ld like to see edgar vs aldo... just to see frankie get fucked up trying to pitter pat his way to a W as per usual.
If I recall, and I do, CHAEL SONNEN CHALLENGED ANDERSEN SILVA THAT THE LOSER OF THEIR TITLE FIGHT (IF HE/CHAEL GOT ONE) WOULD LEAVE THE UFC. YOU LOST CHAEL, PISS OFF BACK TO STRIKEFORCE FOR A WHILE LIKE YOU AGREED YOU WOULD DO.
Now Chael Sonnen is calling out Jon Jones with similair personal attacks. To quote Jon Jones
"Dude, you’re not worth my time,” said Jones. “Earn a title shot instead of trying to talk your way into one and I’ll be glad to hurt you.”
What is Dana/UFC thinking allowing Sonnen this bottom of the barrel scraping.
Sonnen is fighting Forrest now. He's moving up to LHW. Should be the new years card.

Maybe i am missing something but for some reason it seems the UFC is on the decline....
For me i dont understand why they have some fight cards that appear so poor, i mean they have 8 weight divisions, so that mean IF they hold a UFC PPV event once a month each weight class can have at least 1 title fight per year with some 2, then you have all the other fights on the main card and reserve the undercards and Fuel TV events for the lesser fights.
If seems to me they have spread their wings too wide and are now trying to make the fuel events big earning events where they should be used for lesser known fighters to climb the ladder and become contenders and save the PPV events for the bigger names. This way IF there are injuries or a fighter pulls out from a card for whatever reason you have enough depth to be able to cover them and still have a big earning and decent fight card.
discuss?

I don't think you're 'missing anything', but I don't agree with you. I agree wholeheartedly with Steve Barry, who writes for MMAConvert.com, when he said overnight:
"...as lame as it is that Jon Jones turned down a fight with a middleweight, it's really the UFC's fault for having to cancel UFC 151, not Jones or Jackson. They've simply spread the talent too thin across too many shows. UFC 151 was super weak under the main event. They've lost main events before at the last minute but at least had some promotable fights to carry on with. Would have been the same here if they weren't already spread so thin..."
Injuries are part of this sport. They *will* happen. The only thing the UFC needs to do is build their second tier card into a more manageable operation, for every PPV without exception.
Seems odd that jackson and jones wanted to turn down sonner but they're happy with belfort.... Both who are going to come in pretty under sized and belfort hasnt really done much / anything of note in the UFC......
