Media This Weeks UFC Fight Card WORST In UFC History?

[Benoitthegr8]

UFC matchmakers threw dung at the fight tracker, which came up with this card.

Tybura has so many insanely boring fights under his belt

 

[Snake Fist]

I always say, I don't mind watered down events that aren't PPV's, as long as they always try and stack the numbered PPV events.

The product suffers the most when we don't get the fights that matter, the fights that honour the rankings, the fights the fans are clamouring for.

Jones fighting Stipe is a major stain on the product, and now we got Islam calling out Holloway instead of gearing up to fight Arman.

You can't possibly think that people are complaining about the results of fights that haven't happened yet.

They're complaining about the UFC putting out non-PPV events that look like regional fight promotions and PPV cards with less elite fighters than ever. This is a perfectly valid thing for people to complain about, especially when this mediocre direction is something the UFC is actively pursuing.

Cards always have the potential to be exciting because underpaid fighters are putting everything on the line to make up for the UFC's shitty matchmaking, but that doesn't excuse the way cards are being put together.

We're seeing more and more of these complaints and it's not because people are whiners, it's because the UFC's product is getting worse.

They're complaining to complain. Just don't tune in. FN cards lacking names is not new. Neither is the whining.

For the most part, the UFC has done a good job putting on some stacked cards this year with one or two great Fight Nights. If they have lesser than type of cards which are free on ESPN filled with journeymen and prospects, that's fine, as long as we're getting big PPVs and a few big Fight Nights mixed in. We are.

Between TUF, DWCS, PPVs and FNs, MMA has never been more available to watch. If we get some cards that aren't great on paper, so be it. It's much better than the alternative, in my opinion.

It's a free card basically. Compared to the state of boxing, this is PPV worthy.

Terence Crawford's 79.99 affair this past weekend had a narcolepsy inducing undercard.

Then we have this stinker coming up. Probably another 80 dollar waste. Canelo is a -1400 favorite!

MMA is positively healthy compared to how putrid boxeo has become.

 

[Istryker]

Holy fuck that's a bad card

 

[filthybliss]

With Javid Basharat vs Chris Gutierrez off, is this the worst UFC card ever?
There isn't even any young prospects like other ones..

That Terrence Crawford card was one of the best cards boxing has put on in years... It was like 4 main event level fights lol. Also way different and a dumb comparison in general

 

[r-harper-1]

On paper it sucks ….like most fight nights

 

[Tweak896]

Every card I think its a new low, when OP posted the bout list, I wasn't sure what order the card was in or who the main event. Tybura/Spivac I know but they are C-tier HWs. Sometimes cards can turn out better than you expect it to be, but this is pretty bad.

 

[Elvis.]

I wonder what percentage of people watch every free card , steal every pay per view & constantly criticize both as if they have to watch it like it’s their job.

So we're going to do this every month, eh? You guys aren't tired of this shit yet? Don't tune in. That simple.

You guys whined for weeks about the Jandiroba/Lemos card and it ended up being one of the most exciting cards of the last few months.

There's zero way to know the quality of the card before it happens, especially if you're more concerned with matchups instead of name value. If you're worried you're going to waste your time after looking at a card and deem it not worth it, wait until it's over, look at which fights you should watch, and look for or fire up a replay rather than cry about it online?

I wish people would look at Fight Night cards more realistically as they are free - they're for prospects, aging veterans, those without name value and to give the fighters that provide depth who may become gatekeepers, journeymen or even top fighters an opportunity to fight, improve and prove themselves.

Every great once in a while we'll get a stacked one. And sometimes, like it Saturday for example, it doesn't entirely deliver. Yet, the 'w0rsT c4rD 0f aL1 t1m3' in Jandiroba/Lemos did. Can we at least wait for the card to happen before we shit on the quality of it?

No one is saying the fights are going to be boring. They are saying it's uninteresting regardless. Hence why people even watch ufc in the first place instead of random free mma. It's not hard to grasp

 

[McGeezle]

The Jandiroba card turned out badass tho

So that then made it interesting in hindsight?

And I'm saying the whining is fucking tired as it happens every week, and if you're not interested, don't tune in. Them having lesser than type cards with their schedule and how stacked some of the other cards have been makes sense.

Lets see dana give out 100k bonuses for this card

Tybura vs Spivac
Magny vs Morales
Burns vs Brady
Moicono vs BDS
Royval vs Taira

That is your next 5 FN main events wouldn't even be PPV worthy main card but If they just did one FN card per month thats what your main card could look like which would be pretty solid for a FN but instead they water the cards down and spread them so thin.

Because the shitty cards happen every week. Even the ppv's are watered down because of it

Another month, another “worst card ever thread”

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

The decreasing quality of the UFC (including the PPVs) is visible and I have to strongly object when it's handwaved away by citing the efforts of the underpaid fighters who work their fucking asses off and put everything on the line to make even the shittiest UFC cards entertaining. And I definitely have to object when people are being told to stop complaining because that's exactly how the market speaks. We're not seeing all these posts because people like complaining, we're seeing them because the UFC's business plan is diminishing the quality of the product.
