WHY!? Are they trying to bore the hell out of Fox audiences? May as well rehire Tim Sylvia and put him up against Jon Fitch in a freakshow match.

Well they can't because their contact with versus is up since they signed the deal with fox. Though the cards for the first UFC on FX and UFC on Fuel TV 1 are looking good.

I like both guys but I just don't think it will get a big rating on Fox though.

Fedor update, he beat Jeff Monson by UD (30-27 x3) on Nov. 20th to get off the snide. Somewhere someone cares.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

And people say wrestling fans have short attention spans. Well Spanky tell me something, does a win by the guy who was the best fighter ever and is still a first ballot hall of famer beating a lifelong 2nd or 3rd tier HW via Unanimous decision impress you? If he killed him in like a minute I'd be more impressed, winning a fight 30-27 over a 40-year-old man doesn't get it done.

I'm just saying, the turnaround from "best in the world" to "has-been, who cares?" is remarkably rapid in the MMA business.

Plus Fedor was really only a big name to some of the hardcore fans, the casual fan didn't care about him and those hardcores who did care acknowledge that he's lost a step.

Well, Munoz punches like a gorilla and finishes pretty often. Sonnen now has the troll jitsu. Could go quickly.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong signs(again, very new to MMA), but am I the only one who sees big things in Johnny Bedford's future? The dude has seriously impressed me everytime I've seen him fight during TUF, and especially last night.
