Yeah last night mostly sucked. Pacquiao/Margarito was much more entertaining, even if it was a one-sided beating. It was cool watching fighters that can actually throw a punch for a change
Okay, c'mon man. Boxers are the best at boxing, shock. But there's no point in decrying the striking skills in MMA for someone who has the knowledge for why MMA striking doesn't look like a boxing match.
That bit was just tongue-in-cheek -- though I have to say that I AM pretty much done with MMA outside of the top 10 or so in each division. Watching the Jose Aldos, Cain Velasquezs, Shinya Aokis, Anderson Silvas, GSP's, etc is easily as awesome as anything any other sport has to offer, but the influx of lower tier "well-rounded" (read: wholly average and unremarkable at every discipline and will remain so forever) guys just bore me to tears lately. Like seriously, it gets to the point where I'd even rather be watching
baseball or something. I mean I understand that there's always going to be a huge talent gap between the middling fighters and the best of the best, but does it have to be SO goddamn huge? Is that just the way it is?
Maybe the problem is just me and my ever-shortening attention span.

Rampage is fucked.
There was almost identical footage of Anderson with Seagal before his fight with Sonnen. I remember Seagal made Anderson address him as sensei looool. I still don't get if it's like a big Brazilian joke and they're all just clowning on the poor guy or what
