UFC Heavyweights Options

[Bargod]

So, what's your opinions on the newest season of UFC Heavyweights? I think it's mostly crap that they would let Kimbo (the beard) Slice fight after all their crap saying how he wasn't a real fighter. I appreciate the "you have to work your way through the ranks of the UFC TV series first, but its crap. Either he is the type of fighter you want or he isn't. I say let him die his post internet fame death and be done with it.
Then again, who wouldn't like to see Kimbo Slice fight Brock Lesnar in the "who is the biggest douche bag" fight?

104 was great.
At the end of the fight I was leaning towards Rua too. While I'm a huge Machida fan I would have been fine with Rua winning. The guy was amazing in Pride, glad to see him back in top form because the UFC LHW division needs more new blood like him. I for one don't buy into all the internet hype about how Rua was robbed. It could have easily went either way. After watching the fight a second time I can see why 2 judges gave Machida the 1st 3 rounds, don't have a clue why the other judge gave him round 1,2 and 4. The 4th was clearly won by Rua. So by my scoring it would still have been a split decision for Machida. Now I'm sure I won't change anyone's mind but here is the reasoning behind my opinion.
I think the commentary unfairly favored the fight towards Rua.
People are mistakenly scoring the fight as a whole an not 5 individual rounds.
Not enough credit is given to Machia's strikes during the earlier rounds which several times resulted in Rua trying to take him down.
All Rua's attempts at takedowns were stuffed, he doesn't lose points for these but it scores points for Machida ( octagon control ).
Very little credit was giving to the well timed knees Machida delivered every time Rua tried to rush him.
Ultimately I could see this going either way but it certainly wasn't a clear victory for Rua. I'm looking forward to the rematch.
Sadly something else which may have been a factor is the unspoken reasoning some judges use, where the belt doesn't change hands unless it's a clear victory. Fighters know they take a chance when they leave a fight in the judges hands. Rua himself said said he could have done better in the later rounds but didn't risk it because his corner told him he was winning.

Bad stoppage in the Velasquez vs. Rothwell fight even though it looked like a clear victory for Cain.

I'm a fan of Joe Stevenson so it was good to see him show up ready to fight. There for a while he was turning into a gate keeper.

Great card overall, Hell of a lot better than the next two main cards.
105 Randy Couture Vs. Brandon Vera , I like Couture but give me a break he lost his last two fights, this is not a main card event
106 ORTIZ vs GRIFFIN, Should be a good fight but it's not worth of a main event.

Sadly TUF is still sucking ass. I want to like Ramapge but he is without a doubt the worse coach EVER. Then to top if off, he's talking shit now against the UFC. He's showing his ass now talking shit about how fucked up the UFC is after the 104 event. Total freaking hypocrite, one of the more talked about bad decisions was between Rampage and Rua's brother Murilo in Pride. Rampage defedning the win even though everyone else said he should have lost.
