Is it just me or does Noche UFC feel like a PPV?

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

They have a press conference. A title is on the line. They didn’t have an embedded but they did a UFC Journey. It’s in Vegas in T Mobile

And the UFCis actually being creative with the promotion. A custom belt, calling Noche UFC

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Huh?

 

[Dorkman]

Huh?

I think he's referring to this weekends fight night card headlined by a title fight between Grasso and Shevchenko.

Probably, in which case it's just him... most of us forgot that this event was even taking place.

I agree. I believe this was done intentionally to essentially give one back to the Mexican fan base since that Cinco De Mayo card fell apart.

I could have a brain condition, but I believe the UFC was attempting to do a big Cinco de Mayo PPV this year in Mexico/New Mexico and it fell apart for whatever reason. Ended up being the 288 card in Newark* with Cejudo and Aljo.

The cards pretty weak but every time the UFC does anything Mexican related they seemed to go full force.
There hasn't been any fancy Brazilian, African or European title designs. UFC seems to be on a mission to steal the market from boxing.

 

[El Fernas]

Card is trash, could it had been a PPV? Yes, not for quality itself, but for the title on the line and the arena and the UFC not really putting the greatest PPV's lately.

 

[Paulsp]

It was definitely close to looking like a modern ufc ppv quality card before the pull outs

Val/graso
Shavkat/gastelum
Curtis/fluffy
jdm/holland
D-rod/ponz

 

[dildos]

PPV’S don’t even feel like ppvs anymore these days.

 

[VinceArch]

Not a PPV but definitely better than your typical ESPN card. Sort of like a big time FOX card they used to do several years back.

 

[blaseblase]

Valentina hasn't been a headliner in any of her bouts, she's been used to comain ppvs due to not being a draw. Also Holland vs JDM is the only other fight on the card that would even be pp worthy. It's a solid fight night.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

A single PPV worthy fight (Val) on the card...

That's gonna be a no from me.

No longer hiding?

This weekend is Mexican Independence Day so that would make sense

 

[Lights Out 101]

The UFC definitely could have made this a weak PPV like they have done so in the past.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

No

 

[laleggenda27]

No.

1. The card isn't even close to being ppv-worthy.
2. Creating an ugly belt and calling the event "UFC Noche" qualifies as creative marketing? I guess the bar is lower than I thought.

Thanks bro. That completely slipped under my radar.

 

[CC27]

def more promotion than a typical fight night but not good enough card for a PPV.

maybe if UFC put all Mexican fighters they have it could have been.

Cejudo, Suarez, Cruz, isnt Ferg Mexican American? I know Kelvin got hurt. What about yanez? Moreno etc.

This card could have been stacked. also doing it in Vegas is meh, if not Mexico then Texas, somewhere near they boarder would have made more sense.

even when UFC does something new and different its still like half-assed it feels.

 

[Prologue]

I voted yes, in that its arguably better than last PPV on the whole. Ideally though Grasso vs Shev would have been co-main at UFC 293, the better fights here added, and take a break this week.

After seeing Makdessi's taxes though I'm not surprised UFC 293 was so shit.
