Title Fight Fetish

[LeBron]

Why must PPVs be headlined by title fights and why must every PPV even have a title fight? Why put these restrictions on yourself and make organizing events even harder? For example, Shavkat vs Ian is clearly the biggest fight next week but because it’s not a title fight, they have to play second fiddle to some manlets lol. The biggest fight should headline a card, period.

Who made this a thing?

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

yeah no.

 

[Clark Rogers]

It's almost like the champions hold a higher position among the rest.

It's almost like the champions hold a higher position among the rest.

But they’re not always the biggest or best fight of the night. You think women should get to headline a card just because they’re champions? C’mon man

 

[Deltron 6060]

Having a championship on the line, for casuals, makes the fight feel bigger even if it's not better.

 

[Goodfella86]

The title itself gets me off. I can't help it.

 

[EndlessCritic]

The symbolism of the title fight is that the #1 spot in the world is up for grabs.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Admitting your championships have less worth than a couple midcarders isnt really a good optic when youre in the business of selling fights

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Title fight or not, I’d still masturbate to it.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Hmmm Where does BMF stand amongst all of this?

You should be happy because you get to see what you deem is the biggest fight of the card before the stupid title fight...

Some of my favorite cards are the ones where there's a title fight headlining, but a even more anticipated bout below. Like I don't think of this type of ordering as a negative.

 

[MaulingMyClown]

Funny cause I was thinking that fight should be buried 3rd in line below the title fight and the Gane Volkov fight

 

[Egészségére!]

Should be based on seniority

Guida vs Hooper main

 

[Dimbis]

I can agree with this considering someone made a thread recently about UFC spacing out fights so viewers don’t tune out once they’ve watched what they want to see.

Now I disagree because champions earned the right to main event so it’s bad idea after all.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Yeah no doubt
Title fights should be on the early prelims

A guy that wet the bed in two championship fights and should probably retire against a guy he already beat?

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Because it's easier to sell a card with a title fight as the main event than without. What's so confusing about that?

 

[VinceArch]

Title fights do and should take place at the end of the card.
