UFC 316 - a very poor card. What are the main UFCs for?

[WillyWarminski]

We have two titles fights:

Merab and Sean.
Pena vs Harrison.


The entire card before this is filled with fighters with multiple losses, gatekeeper status, unlikely fighters to ever touch gold*
Of course, even the main events could be poor but what happened to the UFC events.
I thought that the numbered UFC shows were supposed to be the pinnacle of fighters.

Why have UFC at Apex, on ESPN, on ABCDE, Fight Nights and so on if they cannot get together full blown important fighters all in the one card?

I hope there are some barn-burners for the people who still pay for this shit but the dilution of UFC branding is absolutely ridiculous.





* exception could be Azamat.

I have this theory they added women to the roster just so they could promote PPVs by having "TWO TITLE FIGHTS". Ain't nobody want to see that shit though.

I suspect that Pena and Harrison will have a more competitive fight than Suga's rematch. Even though I love Suga.

I could not care any less, it's women fighting.

STFU.

UFC is dying. You think you came up with that all by yourself?

Yea man, all the UFC cards every week should have at least 7 or 8 Title fights, and the other 3 or 4 fights should all be Title eliminators with top five opponents. Where does the UFC get off showing fighters who have losses on their records, the nerve of them folks. !

There's some fun fights on this card that you skipped over.

• Gastelum Vs Joe Pyfer
• Johnnie Walker gonna get KOd by some undefeated Russian
• Vincente Luque Vs Kevin Holland

 

[Shano123]

Kevin Holland shouldn't be on ppvs

 

[Stoic1]

There will be scientific journal studies and business review articles done about the UFC in the future that will cite this thread as evidence.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Wang Cong is a top fighter who has a win over Valentina Shevchenko and remains a massive prospect.

joshua Van is the most exciting fighter on the roster.

Murzakanov is like a reincarnation of Fedor.

OP is a clown.

The other cards like fight nights and similar is where the lower end fights should be

Walker is out, replaced by Brendson Ribeiro.
Chito is also now out of the Bautista fight, RUMORED to be replaced by Patchy Mix.
Gastelum/Pyfer and Holland/Luque should be fun, also Bruno Silva/Joshua Van, Wang Cong/Ariane de Silva and Khaos Williams/Uros Medic should all be entertaining also.
I see a lot of good in this card, ive certainly seen far worse PPV's than this.

 

[Russie]

Again so many cards it's hard for any main PPV card to be stacked. They would tell you about 316 that its great because they giving you 2 title fights. We now have some good main events schedule for the summer and we'll see how they fill the cards out. Leading up to summer it would be good to scale back some fight night cards to allow for the building of the PPVs.

 

[ChrisBenoit]

Supposedly we also get Patchy Mix vs. Boretista

 

[Deceasedxo]

Jesus Christ. Every fucking card gets this same thread made about it. We get it, it's not 2005 anymore.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Nobody is forcing you to watch it bro
You’ll be okay
