WEC 48: Nobody's Paying $50 For This LD

[jmt225]

300,000 buys I think would be a HUGE success for the show.

An embarrassment to pro wrestling though... not sure. I mean, at the end of the day, while MMA has the pay-per-view buys under their belt, WWE still kills them in ratings, so both have shit to brag about when it comes to their audience.

That's true, but PPV buys generate a lot more money, and is a better representation of how much your fans care.

I agree 300,000 would be a success, probably won't happen, but it's certainly possible. I hope the number come out some time.

Another Kid Rock entrance...amazing...and sad.

 

[Slyfox696]

I think WEC needs Faber vs. Aldo to go at least three rounds. Make sure fans get a show for their money. A knockout 1 minute into the fight would be bad I believe.

WOW get Benson in the UFC!

 

[Buffalo Dave]

I agree with Joe Rogs, the ovation for Faber is the loudest next to GSP!!

Your not watching JMT?

 

[Slyfox696]

It's not often you see a home town advantage in MMA, and ever more rare when it's against the Champion.

 

[Buffalo Dave]

it is fucking loud there!!

 

[Slyfox696]

A rather uneventful first round...solid action, but nothing of real note.

 

[jmt225]

Your not watching JMT?

Nah, I'll watch the fights tomorrow. I can't order two $50 pay-per-view shows so close together (I'm definitely buying UFC 113 in the next couple of weeks, which is what is keeping me from ordering this).

Yeah man, I don't think there's a city in the US that loves a fighter as much as Sac-Town loves Faber.

 

[Slyfox696]

Faber better find a ground game, because he won't be walking after tonight.

Agreed!!


Reminds me of Griffin vs. Rampage, with all the leg kicks

 

[Slyfox696]

Except Rampage actually looked like he had a chance in his fight. Faber has been dominated from start to finish.

 

[Slyfox696]

Faber's corner needs to just throw in the towel. There's no reason for him to keep fighting at this point.

Dan Hardy and Urijah Faber biggest hearts in MMA

 

[jmt225]

Even if Faber had a good ground game (and he does, actually), he still wouldn't take it to the ground. Aldo's a World Class Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. It's just he hasn't had a chance to show it in an MMA fight yet because his striking is so damn good. So, Faber just needs to find a way to land one shot, if he sticks in there. With his power, you never know....

Not in this fight. I don't think Faber could generate enough power to knock someone out right now. He has no legs.

Lol... I would not go that far with Hardy. He's tough, but you put him in there with someone like Nick Diaz or Jake Shields, he'd be put away in a heartbeat.

 

[Buffalo Dave]

Better luck next time Faber

 

[Buffalo Dave]

Well we def get the chance to see that very soon with Sheilds since it looks like he's coming in, especailly with that shit eating grin on White's face

 

[Slyfox696]

Nice...the Jung vs. Garcia fight again. Good way to close the show after the main-event.
