If anyone has looked at this weeks events, they'll note that MMAPlayground has corralled UFC on FX 4 and UFC 147 into 18 fights. Due to time constraints, I'm assuming that it's best to stick with this for now, but it's officially the final push for me to join those who wish to leave MMAPlayground in the coming season and beyond. Perhaps MMAPG is doing this because they feel that TUF Brazil's being under the radar leaves many pickers at a loss. I don't see how this is much of a justification, seeing as the UFC has posted the episodes on their website in full, making the fights even more accessible than TUF Live and previous iterations of the show have been. Well, maybe this is stretching it a bit far seeing as I don't have cable/satellite and live on the internet for my entertainment needs...

Regardless, what makes it strange to me is that MMAPlayground places such a premium upon their Hot Bout, which is often contested between the less known fighters. All along MMAPG has celebrated the difficulty of picking such obscure fighters and fights, but then they throw this curve ball at us.

I'm curious how everyone else feels about these shenanigans and if there's a way to bypass this for future events if we decide to stick with their website for seasons following? As stated, I'm throwing my hat in with those who wish to leave MMAPG for greener pastures, but my primary purpose for posting this was to hear other opinions.
