[Brock Tober]

UFC is dead.

 

[Ninja]

UFC sells to Fox, Fighters retire, Jon Anik is promoted to President CEO and keeper of records.

Fans lose interest, wwe/ufc merge and become Running Man in a last ditch effort to garner ratings - ppv buys.

 

[LoopingRight]

That's actually pretty nuts if you think about it.

 

[VinceArch]

New fighters will emerge and we won't forget the greats before them.

 

[Was at Pride GP 2000]

Yet fans bash promoting the next generation like sage. Can't win.

By the way that list is abbreviated when you think about what an injury can do or the suspensions that someone could receive for doping.

 

[original doom]

Theres loads of prospects coming up. The heavyweight div needs innocent souls but some halfwit is not doing his job in recruiting.

scum UFC is severly neglecting Eastern Europe in the heavies and the lhw division.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Dan Henderson will still be fighting.

 

[The Bard]

Well, five years is a long time. Five years ago we had Rampage v. Hamill as a headliner. I think we'll be fine.

 

[mb23100]

Damn that's like every single heavyweight

 

[Tormund]

Really worried for the heavier weight classes, a lot of prospects in the lower ones.

 

[dildos]

Yet fans bash promoting the next generation like sage. Can't win.

bash him because he is undeservedly paid alot more then the vets or young stars that deserve that money.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

New sharks will be around to replace the old ones. Nature of the beast.

 

[Bob Gray]

Makes me wonder what the hell their HW division will be like in 5 years.

 

[dbader08]

There will be plenty of young upmcoming great fighters but that's still a lot of good fighters that will all most likely be retired within the next 3-5 years.

[UberTouchbutt an trt sald]

UFC is dead.

Silly guy, don´t you know that mma and specially the UFC is neck to neck with soccer worldwide?

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Could be earlier since USDA testing is around. Might as well close shop in the HW division.

 

[Hancopo]

Silly guy, don´t you know that mma and specially the UFC is neck to neck with soccer worldwide?

I totally agree that UFC isn't dead but it's nowhere near with soccer.

 

[Saku]

If only Keith Richards was a cage fighter
