Ye sure ppv numbers are tanking so hard because of some wmma fights...They tanked with or wihout wmma fights.
They put good fights on prelims probably to please Fox. That's whole story. New TV deal new rules I hope so.
Actually Waterson on main card is good move, she got as many followers as combined fighters mentioned by TS.
Why Japanese rankings were not tanking when Rene Kubota fought?
Actually fighters like Teymur, Kolse, Al, Felder, Alex, Yancy have to be on free tv to get more exposure, they won't get it on main card bought by 200-300 k ppl, but on free tv where they will be watched by 1M.
