Quantity over quality. The new & crappy UFC model. From looking forward to a card to looking forward to skipping all of them.
UFC = U FIGHT CHEAP
Ok, 23 of 41 fights are at LW or less, size matters, these smaller cheaper fighters are just not as filling.
UFC has a potential of 24 title fights per year that means 2 title fights per PPV, but not a bantam and fly weight on the same card! Also Rousy makes up 20% of those title fights!
They’ll soon open up the SHW division aka/Brock vs can show.
In this day and age where Bader vs OSP is a main event…amazing
UFC 177 ¯\_(?)_/¯ on PPV!!
Middleweights: Lorenz Larkin vs. Derek Brunson
Lightweights: Ramsey Nijem vs. Carlos Diego Ferreira
Lightweights: Danny Castillo vs. Tony Ferguson
Ladies 135 pounds: Bethe Correia vs. Shayna Baszler
UFC Bantamweight title match: TJ Dillashaw vs. Renan Barao
LOL c’mon! time to cancel another PPV along with…
178 Demetrious Johnson vs. Chris Cariaso
Heh, just give up ufc! Your stars are all gone no big fights this year, your little guy headlining ppv experiment has failed, but you do it again because thats all you got.
You have set the bar WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY too low, and now you got Shayna baszler in the co-main event on PPV. Great kof koff(blow)job!

Ladies 135 pounds: Bethe Correia vs. Shayna Baszler

Ufc is hurt very very badly! Boy are they praying for cain and vitor to stay healthy!! but what can they sell on the other two ppvs?
This next quarter Bellator can narrow the gap no problem, even put on another PPV or two.
If ufc can run travesties like 177 178 and get 100,000 Bellator can trot out tito rampage and the boys for the same or better.
I wouldn’t be surprised if coker was able to put together couture vs fedor!
