This is the second straight PPV where the UFC needed to fill an hour due to KOs in its scheduled fights. The fact that the UFC must show either Facebook fights or Spike Prelim fights is understandable especially for UFC 134 where the fans were rabid for all fights. However, doesn’t it seem like you should get more for your money? After all, 1) the filler fights were shown for free earlier in the evening; and 2) the fights were not deemed PPV worthy. How should the UFC address this? Could they show main events from past PPVs? For instance, wouldn’t folks want to see Silva vs. Henderson from UFC 82.

I was satisfied. The entire PPV card was awesome, and with MMA awesomeness isn't always a drawn out 15 minute contest. There were good prelims we got to see also. I got exactly what I paid for. That being said, I will alwade be an advocate for all fights being on the same broadcast, 1 long PPV instead of 3 viewing modes through he night.

I see your point, especially when considering the $45 paid for the event by a lot of people. But remember they showed all prelims for free via FB or Spike. So, while I was unhappy with the PPV portion for a lack of competition, they did give us a lot of freebies...

I mean time isnt always the biggest thing in PPVS though. I would rather see 3 quick KOs like we did than see 3 GSP vs John Fitch fights just to fill time.

I want to see more Guida vs Sanchez, Griffin vs Bonnar, etc. Those are fights! GSP fights suck because it is 5 rounds of watching one guy torture another. A quick KO or 2 a night is fine, but there were way too many, so it didn't seem very compeetive. I guess I am saying I would like some variety...

Man this is terrible. Too many finishes is no good, not enough finishes is no good. Those knockouts were total upsets in some cases and crazy in others.
