Many people always talk about how the UFC is dying but i really think this is far from true. UFC is doing really great in fact, BUT i believe that they are losing the control that they had created, thanks to Connor. It could be that the previous owners predicted this and sold the org. before losing to much "power over the fighters".
And yes it's true that they have sold a little less ppv's but that doesn't mean they are going bankrupt... but the fact that they have let Connor get to much control, do what he wants and gain so much more then the rest it's only a matter of time (pretty short time 1-2 years) before other fighters simply have had enough and they will finally unite (mma fighters union will soon grow) to get better salaries and other orgs. will soon start appearing.
UFC has been able to maintain it's number one position and buy out everyone else for a long time but i think it's not gonna last much longer. Pretty soon now we will start seeing more and more competition and "soon" UFC will not be quite as big as they are now, in regards to owning ALL the talented fighters. I think that soon we are going to have a more competitive market, and with that we will probably see more fights also. So i believe for us fans it's only a good thing, UFC will remain the number one org. for a really long time but i think that other orgs. will start getting some pretty good fighters also and be able to pay them fairly.
So in short in the future i think we will see more fight cards from more orgs. that will be really good cards. UFC will not have ALL the best fighters like they almost do now. Bellator has some of them but in the future i predict there will be an even more competitive market. Just some thoughts about where we are heading...
