Bad night of fights for the most part, Francis looked awful, another UFC hype train, I wasn't buying Rogan proclaiming "he's a once in a lifetime athlete", based on what exactly?

I ALWAYS try to buy into the hype, that's what makes it fun to watch!
It's like watching wrestling, but the non pre-determined outcomes makes it even more exciting. But if you are too analytical about it, it just becomes technical and boring (to me anyway). I guess that can be fun in a way, but I'd rather just sit back and enjoy hype trains crushing opponents (Conor) or crashing and burning when truly tested (Francis). If you want to be super technical, you don't even need to watch UFC, you could watch any league, any skill level.. There's no hype, just guys fighting. If you like that, all the power to you. I'm not going to argue against it (though these hardcore fans LOVE to)
For instance GSP's win over Bisping. Not exactly a technical masterpiece of a fight. He'd probably get destroyed by ANY other fighter in that weight class. But the STORY he told by coming back and winning the title.. THAT is what makes it entertaining!
