Davrum Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sage looked fine in the first, won it pretty easily I thought. Was like a fish out of water once on his back in the second though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People aren't "butt hurt about a video game" they're "butt hurt" because a pretend wrestler that has no MMA experience is given a rating commensurate with people who are actually talented and are able to perform at a high level in the sport. MMA fans don't have to accommodate this make-a-wish-foundation freakshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will safely assume with great confidence that not one person in this thread is mad that pretend wrestling is more popular than MMA. Punk obviously doesn't deserve such a high rating but it's a fucking video game, it doesn't really matter "butt hurt" fans. Just watched the replay of the Kovalev fight, he punished the shit out of Pascal. Shocked it wasn't stopped in the 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I was really looking forward to seeing Rumble let loose, but sadly it was not to be. Over far, far too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumble vs Jones will be interesting and as a Jon Jones fan very nerve wracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSP Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah, seriously, wtf was that about? MMA is pretty much the only sport I follow at all. Pretend wrestling is a bunch of lame, poorly acted soap opera drama. The fact it is more popular than MMA maters to me not one bit. "Rasslin" has always been, and will continue to be, more popular than a lot of stuff that is better than it. Just like pop music. Who cares? CM Punk is absolutely unproven as any kind of MMA practitioner. These new UFC games are trying to be somewhat authentic. How do you get any stats on somebody who has never fought for an authentic game? Not a point I care about, I'll probably never play the games, but I can see why some fans were "butt hurt".

Don't see why it wouldn't. It was already scheduled before Jones got suspended. He will beat DC and that's the fight to make. Jones says his 3 fights left at LHW are DC, Rumble and Gus.

Gears of the Beast Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Benson Henderson signs with Bellator. Didn't see that coming since the UFC bent over backwards to prevent Melendez going there, he must be getting paid a shit ton. He'll probably lay waste to lightweight/welterweight although Will Brooks might be able to give him a good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means they are making CM Punk the lowest rated fighter, which seems pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 85 still makes CM the lowest rated fighter. Here's what I'm getting at. When people see his rating is 85 out of 100, they immediately get indignant, because he has yet to prove himself. I get that. The truth of the matter is the scale is 1 - 15, and he is a 1. Sounds about right, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right, no? Lowest rated fighter in the first game. You're forgetting that the game doesn't include the the ~500 fighters on the UFC, just names big enough to be in their game. You're acting like 1 point less than Mark Hunt is a fair rating for someone who has zero professional fights and zero amateur fights. Ignoring people like Rafael Natal who wasn't in the first game but has 14 fights in the UFC and wins over people like Uriah Hall. 85 is their lowest rating because the game only has really good fighters in it. Phil Brooks is not a good fighter, he's not even a fighter at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When fans like me see that he has a 85 rating on a UFC game we say 'wow that's ridiculous what a joke'. Then this guy has the gall to deride us for 'getting butthurt over a video game'. Again, we do not have to accommodate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
