PFL is a massively inferior product to the UFC (first time watching PFL)

First time watching PFL cause there's no UFC this week. It is such a inferior product, their constant appeal to social media, announcers with their horrible voices, and the lack of any drama in the fights.

Also, their round rating thing is weird and I don't like it. The best thing so far might be one of the announcers grilling that expert bettor guy as his parlay was failing.

This really makes me appreciate the UFC so much more. Give me Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping on the announcer table over these fools.
 
Of the larger orgs, only One Championship puts on consistently exciting fights with a nice production setup nowadays. Lots of sketchy practices from what I've read, and most of their champs are prob no more than top 15 in the world, but the product is good for what it is. I should note I don't watch smaller orgs like Cage Warriors and I don't really keep up with Rizin though the events I've seen have been fun.
 
I agree 100%, that’s why I’m training UFC as my base martial art, I have a friend who’s been training PFL for roughly the same amount of time… when we spar I easily get the better of her, UFC is the superior style.
Bro i got to hop on the UFC training stuff, im stuck in the past training StrikeForce .

PFL puts on quality fights. The UFC is the big leagues. PFL is Double A. Bellator is Triple A. Watch more MMA.

I watch CFFC, Fury, Rizin, and Bellator.

PFL is worse than even the lowest tier mma shows I've seen so far.

The fight between Torres and Flores might be one of the worst fights I've ever seen, up there with Rose and Carla. But Rose and Carla is very rare for the UFC. So far, the matches all seem to either be insanely one sided or boring.

Torres and Flores was two featherweights fighting like they have the cardio of heavyweights and just decided to clinch.

No, it isn't. You also didn't mention the lowest tier MMA you could watch. Additionally, good job forming an opinion based off of watching half of a card and only the prelims. Let's get you a jump to conclusions mat.

Yeah ONE is sketchy as fuuuuuuck but they put on the best fights and production outside the UFC.

Bellator - Awful production, awful commentary/analysis teams, cursed fights on the regular.
PFL - Tourney format forces guys to often fight extremely safe and boring. Confusing rules made up on the spot sometimes. Too much clutter on the screen blocking the actual fighting.

From a production standpoint, I believe I've seen enough in 3 hours.

Annoying voiced announcers, constantly QR barcode pop up (tell us what you think about this fight), constantly shifts to some expert bettor guy with his stupid takes that Parker tool or whoever he is.
As much as UFC markets betting odds, they do it in a way it's not so much in your face nearly as much as the PFL, and that fighter scoring system thing is stupid, no one asked for that.

As far as fights, sure 3 hours is hard to tell, but so far, all the fights have been horrid. Let's see what the remainder can deliver.

LFA and CFFC would be the lowest production cost shows I watch, and PFL is worse than them.
