If you're losing interest just stop watching. I don't know what the point of people making so many "the ufc is dying" and "Is the UFC dying?" threads. No one is forcing you to watch UFC, if you don't like it anymore just take a break or move on. It's okay to fall out of love with things, it's normal.

Like so many other things it can’t keep peoples attention constantly, i’ve been disinterested recently only due to the lack of good events like the noche one outside of the main fight and Ortega vs Lopes.

Because interest in MMA is based on the date you joined wack AF Sherdog.
Everyone cant afford to waste their life posting 26,000 comments on one message board.

UFC officially peaked when Jon Jones snatched the HW belt. It is all downhill from here ...

I dkn't care about half the org being below LW. It was better when LW was the smallest weight. I don't care about these flyes. Short guys would have to bulk for 155 n the past. UFC was better before half the fightes were mini guys and so much wmma. Early wmma was good. Now it's stale and dead.

Fair weather fans come and go. As for me I require my weekly UFC dose. The rest of the week I smile on those fights.

this 100%. i watch bellator, i watch ONE, i have purchased every Rizin, this is the FIRST year i have ever skipped whole UFC events. LOL.
Your criticisms are valid. Everyone knows it's a far weaker product today. They have commercialized it for the worst. They have put out crap cards and have deluded new people into thinking this is valid competition.
And for the people who constantly bitch when someone voices their opinion on a message board designed for MMA discussion? STFU you sensitive pansies who can't even read criticism about the UFC on a MMA forum. For fuck's sake. That's the entire point. If YOU don't like it, reply somewhere else. This is all valid, these are legitimate complaints. And we can discuss. That's the whole fucking point.

All time low interest point - Anyone else?
I've been following the sport for about 25 years, since I was in high school. And I think right now the sport is at all time low as far as interest levels go. I'm not going to say the sport is dying, but I think something needs to change. The major issue is lack of exciting champions and...

Losing interest in current UFC, after 12 years following MMA
Is it just me, or is the UFC not super exciting at the moment? I'm talking about the last 3 or 4 months. Also, I cannot see anything super exciting happening in the near future. It's kinda lacking big stars and big names, it has somehow become kinda dull. It's fully possible the problem is me...

Has anyone else lost interest in UFC/MMA , possible to regain it?
I remember getting into MMA when it was still gaining hype in 2009 with the video game. I became addicted to watching the spike events and learning about the fighters from Pride, strikeforce, and later DREAM. I got friends into it whenever there was a fight to watch. Fast forward a few years...

Who else lost interest in the UFC?
Heavily watered down cards everywhere. It is obvious that Dana made his money and doesn't give a shit anymore. Here is what I feel about the recent and upcoming UFC events: And chances are many other people feel the same way. How about you?

Is anyone else losing interest in MMA thanks to the UFC & Connor?
Just curious. I have been losing interest and take more enjoyment from Bellator, Glory and METAMORIS (!) than I have from the UFC. The Connor hysteria, their betrayal of fighters, Reebok, cancelled events, disrespecting....well....everyone at FW just to promote Connor, the constant Dana...

Why I'm losing interest in the UFC
Inb4 "Oh my God, who the hell cares?" 1. UFC uniforms, fighters don't differ much from each other already, this only makes it worse 2. Forcing all the fighters to be the same kind of goody two shoes and role models instead of themselves. 3. Shoving things that we don't care about down our...

agreed, the super light weights are just not compelling enough.

This is actually part of the circle of MMA fandom...you start out only knowing who a few of the stars are, then you get super into it and watch all of the events and know obscure facts about obscure fighters and you start digging into fight finder and watching smaller promotions trying to see who could make it to the big show and then you get excited about some prospect and they fail, you learn how to pronounce last names like nurmashamalamadingdong and then you see the rise and fall of several champions and you see your favorite fighters on their downslide and then you don't know who the new fighters are because you didn't watch Dana White's "So you want to be a fuckin' fighter, huh?" tv show and you can't bring yourself to see another episode of TUF, and then you come on Sherdog to complain that MMA has gotten bad. is normal.

This is what happens when you're guaranteed money no matter the quality of the product.
The UFC hasn't been the same since the ESPN deal.
