going to rock, when Shogun knocks out Machida. 105 Bj Penn vs Deigo Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdusty Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 i try not to judge just based on the names. keep in mind that all the greats out there were at one time unknown guys. just watch the fights with an open mind and then dish dirt on the event here afterwards. you never know whats gonna happen. did you think 102 would be that good before hand? AK just made the best comment in this thread....bet you didnt see that coming either. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJMahler Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I look forward to seeing Belfort KO Rich Franklin most of all... The 103 card is stacked. You have Vladdy on the undercard, Paul Daley is making is debut, Jim Miller and Efrain. You must be a UFC follower and don't keep up with other talent in the world. I'm like many people pumped for 103. 104 has Okami and Chael. AJ is back, Joe Daddy vs Spencer, Sherk vs Tibau, IMO Sherk's last 2 or 3 fights have been pretty exciting.

Maia.. Marquardt... Nogeuira... Couture.. Jardine .. Silva.. how many big names can be in 1 card... every1 should of expected amazement.. i would of payed for the ppv without the headline.. and btw Couture vs Noguiera is in my opinion fight of the year..

Remice Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Im super siked for UFC 103 personally, Cro Cop vs Santos outta have some fireworks flying, I havent been siked for a card like UFC 103 since 100 now. Lots of great greats there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSanta Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I am also excited for UFC 103..It is looking like a great card. We will see if it can top 102 which in my opinion was one of the best ppvs of the year. It was at least the best out of the 100's for sure. 103 looks great. 104 looks good. 105..eh but what will the main event be. Oh and how can i forget the UFN. That also has a great card. I dont think Shogun/Machida is the "most exciting" fight for the next few cards. In my humble opinion Dos Santos/Cro Cop, Velasquez/Rothwell, Franklin/Belfort, and Swick/Kampmann are all more exciting than Shogun vs Machida....but thats just my opinion.
