Quote of the Day

"That the bout is being met with indifference is indicative of an increasingly spoiled audience. How would they have reacted even a year ago to the knowledge that two champions from competing promotions would resolve longstanding rankings confusion -- on free television, no less?" -- Jake Rossen of Sherdog commenting on the upcoming Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Dan Henderson title fight at UFC 75.

Hard to disagree, no?

I think Zach Arnold put the definitive smack down on you guys at Fight Opinion today.

Eh, he also encouraged readers to call in.

And while I'm sad about losing the Pride belt, I'm more referring to how great we as MMA fans have it. The unification of the Pride and UFC lthvywght title on FREE tv?

This was the stuff of dreams a few years ago.

This is very true. And honestly I think the business strategy for UFC 75 has more to do with breaking into the British market than the ratings on Spike. Wonder how that HBO deal is coming along?

Re: Quote of the Day

Talk about not having anything useful to say! Where does this guy get off making a sweeping generalization like "Judging by the auspicious silence from MMA fandom"? Did he conduct some sort of poll to come up with this assumption or did he just pull it out of his a$$ so he can write column about it. Slow news day???
