Fighters should be able to fight every week if they want (yeah i know it's a business but let the fighters fight)

[colorles]

Take Khamzat Chimaev for example: there's a good chance in 2020 he would have smashed Usman and Pereira on the same night. That guy was a different fighter then than he is not; he really was "smash everybody". but holding up his career and the politics of advertising fights and making fighters wait for months at a time between fights, hurt Chimaev and now, years later he is not even the same fighter.

Let the fighters fight. Let Pereira fight as often as he wants; every week if he wants to. LET THE FIGHTERS FIGHT.

Khamzat smashing Pereira and usman on the same night? He arguably lost to usman. Get real.

a different and weaker version of the same man

 

[BEATDOWNS]

lol can't even get half of these UFC Diva's to fight more than once a year

 

[Luthien]

Fine with me

Oh nice a thinly disguised Khamzat suck off thread.

Generally speaking, the UFC will do that, but theres a lot that goes into creating cards. Usually they're mostly filled in 6 weeks out, main event/main card is generally mostly announced 3 months or so out. Big name will have a tough time to make those. Training camps, private lives, budgets, marketing tactics, other opponent prep, medicals, etc

 

[GoWokeGoBroke]

If I’m in the UFC I fight once every 3 months. Plenty of time to fight. Month recover. 2 months train/study opponent. Of course bad injuries what can you do but lil damage come on

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

I remember when I first started watching UFC they fought 3 times in 1 night.

[Bobby Boulders]

[Wilmer Digreux]

I remember lurking here around 2020 when there was nothing but khamzat suck off threads lol.

I think 4-5 times a year should be common. That's a fight every 12 weeks.
Seems like the average in the UFC is like 2.5

 

[Leonard Haid]

Let's not open that Pandora's Box....we might see Raquel Pennington fighting every weekend.

 

[AmonTobin]

If they let Alex Pereira fight every weekend instead of every month they’ll have to change the name to Ultimate Fighting Chama.

That's too often at a high level, they do it in PFL and dudes are broken down after a couple of years.

 

[MarleyLynx]

I think it's mostly the athletic commission. They've let guys go back to back but usually you get atleast a 60 day suspension.

 

[World eater]

The only way to have top athletes fight 4-5 times a year is to let them juice freely. Or if they by some miracle remain injury free, which is unlikely.
