Well they have a jazzercize instructor running the whole show.

Hahaha fair enough.

who said anything about high character or educated athletes?

calling some of the joes competing in the UFC "athletes" would be stretching it. the skill level is so low that its sad. the sport is moving back into the primordial soup. shouldn't things be getting better since 2008 or 2009?

So since I'm tired of arguing with you, please describe what a "skilled" fighter means to you.

There are a couple that raise the bar pal.

Cain, GSP, Pettis, Aldo...these are freaks...

Shane I'd settle for guys who were physically fit enough to go hard for 3 - 5 minute rounds.

Inconceivable!

Nah, Aldo gasses in half a minute or less.

Aldo threw a right hand in his Edgar fight. That shot barely missed but the right hand was so outrageously fast...it showed all his potential.

Matter of fact I think Ive never seen a faster right hand in MMA pal. It really screwed with me...

You're going to get
1) Athletes too small to play pro football/basketball
2) College wrestlers who have no other pro sports opportunities after school
3) Brazilians not good enough to play soccer

The bar isn't very high

I predict jaded vs #positive will be the theme for OT5.

By that logic you should love the lighter weight classes. Which I know you don't.

155# is the best. All the weight classes below are shallow as fuck.

-Former UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo has been signed by Bellator and will be debuting next month in the company's fall heavyweight tournament.

Kongo should easily be able to wall n' stall 29-28 himself into a fight against Volkov. Then it's a case of who uses their reach more effectively to pillow-jab their way to a 50-45 for the belt.
