Stacked UFC cards are dead?

[chinarice]

All 3 cards would rank easily as top 10-15 most stacked cards in UFC history lmao. Easily to me anyways.

Shows you how abyssmal the UFC is that X would be a top10 card. Sweet jesus that card is decent at best.

It's sad how many of you need massive hype and flashy marketing to even be intrested in events anymore.

When everything has become cookie-cutter, uninteresting slop, you need promotion more than ever.

Fights used to sell themselves back in the day. Hype was organic.

The entire thing became too watered down with simpletons thinking MMA needed to sit alongside team sports and other non-violent sports. It's laughable what it is today. Defending it is WILD to me.

As long as the roster is as big as it's been and the UFC continues to put on events weekly or bi-weekly, we won't see stacked cards outside of special events (A white house card, fight island, special numbered events). There's no financial incentive and they don't have the amount of interesting, high-yield fighters that they used to

Disagree. UFC Winnipeg is stacked. I mean Mallott/Burns main event is tough to beat!

Whether a card is stacked or not is subjective.

 

[Trabaho]

Cards felt stacked cause there were 5x less fighters. So we cared about all of them.

Cards have been getting way better lately..... so no, I don't think they are quite dead yet. We just had a killer card on paper and for real not too long ago in January.

Whats wild is your on a niche MMA message board at 7am telling us you need millions of dollars in marketing bullshit to care and that makes you somehow superior to other fans.

Buddy, you are the simpleton here.

We've talked a lot in recent years about how few stacked cards we were getting. I don't expect much to change either way with the Paramount partnership. They still have all these cards they must put on so marquee names are going to be spread out. Number of stars are dwindling. It's a large roster with many just clustered in middle in terms name and face awareness barely distinguishable.

For the numbered cards we're lucky to have strong main and co-main nowadays. The main event has to carry cards. I remember PPV events where I almost had as much interest in fights under the main and co-main because they were just that good. I'm hoping for the days to come where we can have multiple stacked cards a year. Right now I wouldn't bet on the much talked about WH card being stacked.
