I've always been cynical of overly cheerful analysis, because it generally throws one thing out the window - logic. "Economics? Reality of fighter pay in MMA? Understanding Zuffa's promotional structure? We fans and writers don't need to care about that!" My first piece on the issue (http://www.headkicklegend.com/2011/3/12/2046711/ufc-purchases-strikeforce-dana-white-is-completely-full-of-it) was totally overdramatic, but it was designed to be that way. The tempering of fan hysteria is something I've always been a fan of, so that's why I wrote the piece. This one will be much less dramatic, but not much different in content because - surprise! - people are still ignoring simple facts and simple reality. It seems like most people are saying a variation of "Everything's gonna be great!"

No it's not.
