For those of us who tuned in all the way from the Facebook prelims to the Spike prelims to the pay-per-view card, UFC 129 made for a long and sometimes repetitive night.
There’s not necessarily anything wrong with that. A good knockout is still a good knockout the second (and third) time you see it, just like ‘UFC Central’ is still an ‘MMA Live’ rip-off whether you’re watching on a laptop or a TV. But am I alone in feeling just a tad overwhelmed by it all?
When you attend a live UFC event, it’s a full evening’s worth of entertainment to begin with. But when you sit through it all from home and still end up rewatching several of those fights again later in the night, at some point they all blur together in the mind. Granted, the UFC can’t assume that its entire audience is hardcore enough to tune in early, but at a certain point it becomes difficult to keep straight who did what to who, and when. Or maybe I’m just easily confused.
Now that we’ve all had a while to digest and decompress Saturday night’s action, let’s look at the big winners, losers, and everything in between after UFC 129.
