In a perfect world

[Joseph_McBride]

The UFC could actually put together a few big ppv cards in a row that are as captivating as UFC 241.

(*not actually booked)

243, OCT 5th:
Whittaker vs Adesanya
Kelvin vs Jacare 2(insurance policy)*
Yaquinta vs Hooker

244, NOV 2nd:
Jones vs Blachowicz*
Usman vs Colby
Nate vs Masvidal*
Walker vs Corey Anderson
Lewis vs Ivanov

245, DEC 14th:
McGregor vs Gaethje/Cerrone*
Max vs Volkanovski
Nunes vs GDR

246, JAN 11th:
Stipe vs DC 3/Ngannou 2*
Khabib/Poirier vs Tony*
Anderson Silva vs Robbie Lawler*

A lot of these matchups are interchangeable in terms of what card they would land on. It's simply to show the kind of depth the ufc has & their potential for big ppvs for this particular OCT-thru-JAN stretch.

Currently all but 2 of the remaining FNs have their main events. Brazil & South Korea remain but that should be easy, Something like Moraes/Munhoz for Brazil & Zombie/Ortega for South Korea with average filler below.

Of course Feb & March ppvs might suffer, but Cejudo & the 185 champ should be ready to defend by then. Shevchenko & the 115 champ can continue as FN main eventers. Yoel, Greg Hardy, LionHeart & other popular names returning too.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Perfect world = Pre USADA imo.

Let these guys use the best medicines and regulate it.

And they should do shorter cards if they have to be weekly. 4 hrs every Sat is enough. These 6 hour lineups every weekend make it feel homogeneous and forgettable.
5 big cards a year, 2-4 cards a month and try and market fighters instead of those 3 letters.
Less is more and they've almost ruined the interest in cagefights via their goal of making MMA and UFC synonymous

In a perfect world Prime Anderson Silva fights Jon Jones.
It's a draw.
Then a NC because they get flagged.

 

[Iron Nick]

In a perfect world, Jon Jones (or any other fighter that has ever p*ssed hot*) would not be allowed to compete again.

*except if the fighter can prove that it was a tainted supplement or sth. I'm not sure if this really is a thing though, as Michael Bisping said he was never really careful with supplements and still has never popped.

 

[Grapplefest]

Stipe vs DC/Ngannou would never headline over Khabib vs Tony. That's the biggest fight the UFC can make right now.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Stipe vs DC/Ngannou would never headline over Khabib vs Tony. That's the biggest fight the UFC can make right now.

Lmao no it's not. DC vs stipe would for sure headline over it

 

[Grapplefest]

No casual knows who Stipe is. The only valid reason it would headline is because the heavier weight class.
