I agree with you, and sometimes I get suckered in to the whole marketing, specticle side of it, but at the end the fights are never at the caliber when you get two no nonsense guys going at it. What I found really pathetic was what Shamrock said to Tito at the end of the fight, something about "its all cool, this is a business we just got paid". Maybe Sharmrock isnt such a stupid guy after all, he just trashed talked his way into getting a fight, b/c I doubt anyone cares to see him fight competatively anymore. This is why UFC pisses me off sometimes, with these useless fights.
This is why I think that Silva vs. Franklin is probably one of the more significant fights in the UFC as of late. You have one of the best PrideFC/Chute Boxe fighters going againt a UFC champ. I'm pulling for Silva on this one, they're calling him a striker, but he's got incredible Ju Jitsu, and I'm sure Franklin wouldn't want to test it. They're both extremely well rounded fighters, but I think Silva may have the edge, however Franklin always seems to nullify his opponents somehow, so definetly not to be under estimated. As for predictions, I'd say Silva by submission in the second round.
