2011 Off topic thread(basketball,movies,etc whatever)

We had MMA more than 35 weeks in 2011, I think. I am hoping Bellator on Spike will raise its profile a bit and give us a few more events from them.

[Ludo]

Well we had 43 events between the UFC and Strikeforce this year alone. 27 UFC events and 16 Strikeforce. If a whole new division is added thats another 15-20 fighters which allows for more fights per month(and maybe more free fights).

With a whole new division I could see 8 more UFC shows this year, especially Fight Night and UFC on FX/Fox shows.

15-20 fighters. An interesting figure.

I've been wondering how many guys the UFC is going to bring in initially to kick off the flyweight division. I think there has to at least be 20.

I just hope they don't take fights away from the normal sized people to make room for these 125 pound freaks.

Well if there aren't at least 15-20 guys it's not really a division at all more than it is a top 10 list that says "fuck Tachi Palace".

[SPX]

There are definitely 15 to 20 guys. They'll need to take the best fighters from Tachi and Shooto, and then have a few BWs drop down.

I think the untold story here is the effect that this is going to have on the Bantamweight division. I mean, it's already somewhat thin.

I don't know. It might just seem that way because the champion is dominant and has taken everyone out at the top already. It may also seem that way because two of the biggest names at Bantamweight will definitely be dropping down.

Would be a good idea. . .

What's he "pondering" the shit for? From what I understand, he didn't want to go to WW in the first place.

Only allowed to do what Uncle Dana lets them do .

[SPX]

Well then how the fuck is he "pondering" it? He can either do it or it's not an option.

Hoping if he gets it out in the open Uncle Dana will allow it.

We will definitely have more MMA now with FX, Fuel, and Fox shows.

Finally got caught up on the end of season 4 of Breaking Bad, and if you aren't watching this show, I don't know what the hell you are doing with your life.
