There's zero mega stars & almost zero big fights on the horizon. It's crazy. Aspinall doesn't even really have an opponent now.
Everybody just seems a much of a muchness. Like, Belal just won the title but fighters like him grow on trees. There's nothing special about him. The sport is saturated with dull grapplers trying to win decisions.

I love this, Belal has given the upset of the year.
Last year it was Sean and Adesanya.

Yeah and nobody cares because it's dull as ditchwater. Except Muslims of course, who are happy "their guy" won. But if a white guy cheers for a white guy, he's racist.

Maybe it’s just the normal cycle of things… the fans getting into now will reminisce a decade from now how the fighters are no longer like (insert name of current fighters), and things were better…
…that being said the Pride Era (and UFC under the Fertitas) was the best

Time to get off the internet & stop watching the news buddeh, go outside and touch grass.
Completely agree. And this comes from a guy who will actually drop down money for a card that really gets my attention. There's nothing on the horizon that besides the Sphere event that im hyped about.
Every company has their ups and downs and anyone that defends a crappy product cant complain if it stays that way for a long period of time.

The alternative is dismal PPV sales in the U.S. I really don't get this complaint. Who gives a fuck about the crowd when most of the cards are at the Apex now?

Only thing better in the past was other promotions building up fighters before they got in the UFC. Now they just come straight to the UFC. Kinda need a wec, strike Force, pride, ifl, to build up some fighters. Pfl seems to focus on fighters at the end of their career. One fc has some good talent but seems like they are content with fighting over their

I went from "shit eating wildman" to "watch the highlights the next day" a few years ago. I don't think it's me getting older, it's just not exciting anymore.
Whom are they

Part of it is the UFC's long-standing tactic of promoting the UFC more than the fighters. There are so many divisions and so many cookie-cutter type decision machines.
The UFC used to be an antidote to the boring decisions in boxing but it's simply gotten stale as more and more fighters points fight.
