If a delete button to delete your own comments can not be materialized
then a thumbs down button to delete other’s comments will be difficult to produce

No delete button is a great feature
Makes the poster responsible for checking what they say before posting it, and makes you accountable if you do. Boards that allow deletions end up leading to people going and deleting it anytime they say something dumb and get called out on it, so then the responder looks dumb instead.

true.
Zuffa has been stepping up recently… UFC 120 and 122 promos were a lot better than usual also.

I like this ad
Good to see them step away from the same ole
Its safe to say that without Playboy we wouldn't have MMA as we know it today. - Jonathan Snowden
Great concept for the ad....the song just didn't do it for me.
Maybe because Im in NYC and I here it fucking everywhere, but the song really took what was a great concept and visualization, and made it seem a bit trite and tired to me.
Nice promo, thinking outside the box for a change! I don’t think a Rhianna song really belongs in there though
It's a Jay-Z song....
…Rhianna just sings the hook. Granted the promo uses mostly just the hook but I digress.
And considering that the name of the song is “Run this town”, it’s perfect for this fight.
Think about Kos calling out GSP in Montreal, telling everyone where his after party was, etc.
I got chicken skin watching this last night.
I cannot wait for Struve to shut McCorkle up.

I actually have McCorkle in this one.
Struve’s defensive wrestling is not good at all and McCorkle is a big dude.
We just don’t know how good his cardio is…
Me2...even though im never real confident in Struve.....just not happy with his defense
But i would really like to see that e-thug Mcsnorkle get f’ed up. the guy got his shot via the internet…now its time to get serious….unfortunately he’s still spamming the forums.
Great ad...
Weak card…
Struve is the second to last fight?
Canadian fans are gonna get their boy and not much else in terms of stars. 125 and 126 gonna be nice tho.

Are you kidding?
Miller-Oliveira does nothing for you? A very sturdy test for an exciting prospect against a contender who is 7-1 in the UFC with his only loss being to Maynard.
Also a Muay Thai clinic from Alves against an opponent willing to stand with him will be good.
There are good matchups on the card sure… any UFC card has exciting matchups.
It just doesnt have anything that will have me emotionally invested in it. Last night I had goosebumps for the entire main event and for about four hours leading up to the Penn fight.
Machida, Rampage, Penn… all guys who’s fights I will not miss! Not a single guy on the 124 card like that FOR ME except Georges… and even that fight has no juice to me.
125 and 126 have about 5 guys on each card that I cant miss.

Pretty epic.
I lol at comain event status of Struve-McCorkle though.
Its a great lead in into the main event
Both guys never go to a decision. It’s going to be action packed fight that ends in a finish. UFC 121 with jake shields stinking up the co main event and nearly putting everyone to sleep before the main event was pretty bad.
Very true.
Since this is the case, there should be a lot of fights that should comain.

Awesome ad
and I’m excited to see GSP and Oliveira back in action, but the rest of this card is weak
I am jumping on the bandwagon, but I feel that Oliveira and Barboza are going to go far in the UFC Lightweight division. If we continue to see improvement from the two and they keep winning their fights, I would one day like to see Barboza vs Oliviera.

"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
I thought it was a fantastic ad
Very different and unconventional from the usual stuff they put out.
It's nice to see them doing something different
Yeah, the song is played out but this is still a step up from the stuff they usually put out. Now if only they would take a little bit of that creativity and apply it to their posters.
One of the best promo's ever done by the UFC
THIS is how you get the casual, mainstream fans on board.
People on this website knew about 124 and planned to watch months ago…this is a much more mainstream appealing promo than the usual formula of
‘announce names, show tons of fast, semi-incoherent highlights through an image filter and cut in soundbites from Rogan and Goldie having commentatorgasms’
I mean, I enjoy the hell out of that formula and it can be done well, but there are only so many possibilities. Something like this promo, that sells the storyline of the fight is much more effective in netting ‘the casuals’
CPG
Wow, the UFC made this?
That was good. I kinda rolled my eyes at the song at first but man it really worked.
"Do you find him to be, perhaps, sexier than the average human being?"
"I'm not gay, but..."
- Ariel Helwani and fan discussing Yoshihiro Akiyama
this promo would have been gold for Anderson vs GSP
still awesome though and that fight prob won’t happen anyway
"How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"
Considering these promos are usually just sweaty men boxing in the dark
This is a great great promo.

Struve-McCorkle isn't actually the co-main event, is it?
It’s got to be the weakest fight on the main card.
Yeah
That has to be some kind of joke.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad its on the main card.
I just don’t see how it helps draw for the PPV. I know they’re banking on GSP, but they don’t have to let him do it by himself.
No one else on the card can really do much better.
These guys have beef with each other. Makes for an interesting back story.

I like the ad.
Then again, I really feel there should just be more TV ads with GSP, in general. For everything.
Love the ad
Definitely thought outside the box to attract casual fans. Using a popular song as well was a bold and good move in achieving this.
Nice
to see the UFC not having the usual trailers. Now, replace the gladiator opening thingy with some new and creative stuff dammit!

one question
where is thiago’s face? did the UFC purposely excluded his face because he’s on the card as well?

This isn't realistic.
Josh would have drawn a mustache on Georges’ pic.

I disagree
I think it is oddly very fitting.
Funny as hell
The talent difference in the guys GSP is tearing off in comparison to Koscheck’s. Hazelett, Yoshida, Johnson, Daley, Trigg? Not exactly a murderer’s row.
Yeah...
because he lost to Alves, Paulo and won’t fight Fitch. Really no one else for him to fight outside of Condit, Hardy and Shields.
Has the UFC ever done a better ad for a PPV before?
Give me smallest finger on man's hand. I'll produce information. Computer unnecessary.
Nice trailer.
Now to see Kos’s head get ripped off.
I think this ad sucks. Seems really corny to me.

dope.
Nice little story in there with good production value.
I hope they do an aftermath promo with the loser’s head pic being ripped off.
by FighterHayabusa on Nov 21, 2010 11:34 PM EST reply actions
Definitely a nice change from the normal cookie cutter promos that the UFC uses to promote their shows. This may catch the eye of the more casual (or non) fan who will see all the faces of former opponents and think “Wow. This must be a huge fight.”
GSP’s picture of Kos should of had pieces of duct tape over it since he already soundly defeated him once.
