Wayne H asked:


Matt ‘the Terror” Serra beat George St Pierre fair and square. I do not dispute or argue that fact. What I am asking everyone is what they think of the credibility of the UFC and the direction they are taking. They have yearned to be a professional sanctioned entity yet they are following a mixed path of wrestling, boxing and commercialism. I know it is all in the name of entertainment and the almighty dollar and my cable bill every month shows how much I enjoy the sport.
A ‘reality show’ contestant that gets a chance at the welterweight belt without beating the top contenders? A scheduled contract fight between one of the most recognized fighters and the president of the organization? The last UFC had a Mariachi band, a fighter entering the ring with a silence of the lambs mask, and hype hype hype. What is the future of the fastest growing sport in America?
