I find the article weak at best and I'm not sure I get his point or really agree with him at all. Although we can all admit the weekend show was not where Pro wanted to be any issues are all very fixable going forward and we all can bet TJay and Rich will make that happen.
The Main Event was a poor one as much due to style mix and these days it takes alot to make Tim Sylvia Fight exciting as it is but to be honest it may have been much more interesting with Pedro Rizzo as a much more experienced Fighter he may been able to draw the Fight in different direction changing the whole outcome of the Fight, the perception of the Event and therefore the Event. So the Sylvia Fight was probably expensive for what it was but by no means do I or should anyone think Tim is earning what he was earning a few years ago and yes a lesson learned in terms of a Card or for sure Main Card until things change for him and how he fights.
Arlovski again a huge name still huge draw and don't think for a minute anyone who has seen the Fight is not interested in seeing more after Highlight Real Finish to the Fight, if only to seen what is going to happen next and with that in my view earned his money and lets not again forget he is not earning what he did few years ago yet still has huge fan following. I personally will be happy to see more.
The formula the author speaks about as that they should have used in Prospects was the one used with 9 out of 11 Fight being all Prospects.
The weakness was in my view was maybe too many Prospects leaving with not enough depth to make it interesting and as with any Prospect they still have some learning to do and it showed, mind you some did shine such as Jake Heun and Evan Cutts with others who did show potential and lets not write off Penn and Ellis just yet as everybody loses at some point and they have the potential to shine. Lets just hope they got their losing out of the way and will work on the weakness in their game, I expect the next showing of these guys to make up for any issues they had this time around and again they fought very capable opponents so our hats should be off to them.
I again think the mix was not where it could have been and few changes could have changed everything but lets all give them a break it's only show #2 with many more to come. I personally would also have much more of middle much more like the last show which was very successful overall so they are not doing bad at all being still right out of the gates and the race ain't over yet. The UFC as other have stated have had lots of Events that were as weak or weaker easily. This Event showed Great Production and Great Potential that all anyone should need to know and everyone should watch for next show as I expect them to come back hard to make the point clear.
