Ultimate Fighter finale on SpikeTV

[kinev]

Come on...that crap was Griffin/Bonnar part 2. Let's give the decision win to the guy with more "personality". It really pisses me off how the UFC is becoming more and more like the WWF. Bonnar and Lytle both got screwed because Dana and the bros. see Griffin and Sera as more "marketable". Granted, Griffin is a lot better fighter than Bonnar now, but Stephan won that fight.

Don't believe me that it's all about personalities? Look at what they made St. Pierre do after Hughes' fight with Penn. It was blatantly obvious that GSP was told to go in the cage and talk crap to Hughes to drum up anticipation for UFC 65. Only problem was that GSP is not a douche bag and he sounded like he was reading off of a cue card. It didn't sound like him, because it wasn't his idea and they weren't his words.

How can you score the fight 27-30 for Serra when Lytle had the only takedown in a round?!?! Watching TUF all season, it was clear who the "star" was. I was afraid that they'd Griffin/Bonnar Lytle in a decision, and sure enough they did.

P.S. Hughes by TKO in the 2nd and Sylvia by decision (will be boring).

No doubt that Griffin is the better fighter now. But, I've watched that fight like 5 times now and I'm amazed that the judges gave it to Griffin. Bonnar won that fight. It was close, but he won it. I truly think that the UFC is staged when it comes to decisions. I wouldn't put it past Dana and the Fertitta (sp?) brothers to fudge judge's results. The Ultimate Fighter was a product and they wanted a marketable "winner". That was Griffin. The guy's funny, charasmatic, and a good fighter, so the UFC would much rather have him be the winner no matter what happened in the ring. You could tell by the coverage/interview time that they gave to Griffin on TUF.

Enter Lytle/Sera. Same thing. TUF 4 was the friggin Serra Show. So naturally, the UFC wants the most "marketable" fighter to win. I KNEW that if it went to a decision that Serra would get the decision no matter what happened in the octagon.

And to repeat: How can you score the fight 27-30 for Serra when Lytle had the only takedown in one of the rounds?!?! Easy.....just WWF it.

That's the way the fight game works. The Contender was the same way. The people who are running the show are looking for a personality to stand out whom they can groom. Also, someome who has a perfect record going in will get all the breaks from the judges too. It pays off later for the organizers.
