If you could change one thing about the UFC (from an operational standpoint) what would it be?

Title. Operationally, what could the UFC change about its format to grow the product even more or make it more inclusive? How would you justify the change? Example: Fighter pipeline, fan experience, presentation etc.

Simply the model of the way to watch their events sucks. If i could just drop 3 or 4 hundred so i could watch all the cards live,something along those lines, Id do it!

Withought Fight pass,following this sport would be a huge pain in the ass. Even a big fan has to skip events because its just not worth the money. I hate that.

Embrace the spectacle. This shit's as far away from a real sport as you can get. Ranking doesn't matter, titles don't matter, it's all about the money and the views. Quit with this washed out boring grey/dark tone garbage and give me screaming pride lady and crazy entrences back.

Presentation..

The commentary isn’t even HS pirate radio level.

I dont think Pride would do it if they ran as many cards as UFC does today. Also american fans dont care about this stuff,they just want to see fights. So its basically a waste of money.

remove WMMA

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Hire some radio guys as commentators.

 

[genecop]

I would let title shots develop organically, I would put the focus on fighter skill, not just rewarding the biggest mouth..

 

[Pliny Pete]

Hire drunk Oscar De La Hoya to replace Joe Rogan

 

[Jojomojo]

Bring back tournaments.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

Bring back the personalized shorts. The sport has looked like absolute shit for years now.

 

[CTE_Fan]

Go back to UFC-6 rules with no time limits, no rounds, wrestling shoes optional, and minimal rules.

This seems to be more a problem of the US broadcast rights. In Europe we pay 10 bucks a month for Dazn and can watch lots of other sports beside UFC ppvs.

I would revisit the weight classes.

130-140-150-160-170-180-190-200-HW

I dont think alcohol is the problem here ...

Go back in time and show Fedor the respect that the GOAT deserved.

People that think Oscar was on coke that night must not have much experience with coke, that was alcohol

You think a weight class between 180 and 200 would be necessary? In terms of current MWs i think most could fight at either

I've been meaning to ask, how did that whole thing fall apart again? I cant remember which side was being the stubborn one when they tried to reach a deal.
