I just ordered cable tv this week, so that I could watch the fight of Diego vs. Karo on UFN on Aug 17 , and TUF weekly, for free. Yeahhh.. go Spike TV ! Especially this coming TUF 4, with all the good fighters who fought in the Octagon before, and still getting better , it's gonna be one hell of a show.

Personally,other than Babalu/Iceman the entire card is like meh.........

I'm just not that interested in Bonnar and Griffin fighting again,and $40 is alot of money for me.I would buy it,but I'm way more exicted for UFC 63.So that's where my next $40 will be spent.

Karo vs.Diego I'm sure will be a great fight for FREE!!!!!

Not to mention I get to see Dean Lister for FREE!!!!!

I usually buy all the PPVs,but man they hurt my wallet.

I'm still getting both, and PRIDE FC!

They're making a huge mistake with UFC 62. There are a lot of things working against it;
weak card (so far)
free UFN/TUF, so people won't be starved for action
Couture vs Wandy. They're going to headline Chuck again in the fall

That last fight they add to the main card better be a big one. The last two undercard slots could help too.

For me, am I just as excited to see Sanchez/Karo as I am to see Liddell/Babalu. I believe Sanchez is in for his first loss and Babalu pulls the upset.

58 USA vs Canada was the last one I REALLY enjoyed.

59 AA/Sylvia and Ortiz/Griffin were entertaining

60 Liked this one for all the KOs and submissions. Plus watching Spencer Fisher and his flying knee was pretty awesome.

I enjoy all of the PPV's. Sorry, but that is true. Unless you want pro-wrestling, not all of the UFC PPV events will be spectacular events. Some will rise up to greatness, others will be average, some will be hard to watch. And, propping up UFN is just weird, IMO. There have been only five UFN, and I have only really liked one or two of them. And, TUF has been on a downhill slide ever since the first season ended.

IMO, the first UFN was weak as a hell, and ended with what was then called one of the most boring fights in a long time: Salaverry-Marquardt. As usual, the best fights were on the preliminary card and NOT on the main event card. That is something that MMA does over and over, and I hate that. Say what you will about pro-wrestling, but at least in their events you get the whole enchilada! Not a rip-off of main event cards that are less worthy than the preliminary cards.

I wonder what the Fight Night will be promoting this time. Last time it was Blade Blade Blade.

I saw the Liddell v. Babalu fight again the other day....I had taped UFC Knockouts 3 and 4 and it was on one of them. I just don't see how this upcoming fight will be any different. Babalu might be more cautious in avoiding Chuck's knee but caution sometimes doesn't help...ask AA.

i watch everything, when an event comes round im so bored watching all the uleashed and ufcold events they show here, i really look forward to any live (one day old) event for free. think its getting that popular here tho that sky will click on and start charging ( i work for them so i wont tell if u dont)

If sitting through hype about Spike TV is what it takes to get free televised MMA, then I'm all for it.

subgenius · 08-01-2006, 02:09 PM

Personally, I don't care if it is on TV or PPV. I want the whole damn show. The entire fight card. I want to see the preliminary fights as well as the main event card. The last UFN had a better prelim card than it did a main event card. I hate the way the UFC packages it's events. I like pro-wrestling, and I love the way that they show the entire event, not just a few good matches on the main event.

I really wish that MMA would take a page out of the pro-wrestling handbook and start showing the entire event from the first prelim fight all the way through to the main event. If KOTC can do it, then the UFC and PRIDE FC ought to be able to do it as well.

Fight Night's card does look better. It's a shame we'll have to pay forty bucks to see one fight.

I think it's definitely a shame we'll probably have to wait until October to see the Lightweight title crowned(at least that's if the rumors on mmaweekly.com are true).

Did someone just say Couture vs Wandy? Huh, Randys getting back in the ring again?

iainm232 · 08-02-2006, 02:21 PM

the 62 card is better although i think the sanchez- parisyan fight should also be on the 62 card.

I would agree with you when you consider the magnitude of the fight, but

I'd rather watch it for free!!!
