I think there are some good fights there that will be entertaining.  However, the UFC is definitely losing old fans as fast as they are gaining new ones.  I don’t care if  they are on every week or not.  It is always your personal choice if you watch or not.  Frankly, I have not been watching all these fights.  Quite honestly, there are too many of them and they are not all entertaining or fun to watch.  You know, it’s just too much of a good thing.

I enjoyed Coleman and Couture in previous fights, but they are the main draw and both are definitely pass their primes.  I think Serra and Trigg will be a good fight too, but they are also both on their way down not up.  And even though most of the other guys are pretty good, they aren’t worth watching.

My friend said they need to have a tournament like Pride used to have to mix it up.  I have to agree with that.  You get tired of the same guys fighting each other and it is hard to justify these new names fighting the champions.  If UFC was smart, they would have kept Pride FC alive and could of had UFC vs Pride fighters.  Now you just have a handful of recognizable UFC fighters and a ton of up and coming rookies.

The UFC 110 looks about as entertaining as this event.
