Thats so bad for 2 title fights and the return on Chael Sonnen...I know I didn't buy this card and went to the bar, maybe most people were watching from their local bars instead of home for this one!

I guess UFC 137 won't do very well either. Tough year for the PPV buys.

@crumx, so what do you do then? I like going to sports bars. I like shouting and having a beer in my hand.

I liked it better at 9pm. There was time for a nightcap or a quick rendezvous after. When there is a ppv i am completely preocupied with it, and i can not be distracted by anything until it concludes.

@lbj6 I was thinking about going to this local bar to check one out but figured if I'm sitting in a bar I'm gonna be spending more money then throwing my buddy 10 bucks and going to his house even though its a 45 minute drive

I mean, the stats don't lie, there are MANY more KOs in the heavier divisions and whether we like it or not as MMA fans, that's what the generic audience member wants to see. As many people getting beat up as possible.
Though we may enjoy the technical game or the tactical striking of guys like Jose Aldo or Nam Phan, the mass audience will never enjoy those decision victories.
Sad but true.
