Those captured moments in time that always do well with an interesting stamp on the moment for the annals of the history of it, so did the Pride walkouts. These are not.
People hate the Bieber/ Lil Wayne/ Broner/ Mayweather crap, they remind them of matches that don't live up and clusters of highly irritating people doing highly irritating things.
Yes Gracie train was huge at the time. Tito's fights from events 30-40. Chuck at ufc 43 then the ramp disappeared. Since then the only one I can think of is Diego yelling yes over and over.also BJ running in at ufc 34.
Love this shit.
He put a lot of work into those, those I didn't mind, he was all about living up to it in his fights.
There was an organic quality to the Gracie train UFC 30-40 Tito entrances.
Recently and in Boxing and last night, those feel FORCED, just completely overcooked drivel finding some rapper to butcher a track live and an entourage of weirdos. Although Pacquiao making fun of Mayweather walking out with Kimmel dressed as Bieber was clever but that was as a result of reacting to the crap Money does.
I will much rather take a boring walk-in and a fight for the ages than shit fight and a walk-in for the ages.
Need more of this for sure IMO.
I know what your saying. I like to think because its kind of a new thing or call it trying to bring it back there will be a bit of trial and error until they can find what works for the fans now. O hope each one gets better. Kens was awkward, Kimbos not so bad, cool to see his old clips on a big screen.
The screen is good, no issues with that, it's a staple I think is good in any situation. It's the celebrities and their additions to the situation I never seem to find works at all and just comes off as "Well we're in X city and X thing is X, so get Mc Thirdrate or some singer and some wrestler people sort of don't even remember under a certain age now."
WWE does that with their events, they get some local terrible musical abomination and other than the 50 people up front who actually like both the event and the shitty artist have hit mute or gone for a piss.
It wasn't a work like a Takada fight. It was more like a jobbing. I feel Ken has jobbed most of his fights in the last 8 years. He goes in like Bob Sapp or Shannon Ritch and puts people over. There's just something too theatrical about his losses and he's an experienced worker. The smaller shows I believe he's just shown his age, but for the big shows I'm convinced he's diving. Franklin, Tito 3, Sak, Kimbo were almost certainly not on the up and up.
People were insanely annoyed with Anderson walking out with and hugging Seagal, regardless of the ongoing debate on his actual effect on Anderson's training.
Like, the Aldo vs Conor fight is almost 99% guaranteed to live up, so I would not be opposed to dressing up the walk-ins for the circumstance in an organic way. Just because over the hill and rolled down it Ken is on your event is not something that deserves the most dressed up walk out of the night to me. Like Kneeblock alludes to it's getting to the point of celebrating the Bob Sapp school of MMA by doing it now.
I'd be much more impressed with a very focused direct "Killer look in his eyes" Ken running down to the cage he's so anxious to fight and prove people wrong.

He's gotta think about that cardio.
lol true dat, and really, in the end unique walkouts are something that if you do it every fight, you ruin it as a tool. It should be something for highly anticipated moments in the sport or someone who creates a demand for the walkouts like Tom Lawlor's Weigh-ins or Sudo's crazy shit, not freakshow rehash or questionable paydays to me unless you are making an event of only freakshows and overcooking the entire thing. I find going minimal is less of a minus than going too overboard becomes.
In hindsight that was Awesome..R.I.P MASK
At this point, Kimbo has no knees at all. I wasn't surprised with how easy he went down.
