Like who? They’re being used to sell tickets in Australia for a lousy card that they will want you to buy on PPV. It will very likely not be set for TV because A) they will want to sell tickets off it in Australia B) its an irrelevant fight. But they have irrelevant fights all the time. Was anyone here really pretending that Baroni/Sadollah was important or that either guy “deserves to be there”?

Furthermore, its a false claim that they’re keeping guys off the roster. Neither one will probably come back. That whole claim is BS and you know it. They’ll be more than willing to sign the guys they want, but they’ll make examples of guys they really don’t care if they have (the Joe Riggs of the world) to “prove” otherwise.

Zheroen said it better than I was planning on, and Fluyid touched on what I was going to say, but I will add to both comments I guess. The problem with UFC using Haseman and Sinosic is that it takes spots away from deserving fighters. And what does it say to other fighters who want to make it in the UFC? Be a wacky Croatian-Australian with weird-colored hair and you’re in, even if you have a losing record and haven’t had a victory in almost three years? The UFC is black-balling fighters who are signing on with EA Sports MMA and from making a little more money via sponsors that Zuffa doesn’t like, and they decide to use these guys? As I said, I can digest UFC using Haseman, but Sinosic? No way!

People here bash DREAM and Sengoku for using bums and freak-show fights, and same deal with Strikeforce, but UFC can get away with it? They should ALL get whatever flack they can get. And here’s a great question……we all know Sinosic’s pro MMA record is 8-11-2, but what will UFC say his record is? No way will they admit that number. His UFC alone record is 1-5. That’s even worse! Hey, UFC came up with a phantom 11-1 record for when Royce Gracie came back to fight Matt Hughes, and for Matt Hamill’s record they use his TUF fights, so I am sure they can come up with something.

Having said that, I hope Elvis suffers another monumental beating.

Oh well, there are plenty of UFC shows coming up in 2010.

The UFC guys like Sinosic, it’s as simple as that. I don’t see the problem with it as long as the fight doesn’t lead to either of them getting another fight in the UFC….
