Did ufc decline start with the Reebok money?

Original decline happen years ago in 2011 when Lesnar was on his way out. The UFC only got more attention again in 2014-2016 because of Conor and Rousey. Once they vanished the sport sunk back in.

As soon as the Frank and Lorenzo decided they were going to sell it went downhill. The new owners have just doubled down on the bad decisions.

what reebok money? all I ever heard about was fighters feeling underpaid in comparison to their previous sponsors.
either way, the reebok deal was the start of the extreme penny pinching movement by the ufc. everything since has been wme trying to get returns on that insanely steep 4 billion dollar investment.
