Does the sport seem lack luster since USADA?

[KevinLee]

Does anyone agree or is it cause im watching Nick Lentz? Fights have been lack luster.

 

[UL]

no

the UFC is dying

 

[binny]

They headed in a bad direction before USADA.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I haven't seen a good fight in the UFC since like 1997.

 

[Vanillagorilla91]

Yes. Would much rather have Jones, trt vitor, Brock, jds, .

 

[Marc A]

Nah it's the bad matchmaking

Fights have no significance

 

[jojoRed]

Hey im watching a boring fighter, fighting therefore I should make a thread about USADA. Dumbass. Outside of the Olivera fights, Lentz is not relevant.

Maybe you right its the matchmaking. This place has become a stinker since Joe Silva left.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Has nothing to do with USADA. It started to lack luster when so called champions started either refusing to defend or trying to cherry pick easy opponents.

 

[Southpaw_27]

I think it’s been lack luster since WME took over.

 

[Mortigan]

"Do PEDs work?"

Yes.

If there wasn't a decrease in performance, then either the sport was clean, testing doesn't limit/discourage use, or PEDs don't enhance performance.

too much WMMA nowadays

No.. it’s how it promoted.. lot good fighters got cut or left.. me I think they lost there edge when they went to fox. Then dear lord Reebok deal really hurt it. Then fighters over hype themselves and crash.. drugs/roids/arrest hurt fighters.. Jons been out for while not usda fault. It’s Jon’s fault for fucking up. There goes one probably. Title fights that been a fuckery for while. Champs get hurt, champs duck fighters. Dana white has hurt the ufc much has he help it grow. He needs more spot light than his fighters. Oh media that fuckery there.. having 4-6 fights mth that they don’t have really good cards. Mostly water down fights, kind like boxing. More is not better I don’t give shit what anyone says. The list can go one.. why pay for ppv you can watch for free some where online.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

USADA ruined everything, pretty much

 

[epic1stpost]

I think oversaturation, promotion, wmma, and match making are the cause, usada is a coincidence.

 

[kwd1253]

Oh,fans hurt the sport much as anyone else. Look at this board at times.. they shit on fighters all the time. Stip is over rated, blah blah. Conor is great blah blah.. Conor is a duck blah blah. This same thread been made 5 million times. Every to weeks it same threat.

Reebok deal, USADA, Joe Silva leaving, and WME are just of many factors as to why the UFC is slowly diminishing.
