UFC 226 Countdown

[Sansnom]

Seems like the UFC have finally decided to promote this event.

3 new videos have been posted less than 30 minutes ago.

Thanks brother!!!

One of the best cards of the year!

Do casuals watch the UFC YouTube channel tho? They need to get some ads on ESPN or something since they are partners now. I think The only mainstream ESPN voice that genuinely likes MMA is Dan LeBatard - he was psyched about Dc/jones 2 and talks about MMA as much as the network let him it seems

 

[Kertol]

Thanks for posting.

Does seem odd that the UFC hasn't hyped this card that much

 

[Sansnom]

Watching one of these videos right now and they are actually promoting Stipe for once and using that NGannou fight. Unbelievable.

ESPN can’t run any ads and promote like they will until January 1 2019... until then FS1 has all the power and say in that

Good lookin out I didn't think of that. Maybe they can get a little air time on First Take or PTI (although mike and tony have made it known they don't care for MMA) since those are their highest rated shows. They usually only talk about McGregor tho

Red Goof is probably on suicide watch

Oh definitely THE best card of the year, unless they come up with some crazy shit. This card is seriously stacked. Less than a week left, can't wait for it.

Of course not, but if the videos become trending on YouTube everyone will have a chance to see it, otherwise it'll just be the hardcores.

Francis Ngannou's hairline: Dec 2016 vs. June 2018​

In 2 years he will be Junior Dos Santos.

Ya I’m interested to see how much ESPN will actually cover and hopefully talk more ufc when their partnership starts... I hope everything isnt going to be all on ESPN+ content... very lil known people other than Lebatard and First take take an interest in the fight game if it’s not Conor or Floyd

 

[Reason]

Not many fights interest me any more. These two do though.

 

[Meathead Jock]

Thanks was wondering when this would come out.

 

[brian]

The Holloway vs Ortega segment was amazing, got my hyped. But yea, i hate how they have too many events to promote the quality ones. They don't even have a press conference for this event, smh.

 

[Juventud]

I'd find it hard to promote Stipe too.

Holloway/Ortega sells itself though.

 

[SoberAwakening]

Laughed in the first minute when they called Cleveland Ohio the Midwestern sports mecca. Y'all have gotten one championship cause of Lebron...calm down.

Excited about these fights though!!!

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

yeah the no promo is weird. I haven't even seen a commercial. now that I think about it I haven't really noticed any commercials for a while on regular cable.channels. if I didn't come to this site I wouldn't even know about the fight. How's a casual gonna know? they relying on word of mouth?

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Stacked Stacked Card... But thinking that the International Fight Week PPV will sell itself is not a good move. Put out some promotion. Unless I missed it, haven't even seen a Prelim commercial on FS1... Don't be pissed at the numbers.
