Does anyone find the UFC boring. They have no stars or storylines. WMMA..

I am definitely less interested than I used to be in the UFC. I fell asleep during 304 and didnt even rewatch the main event. It doesnt help that it turned out to be a stinker.
 
I don't watch for the "storylines" or "drama;" I watch to see the best fighters in the world compete against each other.
 
You get some right whiny weirdo on this forum

Just enjoy people fighting

All the rest is bs
 
No worries TS, in a couple short months, Brocktober will be here.
 
So many of these same whiny threads lately mother fuckers don't watch!
 
Sherdog should have an AI responding:
You are right! This is how you join a suicide cult instead of boring our fine forum with another thread about this.
Jesus Christ! There are better ways to have an middle age crisis then this for you people!
 
The storyline of Leon completely icing out Belal as Masvidal did to him and getting wrecked when they finally met was hilarious. Even better that Belal is so rightfully maligned for being well, himself really and the last person Dana ever wanted to wrap the belt around in that division

The second you said story lines your entire opinion of MMA became worthless. This isn't fucking wrestling.

Now the UFC has some great fighters but no great storylines or drama. This makes the whole UFC boring, there have been ma y cards I have not even bothered to watch.

Wmma without any stars is just a dead division.

UFC has become stale. They need more stars, more drama, more storylines.

UFC has most turnover in all of sports.
Only sport that people get into for about 2 years, and then never watch again.

You dont see that with most other sports.
It feeds on Suburban guys who dont want to actually fight, but want to give the illusion that they do.
 
I find its more of the presentation and highly selective fighter pool were given

I think a lot of that is team sports have the whole "how will my city/state do this season?" appeal which has more mileage and isnt as dependent on individual stars. With MMA it rests pretty much entirely on having stars, fights and cards that people are invested in and providing entertainment.
 
It's not as intriguing as it used to be. What do you expect with so many more events?

it's not completely necessary, but it helps A TON. back in the late 00's early '10's, the fertittas when they were still running things, actually tried moving the ufc, and essentially mma as a whole, way more into pure sports than entertainment when they first moved to fox. i actually remember a few first fights where they showed a bunch of pointless stats like they do in baseball and football, and i told myself this shit isn't going to last lol. mma is not like those ballsports. it's just not.

in a way, and it's kind of sad, the truth is that the action during a fight plays second fiddle to the emotional investment fans have to the fighters fighting. guaranteed if donald trump and joe biden were fighting on one corner, and valentina shevchenko was fighting zhang weili on the other, to use the old dana metaphor, which fight are you gonna watch?
