Media New details on how the UFC plans to use The Sphere

[don't ask]

Couldn’t they have spent a fraction of the 16 million or whatever on more elite fighters?

They will give money to anyone but fighters.

I have no doubt it'll be a great experience. I also have no doubt that it won't be great enough to offset the ticket price. If they had done a mega fight inside the sphere, then maybe. But O'Malley-Merab? Nah.

 

[don't ask]

Heard Tito was going. He'll wear a flowery shirt adorned with 10 Leis to honor Mexico.

The card was always going to be Mexican centric & they wanted a theme to tie the event together. They were never going to build this as a UFC 300 level card. Factoring in that every fight outside the main event has a Mexican fighter I think they did about as well as they could've done considering that.

3 mexican fights would suffice . UFC is not mexican centric like Boxing. Ortega/Lopes , Grasso , Rosas. Didn't have to fill entire pre lims (but 1 fighter) with no names. Could justa taken pre lim fights Sterling v Evolev an the Kayla fight an put them on main card here. Noone is saying it needed to be 300 or even a July card level. But not in bottom quarter of the years ppv cards. FFS the next 2 ppvs make this look like a fight night.

Not many bitch about that card if they switched some 307 fights.

Omalley - Merab
VAL grasso 3
Ortega Lopez
Sterling - Evolev
Kayla

RUMORED: TKO is bringing in some of the big hitters for some live entertainment during the event

Dana would never dare cross his master, His Excellency Crown Prince Turki Alalshikh!

Lol . I mean the card didn't need to be this terrible. I mean it's not the worst but it's a card I likely would never buy n maybe go to pub for last 3 fights. Only reason I see is Dana likes to fuck with people. I give you the Sphere ....... but only 7 or 8 fighters folks have heard of an a bunch of Mexican no names.

Event wouldn't even sell lol

It's Noche UFC, just read the below to get an idea of what they're going for. They aren't building the event like this & only doing 3 Mexican fights lol.

And while most UFC events focus on the fights, for the Sphere event — titled Riyadh Season Noche UFC — the venue will be just as much in the forefront, with plans to run a film told in chapters celebrating Mexico’s contribution to combat sports serving as interludes on the massive screen in between bouts

Noone is saying it needed to be 300 or even a July card level. But not in bottom quarter of the years ppv cards. FFS the next 2 ppvs make this look like a fight night.

You referring to the entire card top to bottom or just the PPV main card? The main card is good outside the Rodriguez / Osbourne fight, which at least should end in a good finish. I wouldn't put the main card in the bottom quarter of the year.

Got damn. I’ve thought a lot of Dana over the years. Never thought he’d stoop as low as necromancy.

 

[Dr. Rose]

If it lands it's gonna be huge, but if it fails even 10% it will have feces thrown at it from the peanut gallery.

Hell there's already a little poo on the walls in here lol

Caged primates do like to throw their feces. Sorry, had to go there my friend.

 

[arcadeperfect]

And it still won't be a fraction as cool as PRIDE FC.

 

[DrRodentia]

I heard they actually managed to land Uwe Boll to direct these short films

 

[d0g]

I wonder if it will be something like a beach world, dessert world, forest world, snow world, underwater world, moon world, space world, etc.

They might ask for more money then.

Dana likes his fighters hungry i.e. stupid and/or leveraged under his thumb.

Lol

 

[StonedLemur]

Sounds fucking stupid

Give me the Thunderdome, I wanna see some Sherbros doing their best "Just Bleed" impressions during the fight

 

[avenue94]

Sounds cool but no idea why the article is phrasing this as a bet, like the UFC is gonna fail or be damaged if this doesn't work. It's almost impossible to lose money on this.

Who gives a shit? Lol

 

[usernamee]

I don't understand what the fuck that even means

 

[StonedLemur]

Who gives a shit? Lol

Not you? Lol
