How long will Patrício Pitbull remain at the top of UFC cards?

[Rhood]

So far he's been booked at the top of two UFC PPV cards in the main event.
He's been boo'd heavily by MMA fans in both fights because of his constant stalling in every round nonstop.
He's been getting very preferential treatment & booking by the UFC, and yet fans can't stand watching him.

How long will this continue and will he always fight in main events?

I mean, it wasn’t a terrible fight, it was just overshadowed by all the other fights being crazy bangers

You mean main card, not main event, right?

Right

I think it'll be a while yet.

He'll stay on PPV main cards until he's lost 2 straight, then probably demoted to a Fight Night main card, before dropping onto the prelims.

He's still a name with a big reputation and is fresh meat to the division as well, so booking opportunities are plentiful.

Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Steve Garcia next, but there's also Zalal who would benefit from a win over Pitbull. If he wins a second straight fight, he's actually looking at top 5 opposition again IMO.

Winner of Ortega-Sterling would make sense, given neither are credible title contenders at this point?

How much is he being payed? If he's making high end coin, I honestly can see him getting cut if he losses his next fighy

 

[SamuraiBro]

If he’s on an expensive contract then we’ll see him on PPV main cards for a while.

Interesting how Vetori Alen was fotn and Pitbull Ige wasn't good ?

I thought Pitbull Ige was exceptional. Real damage and dinamic changes.

Vettori Alen to me was B level. Whole lot of light shots.

Different tastes.

 

[Trabaho]

I say keep Pitbull at the main cards. I also liked his Yari fight. Fast paced.

Pitbull #3 Exceed my expectations this last fight. He's a solid finish away from earning your appreciation. He's also a loss away from ending up on the undercard...

 

[Fact Checker]

UFC becoming a budget show featuring Bellator rehashes and Pretender Series fluff on most PPV cards.


Pitbull is just jobbing for a paycheck at this point, he’s clearly washed.
