See? you asked where's 2022 and there was the surprise, surprisingly, as amazing as 2021 really was, 2022 was better.

Anything involving Colby Covington is not that good lol.

As much as troublesome Colby was but that persona of his is what was making him able to sell fights.

The fact that he got a TS after beating Masvidal and nearly two years off is insane. One of the most privileged fighters ever, and he never even accomplished anything notable.

Did he sell fights? I honestly don't remember him ever being all that marketable.

"...And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”

Idk, I think it's still good, quality use to be abit more consistent but the rosters and viewership on the sport was half the size. With the saturated market, he seems abit more dull because the events don't feel as impactful, however we get more and more amazing fights every year, new stars emerging although the UFC don't build them like they use to and I think that's because they don't want to make another Connor, he ended up a liability for the UFC and future stars so they'll prefer stars like Jones and Poatan, machines they can control. On another note, as I said, we get many amazing fights on events that seem mediocre, for example just recently Motta/Sadykov or Van/Raw dawg. Hell even the RDR/Whittaker main event recently was exciting

yes exactly buddy he was selling 700k PPV like hot jalebis at Baisakhi Mela but later lucky if Waheguru bless with maybe 70k haanji

His gimmick run out of steam very quickly ji many will not agree here with you

Bro, Some women fights were/are entertaining, Joanna vs Zhang 1 put Yoel vs Izzy to shame, and despite Glover vs Jiri was more entertaining than the women fights, Zhang vs Joanna 2 was entertaining for as long as it lasted until one of the best KO's in WMMA ever happened when Zhang delivered that awesome spinning backfist to Joanna.

Also many of WMMA fights that when it ended in a finish, it ended in a very violent way and it was such wild sight, and also it happened on amazing cards too, like Rose finishing Joanna at UFC 217 which was one of the best cards ever if not the best, Rose finished Zhang at UFC 261 that was absolutely insane that had 3 title fights and all finishes on main card, Molly spinning elbow happened on Volkov vs Aspinall card that had 9 finishes out of 12 fights and all those who secured finishes won bonuses, Miller vs Brogan was on Santos vs Hill card that all 10 fights ended in a finish and had 100% finish rate since the Rockhold vs Bisping 1 card in 2014.
