Anyone Else Think the UFC Needs the National Anthem?

Well what happens when GSP fights someone like Paulo Thiago or something in Las Vegas in the main event? Brazilian, then Canadian, then Merican? Forget all that. There is enough filler between action already.

exactly, i hate being at an even only to wait 3 hours for it to start tx to other shit going on

I just think it would honestly help alot of those writers that dont consider the UFC or MMA as a sport if when they were at an event they heard the national anthem before the main event.

Sounds nutty but could help people take the sport more seriously.

I mean really name a sporting event that doesnt have the national anthem before it? (other than mma)

baseball, boxing, hockey, football, basketball, shit even high school events have the national anthem. Couldnt hurt and the ohh it will screw up "Its Time" argument isnt that great considering Bruce lives in the shadow of his brother and the national anthem never screwed up "LLLLETS GET READY TOO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

those are held within the united states, therefore its alright while the ufc holds events worldwide and it would just look dumb IMO... not to mention all the foreign fighters in the UFC

dude you realize canada has basketball and baseball teams right???

Sorry guys, i dont get the complaints

Hearing the Phillipino anthem then the British anthem then the american anthem didnt ruin Pacquiao vs Hatton it just added to the pageantry
