Just goes to show though if you popular, you get noticed lol
Yeah, looking at the three fights before the Cowboy fight, three decisions
Perhaps he's not as good I originally thought. Bloody hype
Id love to get into UFC being a big boxing fan but i dont know where to start. Is there a weekly show? Do fighters have any say who they fight or is it done by ranking etc?
You've picked the best time to watch MMA. The main event of next weekends card is the best fight, at least on paper, in the UFC right now. The fight has been re-scheduled a number of times but it looks like it's finally going to happen.
There are rankings but they don't really matter. The rankings are decided by a pool of journalists who for the most part are very biased to fighters in their own country, so don't pay too much attention to rankings at present. The UFC was sold two years ago, the old owners used to use the rankings but the new ones not so much.
If I was you, I'd go back and re-watch the old fights. You'll learn loads about the sport and start to get to grips with the ground game.
