UFC71 Sucked! All of the fights were boring. I was looking forward to a good show, but was disappointed. Leben is high thinking that his fight was one of the best.

Why is Chris Leben still being put on cards? Has he ever won...why are they still hyping him? He's a joke.

Better yet, why are all these bums that were on the reality show (who apperantly only get a contract with the UFC if they win) being put on cards? It's funny how that's still how they promote the show. Keith Jardine? What is that?

Didn't Lebon have a 16-3 MMA record before yesterday? I know that it's impossible for all of those fights to have been in the UFC (he only won the show 3 years ago), but that's what his fight card said if I remember correctly. I think he's a good fighter, personally. Interesting personality if nothing else.
The main event blew. Following the disappointment that was CroCop VS. Gonzaga (6 minutes?), this can't be good for the UFC. A lot of people are gonna feel ripped off after watching these last two events.
When the hell are they gonna get Fedor on the card???

Jardine is no joke. He's had some great fights, but I think his day is over.

I dunno if you meant to say he was on the show 3 years ago, because he certainly didn't win. They even brought him back to the show after he had already lost his first fight on it because someone else got injured and couldn't compete, and he lost again.

Yeah, I guess Jardine is alright....but again, another guy with a UFC contract after getting beat on the show. There's at least another 8 guys in the same boat. Im frustrated by that, stop saying if you win the show you get a contract, and if not you go home.

I think they say that the winner will get a six figure contract (plus endorsement contract).. it doesn't say that the other fighters (who prove worthy) can't get smaller contracts.

Here's a question, why does mma seem to attract the most immature and uninformed fans of any sport? Just look at the comment section of youtube videos and you'll know what I mean. This discussion is so pleasant in comparison.

Who would like to see a Fedor vs Cotoure match up? Fedor vs Gonazaga? Fedor vs ??? I think he's the most exciting and complete mma player there has every been.

Fedor is the best ever, period. I don't care who he fights next, I just want to see him in action soon.

Chris Leben is good for marketing the UFC but I agree that he hasn't gained the skills to be successful yet. His antics are good advertisment though. When someone that isn't familiar with UFC or MMA sees a clip of Chris Leben trash talking, they get interested.

Coture doesn't stand a chance against Fedor. Right now, nobody does. That said, even Fedor isn't immune to being KO'd. I think Crokop should have beaten Gonzaga but got caught. Thought Gonzaga was going to the ribs with the kick and ended up with a hard foot across his ear-hole... Shiit happens and it could very well happen to Fedor. Doubtful, but never say never.

Did you end up seeing K-1/EliteXC Dynamite!! USA this weekend? Now that card was a joke.

Did anyone see UFC 70 I think? Where Mirko "Cro Cop" got knocked out by some unknown. I never seen anyone get knocked out like that. His leg was all twisted when he was knocked out. It seemed like his whole leg was bent 180 degrees. It was so devastating. But later he was walking.
