UFC 213 prelims do lowest numbers for UFC pay-per-view since 2014

Good. I have no sympathy for the UFC. They've brought all this shit on themselves:

-pandering to certain fighters
-focusing on drama>>skill
-alienating their hardcore fanbase
-shit cards and headliners
-letting fighters hold up divisions
-letting top fighters walk away due to low balling them

They need to have 1 ppv and 1 free card a month with the occasional 3rd here and there .. The roster needs to be thinned out at the bottom, let those guys develop in PFL and Bellator.

Make your ppv cards so fucking stacked that half of them could get injured and at bare minimum we end up with a card like 213, instead of the best case scenario being maybe above 500k buys with zero injuries
 
Golf on NBC brags about those low numbers. lol

Weird perspective people have.
 
This Int'l Fight Week did feel a lot less promoted than many of the previous. But the cards were nothing special, probably why they tacked on another PPV this month.

Love it bro. The new owners are inept.
 
Everyone lost interest when Nunes dropped out. Go figure.
 
It's almost like letting recognizable skilled fighters go is a bad move for a fighting league.

Who'd have thought...

Wasn't much there to see on the prelims. The card was pretty entertaining Friday night so there probably wasn't much interest to watch the weak prelim offering on Saturday night.
 
It's a little unfair to compare these prelims to UFC 200's prelims which had Johny, Cat and TJ.

Browne was the only recognizable name by anyone other than us hardcore-types, and even though I really looked forward to all four of those FS1 prelims, they just didn't have any star power to speak of. Sadly, that matters.
 
Numbers look fine to me.The card fell apart losing the main event,the TJ vs Cody fight and the fight all the fans wanted to see Lawler vs Cerrone of course the prelim numbers won't be crazy,there wasn't even great fights on it for the casuals.Let's of course put the numbers up against UFC 200 lol and UFC 189 (which it was close to) headlined by Conor McGregor and these lower numbers are supposed to mean something?

The fans talking about the UFC is dying lol,try using your brain for once and stop regurgitating BS you read on Sherdog (of all places) to sound like you know what you're talking about.Momo's.
