True.

Corporate eliminated the names to sell a brand.

 

[kingkokong]

Glad to see fighters saying what I've been doing for years lol

 

[ChessJitsu]

They both might be sick of it at this point

I mean even Dana is more into powerslap/boxing.

Joe Rogan has been sleepwalking through his commentary for a long time -- rehashing talking-points that are two decades old.

DC will frequently forget stuff that he commented on just last week.

Matchmakers scheduling Vettori vs Dolidze forgetting the first fight happened.

Is anyone *watching* UFC these days?

Tale as old as time

Time to tuck these two grandpa’s into bed

 

[Pierced7681]

UFC needs a star to carry the company through this tough time like Tito did during the dark ages

 

[nostradumbass]

I mean the fights are on Saturday nights, and I'd imagine both of those guys are pretty shithoused at that time and wouldn't remember if they watched it or not.

 

[jeskola]

old guys out of touch with new stuff is nothing groundbreaking. Also, I doubt either of these guys ever watched much UFC outside of their potential opponents or teammates. Fighters generally aren't UFC fanbois. Its kinda like how most actors arent out there in the theater watching all the super hero movies.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Can't blame them, I barely watch the UFC these days too.

IDGAF WHAT THESE GUYS DO WITH THEIR TIME

 

[Gamer007]

I think the vast majority of retired and non-retired UFC fighters don't watch much MMA, they might tune in for a big PPV or need to watch tape for an upcoming fight, but they definitely aren't watching regularly.


The product has gotten worse sure, but I also think most current & former UFC fighters have a love hate relationship with the organization and the sport. It's also a cutthroat business, where most fighters don't want to see potential opponents have any success. Jealousy, envy, fear, it brings up a lot of emotion many fighters try to avoid.


If you've watched Usman KO Masvidal 30 times, you can start to believe the hype or media opinions. You can build your opponent up a little more than what they actually are, you think his right hand is more deadly than it actually is. Those feelings deeply scare many fighters.

JJ doesn't watch UFC in case Tom pops up on screen, we know he's terrified of that

 

[torturescorcher]

Jones won't watch in case he spots Tom Aspinall in the audience. He knows he will be having nightmares for the next month trying to get Tom out of his head.

It's on more than ever, but we pay less attention then before

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

No surprise UFC fighters can't afford $79.99 either

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Neither do I

Stacked cards? yes. I'm pumped for El Notorio Tupuria vs Charles for example.

The shit they are trying to feed us in the apex bullshit cards? LOL.. that Erin blachnowiz vs whoever the fuck.. no thanks.
