It's not that he has a differing opinion, if he doesn't like Tyson, so be it, but to say his fights are boring when he has won fight of the night in 4 out of his last 5 fights and his fights with Guida and Edgar were strong candidates for fight of the year last year.

Are you fucking kidding me? Machida is fun as hell to watch,and Sylvia has only had a few sleepers,and you cant blame him completly for those,you have to look at the guys he's faced. A very nervous/tentative Arlovski,Vera with a broken hand,etc...9/10 Sylvia puts on a decent show,as does Machida. Machidas like a puzzle when he fights,or a maze,and the more top comp he fight and beats,the more interesting I find it to watch him fight.

Griffin usually puts on an awesome show,but last night I was pretty bored with the fight..he cancels out any ground work with his takedown defense but then he doesnt seem to have finishing power on the feet,so the fight is reduced to a jab and dance kinda fight for the final rounds. The guys usually way exciting,but last night I was't to impressed with his standup. More impressed with that dudes cardio. He SPRINTS back to his corner after each round,and then runs circles in the cage after the fight. Thats pretty crazy,but overall the fight was kinda lackluster..

I'd like to see him fight Pellegrino or Diaz next.

Didn't he just finish Soko? Sigh Uber.

Lol, leave it to MMANews to turn a thread about Griffen being boring into a Machida thread.

He has the most boring style of fighting. He's great but he is boring. try watching his fights again. I'd rather watch Koscheck fight Sean Sherk at 170.

I personally have no room to comment that hasn't been said. Without attacking the OP of course. I don't personally like Tyson Griffen and I think he's overrated, but he isn't boring.

Yay! Rehashed post!

To me Tyson is exciting to watch. And he is at the top of the LW foodchain now. He will get better and has plenty of years left to do it. (sorry if this has been said I am just replying to 1st posts.)

DUDE NOT COOL!

I am a manager at a Dairy Queen.

I do NOT want Kalib Starnes as a coworker.

This op on this thread is an attempt, well... it is a bash on Tyson. There's NO comparison to be made between Tyson and Starnes, Tyson keeps showing improved boxing but the power is just not there, not to mention he's fighting guys bigger than he is and he's still finding a way to win on the ground and on the feet... If you don't think he's exciting fine, but why bash?

I guess Forrest is boring too for decision Rampage, I mean all he does is box... wtf is up with that right?

this thread is f'king retarded... If you wanted to know if Tyson deserves to be at the top of the division then just ask that question...

I hate Josh Koscheck, but he had the most exciting fight on the fight, I felt. I liked the main event, but I finally felt that Kos' gameplan worked for more than the usually boring decision-eeker. He did what he had to do.
