Re: Ot: Ufc 200
at 8x sales what a steal for the cash cow.
move from ppv to contract cable tv is good too.
could generate a bil/year in revenue in a few years if all goes well.
very good deal for everyone

Re: Ot: Ufc 200
Based on what I've heard from Dave Meltzer and others, Punk is going to get demolished by the guy they matched him up with, who apparently isn't even that good either. Everything I've read from everyone that's close to that situation but not a hype/yes man basically says he's awful.

The thing is Mickey Gall is a BJJ expert, which for guys new to the sport is a worst case scenario for a first opponent. Remember Frank Mir easily doing work on Lesnar? It's just such a unique part of the sport that it's difficult to prepare for without a lot of training/amateur bouts. Once Lesnar learned his craft adn got experience he dominated Mir in their rematch using his strengths.
I think that will be a similar outcome with CM Punk."Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: Ot: Ufc 200
Fedor was well past his prime when that fight took place. That is universally known and acknowledged. And just as you pinpointed that I mentioned two fighters, of the two I mentioned and the reasoning behind it, you only came back with Fedor. And didn't even mention Cro Cop in your most recent post. Fedor had already had a decade reign. That's a lifetime in the business. The idea that you watched just as much of one as the other, doesn't mean you've watched a significant amount, because during that 10 year run, Fedor faced UFC talent on several occasions.

Re: Ot: Ufc 200
Punk will have a better chance with BJJ than Lesnar. Lesnar was always going to have issues. Guys who go against BJJ without experience in it, usually panic. The panic leads to the tensing of the muscles, which is actually what a BJJ fighter will use against you. It greatly diminishes the time that you can hold off a submission hold and your chances of slipping out of one. It's hard to use brute force against BJJ, because it's such a smooth ground technique of fighting.
