Yep, the product has been slowly but steadily declining and this year has been the worst in a long time. I think most fans would agree with this generally speaking. Eventually this is going to lose them a lot of viewers, can’t put on a majority of cards that have little to no interest and expect to flourish for very long.
It's an unsustainable model, long term. The Fight Pass promotions are just gonna keep crowning champs fighting for vacant titles, and those champs are gonna be weaker and weaker. Hell, they already have been, but they don't care, because most of them also manage said fighters, so rofit from them getting to the UFC.
Their decisions have already damaged them. Choosing to go full MAGA has already turned off a chunk of the audience, and then the actual business decisions are just making long time fans not even angry, it's making them apathetic, which is worse.
They're back to talking about airing across multiple platforms. Yay, more money per month to watch the events.
Dana is a hollow figure head at this point, and it's painfully obvious. When he was making decisions, he was all about defending them in media scrums. Now he does what he's told, and rather than defend his decisions in press conferences, he slowly replaced the actual media with podcasters and influencers who just ask fluff stuff.
LOL, it's the same trash elevel of figters from DWCS clogging up the UFC fight cards. Only difference on DWCS is they're incentivized to fight like idiots to get signed. Fuck that series.
Thanks for the reassurance man. It was kind of a rhetorical, cynical statement but just... thanks for caring.
Trash fights are trash fights. A finish in a trash fight is still a trash fight
Fucking retarded, Dana with all the wrong moves. Except Power Slap of course, that shits taking the world by storm.
So you stopped watching past season 2, then.
"Hey you know that thing nobody likes?"
