So hey I have only seen 1 fight so far (Mir VS Nelson). The first round looked awesome! Both guys were banging, Mir was using the clench and really tossing knees! Big Country looked sluggish (as usual) but was still throwing his over hand right. I think it connected once.. but it was more of a graze shot than anything. So I was pumped.. we were going to see a KO in round two.. well.. NOPE. There was an awesome throw by Mir... but the rest was just them laying on each other for the next two rounds. I became super frustrated. UFC has changed a lot in the past 2 years. No one really stands and bangs anymore. I don't think there is really enough incentive to do so. Most guys are totally happy with a big first round and then just take it easy for the rest. They try not to get too beat up and still get paid.
Now I'm not saying that it should go back to the bloodsport it once was but nothing is exciting anymore. It's all hyped up going into the event and then... let down. Don't get me wrong there are still some guys out there that are entertaining. Rampage Jackson for instance is hilarious! But he isn't KO'ing dudes like he used to. I haven't watched his fight but I heard that he tried to knock out Hamil but Hamil just kept trying to take him down.
We'll see.
