I haven't been on this site for about 5 years and in that time a lot has changed
in the world of mma.UFC is now a household name and they have done a good job of getting the sport recognized throughout the world.My only question now is who has the control where is the commission?Who regulates the likes of the ufc nad thier practices.Many regular people think the ufc is mma!
which i think needs to be rectified asap.When buffer say's the uFC champion of the world it's so annoying are he ufc the equivilant of the WBC,WBA or IBF in boxing?If so is ok to be promoter also?Looking out for certain fighters should be part of thier job,just because dana likes someone.That's just not professional,and could be one of the things that prevent mma from really taking over from boxing.
The reason i'm writing this is because Dan Henderson's last fight from my knowledge was a loss to ramapage and he's awarded with another title fight?
I have loved Henderson for many years and i have always believed he was the best american fighter on the planet,but what was the justification to him getting that fight?
Now look at the situation with rampage he fights Liddell and beats him which you can guarentee didn't make Dana very happy and his reward was fighting henderson next.Talk about don't do me any favors,you couldn't find tougher opponent than that when he deserved a fight with an up and comer like they have done in boxing for years.Chuck thought he got an easy fight with a guy who had previously gotten knocked out in two minutes (kieth Jardin) and lost.That was justice as far as i'm concerned because jardin was obviously put there as a stepping stone for liddell to get back into the ring with rampage.
I just got a lot of issues with the way Dana does things ,sets up the people he likes and has created his own "good old bot network".
