Jason -

honest question. Are there examples of this out there? is there another big mma website you can go to after a fight night and not see the results of what happened on thier forums or news?

I think the issue isn't the forums but having the result in the headline. Maybe it would be a compromise to have 'TUF 17 episode 4 result' as the headline? Didn't bother me but I can see how it'd be annoying if u didn't know Phone Post

It's true (and I often times do the same), but it isn't the only solution. Phone Post

It's been pissing me off, tuf airs here 6 days after the us.

I'm always on here but it is going to limit my traffic.

Of course the discussions have to take place But when you are catering for people from all over the place there should be no results in the title. Phone Post

Once again, just lol.

Solution's pretty simple: DON'T COME ON THE UG UNTIL AFTER THE FIGHTS HAPPEN ON YOUR SIDE OF THE PLANET.

It's the UG's job to report MMA news when it happens. It's your job to be a bit smarter and avoid coming on here if you haven't seen it yet.

It was an accident checking, i was looking to see about wrestling stories and It was the top story. I just don't think it should be the title Phone Post

Accident or no accident, that should tell you that some way, somehow, you're going to stumble upon the results.

Like I said, use your common sense and just stay off the UG until you know who wins. It isn't hard to do, just be patient and show some restraint.

So if i know who's in the finale its ok to post it here ? Or will you be a bunch of stupid butthurt cunt pussies then , look the tuf fight results aren't that big of a deal so why not post the results either in the discussion thread or when it has aired outside of murrica its not that fucking complicated. Phone Post

Who the hell is acting like a bunch of butthurt pussies? Oh that's right: the OP is, along with the rest of you bitching about the results being in the title

Once again, stay off the UG until you watch the episode. It's called self-control. Honestly, I could give a shit if they stop including the results in the title, but it's called common sense for a reason. You say it's not that fucking complicated, yet the same could be said to you.

UG's job is to post news. You don't see other news articles titled,"Guess who won at UFC 156," do you?

Fuck, Jason already hit the nail on the head with his post.

If you guys can't understand what he's saying, then that's on you.

It's an easy fix. Guess it depends if the site sees itself as US only or international. If International accept that different countries have different air times or even days.

Don't put the result in the title. Ta. Phone Post

I know, right, it's so fucking stupid. Not that there was a spoiler on the front page, but that somebody would really come to a mma news site to trying to avoid spoilers. Phone Post

Not only is this AN MMA NEW SITE, it is a United States based MMA NEWS SITE. We indeed of course are growing internationally and hope to continue to do so, but 95% of our audience is US based.

Could you imagine ESPN.com waiting to announce the winner of the superbowl until all countries had a chance to watch it?

You also have to remember, there is a large portion of the news audience that DOES want the results right away from here or other news sources, rather than wait to watch it on the DVR later. Many times when I just can't watch the fights for someone reason or other, I still want to know the results, rather than wait to watch them later on DVR.

The Super Bowl is an American sport. MMA / the UFC is a global sport. Therin lies the difference. Ask Dana if you don't believe me. So stop making it sound like its the rest of the worlds privelidge to watch this great sport of yours when the UFCs expansion plans going forward revolve largely around the rest of the world, ie not the US.

Following your logic, why doesn't Dana just tweet the results straight after the show? It's already been aired in the US and some people would find the info genuinely useful so why not right? Most of his twitter followers would be based in the US too. But he doesn't because he gets it.

As for you saying that a simple mouse-click is too difficult for you to get see results that really is entirely a matter for you and your concentration span...it's not like we're dealing with commodity prices on the stock exchange here - I think you can wait 5 seconds while the page loads after you click the headline. Phone Post

I guess you don't follow the UFC on facebook. They'll post the results not long after the fight happens, including title fights. That's something to legitimately bitch about. Having an MMA match spoiled on an MMA site is not. 2 completely different animals. You're too busy trying to belittle people on a message board to pay any attention though.

Bottom line is that no one wants to know the outcome before they watch it , it can easily be avoided and the site gets more traffic , its a win for everyone and PLEASE prove me wrong ! Phone Post

Nothing more needs to be said on the matter. Just stay offline until you watch the fights.

How do you know the site would get more traffic?

I would think it would remain the same, considering those of you who lack patience would replace the people actually searching for results, as they'd be tempted to click on a link that actually states who won in the title.

First of all we are not talking about actual fights , just about the tuf:s and why is this such a big deal to some of you ? It was a suggestion and a good one to. You don't want to stay of this place and neither do a lot of other users.
The problem is easily fixed and everyone gets happy.
There is no reason whatsoever to have the result in the title , end of discussion. Phone Post

There is reason, you're just stubborn to accept the fact that Jason's right. Again, refer to his post.

Fights, TUF results, etc. You know what I meant. It all comes back to the title regarding TUF. 

It's not a big deal to me at all, which should prove just how dumb it is for any of you to be pissed about this subject. Stay the hell off the UG until you watch the fights and know the results for yourself! It's that simple

lol@"end of discussion." Again, stubborn, refusing to understand their reasoning behind placing the results in the title. Amazing.

Honestly dont see why the results have to be in the title itself, its definetly spoiled more than a couple things.

And the way that everyone is jumping on eachother over this is rediculous. MMA has taken a lot of time to drop the meathead connotations, after seeing some of these posts apparently theres still quite a bit left to be phased out and to be frank, its actually a little embarrassing.

Is you who can't look at it from another's point of view

And two questions
1: is it necessary to have the result in the title ?

2: Would mma.tv have more or less users using the forum if they didn't risk getting the results of the TUF fights as soon as you start the app ? Phone Post
