I know there has been threads on this but it would be interesting to have a poll on the matter.
So basically the new owners plan to reduce the number of UFC events to 30, essentially cutting a lot of the international cards out (Canada, Japan etc). This goes back to how it was in the 2011-2013 era. It is just the past 3 years the number of yearly events has sky rocketed to 40+.
Number of UFC events by year
2011: 27
2012: 32
2013: 33
2014: 47
2015: 41
2016: 42
2017: 30?
Is this reduction good thing?
Positives
More stacked cards
Negatives
Less fights
Reduction in roster - smaller divisions
Personally i am of the opinion that this sucks - the more cards the better. Even if it's a UFC Australia / Philippines card etc with little name value.
