mmamac Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 after 40 minutes of ufc on versus, i had only watched about 2 or 3 minutes of fighting. three of the five fights ended when a fighter quit and not one by submission. they had to go to an undercard fight to get a dramatic ending. then there was jds, the one bright spot of the night. i thought versus' first time out, they would have been planned it out better. when it was over, i felt like a girl on prom night, UNSATISFIED!!!

What do you mean by quit? Also, how can you blame Versus for this? They don't plan the fights, they just broadcast them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroZeN Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 People need to stop complaining about it. They put it on for free and you guys still complain. STFU and just watch the fights. Yes the fights were all short but the card was mostly pretty good. Like the guy above said, they don't plan the fights, they just show them. Not anyones fault.

boon1406052403 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 i brought it for $10 i can complain!!!! lol didnt show it on tv here. i enjoyed it, but was a bit unsatisfied. i like to see fight go to decision, if the fight has a reasonable pace, get to see more of a chess game. but like i said, i enjoyed it. bones, the cool haired black guy (cbf getting his name, you all know the guy), sakara, jds all impressed me a lot with there performances. just the point deductions, controversy over the 2 fights with eye pain (both ended fairly, but was a unsatisfying end to me), paul b tapping out add to it been unsatisfying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe0518 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 The idea we should just be happy cause it was free is bull the ufc and versus both made money off tonight from the ads and the card was lack luster before the night started not one legit star on the card for the first fight night on versus closest was Clay Guida and he was on undercard a perfect main event would have been Couture vs Coleman at least then it would have been free and not a joke of a main event at a ppv and created a good buzz for ufc on verus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRoye Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 x2, like i said earlier, u have the choice. Either watch or dont. i liked every fight. Its a chess game, not a easy pong game to win. It takes skill technique, skill and everything u need to become a champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, they already had a one hour lead in show before the actual show ever started. If spike had done it, we would have seen 6 or 7 fights instead of 5. Versus has to take responsibility for poor programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroZeN Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I see what you mean, they did have way too many ads and all the pre fight interviews just made it longer...but then again it's a free event, what else did you expect? Dana White to hand you his superstars that bring in HUGE bucks at PPV? I'm not trying to flame you or sound rude, just being a realist here.

mmamac Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 i was very excited when i saw the card. it was very good from top to bottom. i guess i expected too much and have been spoiled by spike. in my opinion they have set the bar pretty high.

Tonydixon2 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 They should have shown the damn Guida fight I heard he won by Arm triangle and got submission of the night, but hey it was free and besides the endless commercials I was quite entertained JDS and Jones are no longer just hype to me they are real contenders in my eyes.

Nezripper Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 i just cant believe everyone *****ing. so what there were a lot of adds. there were great fighters, and finished fights. there were ko's and tko's people. stfu. its like when there is a card where all the fights went to the judges, everyone *****es, and then a card happens where most of the good fights ended by ko or tko, everyone *****es. make up your minds, or stop watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These threads would suck if everyone agreed that everything and every fight the ufc puts on is the greatest and when do most people complain about a card when good fights end with ko and tko people complain when they have seen spike but on a good show with a bad card but versus put on an awful show with a bad card could have at least shown the Guida fight instead of squeezing every dollar out of advertising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
