UFC on FX discussion

Soild performance from Ross.

Only got to see the fx fights. Really good show.

That was a fun card. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI !!!!

I wish one of u were here to punch me in my face! I tuned in just in time to see ross vs soto, and see Paul Harris vs Lombard just happened. I really wanna bang my head against the wall right now for missing that and seeing the outcome. I honestly had no idea fights were on or that fight was tonight. I still don't know if a bellator card happend either. I need to get my shit together!

There were 2 fights between Lombard & Pearson, but overall a solid card. UFC needs to get their shit together and realize Mendes is a bad dude and belongs on main cards only. He'd be in P4P convos if Aldo wasn't such a dominate champion.

He's actually shown some standup in his last 2 fights albeit against suspect competition. He's interesting in that he's already gotten a shot at Aldo but really hasn't faced any of the other top guys in the division other than Koch a few years ago when he was like 21. A lot of routes you can take with him

Omigawa was highly ranked when Mendes beat him. Swanson is a vet and a nice W. The lighter divisions still seem a little less established as far as who's who so the rankings change more often.

I hope tonights card is just as entertaining.

According to Pearson the reason he hates Soto is because he fought with his boxing coach during the show, he also claims that boxing coach knocked out Soto.

Quote :

The main card average of 972,000 is down from October's UFC on FX 5 card, which averaged 1.1 million viewers. But the FUEL TV prelims more than doubled from the prelims for UFC on FX 5, which averaged a series low 44,000 for the card in Minneapolis.

In UFC on FX 6's main event, Ross Pearson (14-6 MMA, 6-3 UFC) knocked out George Sotiropoulos (14-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in their fight following stints as coaches opposite each other on the second international edition of "The Ultimate Fighter," "TUF: Smashes." On the same card, Hector Lombard (32-3-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) picked up his first UFC win with a devastating first-round stoppage of Rousimar Palhares (14-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC). Plus, Robert Whittaker (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) won the "TUF: Smashes" welterweight crown against Brad Scott (8-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC), while Norman Parke (17-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) outpointed good friend Colin Fletcher (8-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to win the lightweight tournament.

Prior to this past weekend's event, the five UFC on FX "fight night" broadcasts averaged 1.24 million viewers. The high-water mark came with UFC on FX 2, which took place in Sydney this past March and averaged 1.4 million viewers for a card featuring the start of the UFC's four-man flyweight tournament and a welterweight bout between Martin Kampmann and Thiago Alves.
