I probably would not like the same things as MMA's core fanbase but I'd like to see it more aligned to "normal" sports as opposed to the pro wrestling-style product we see today. They could scale up the spectacle during shows rather then attempt cheap storylines.
Some suggestions:
- Tournaments.
- Seriously, tournaments.
- Outside of them, revamp the matchmaking because it's total shit.
- Bigger production value, spectacle, entrances, etc.
- Individual gear and sponsors.
- Away with the show+win structure, give full money and a smaller bonus to the winner. People may fight less cautiously
- Lager performance bonuses
- Enough with the political alignment, looks like Chechnya level shit, it's pathetic
- Take over the "narrative" side of promotion and sell your athletes, so that they don't have to do it themselves. They are morons. They are not doing a good job.
- Fuck these BMF and interim titles, with them and their shit matchmaking the belts hold no value anymore. This has to change.
- Find a way to reduce weight cutting, or even better eliminate it.
- Change the damn gloves to help reduce eye pokes.
- Think about having a B-show or developemental territory to park all this low level talent, to showcase at the Apex.
- Have torunaments in ring and tournaments in the octagon, you can let different kinds of athletes thrive and move forward the tradition of the sport.
Changes outside the UFC's reach:
- Ruleset needs to be consistent and needs some tweaks.
- Scoring system needs to change to see rounds as a unit rather than divided by time, effort to finish the fight needs to be emphasised
- Reffing needs to be more consistent and more harsh. Too much free cheating.
- Judges and refs need to be accountable when fucking up.
- Add two to four judges, 5 or 7 will fuck up less than 3 for obvious reasons.
