Again I missed a great fight last night because I dozed off just as it was kicking off.
12 fucken fights... you get to 10:00 pm and there was still 6 fights to go, wtf? That shit dragged on til well after 1:00 am, even on the nights when I manage to stay awake for the main events by that time I'm half out and can't even get into it as much.
I guess for some neckbeard living in mommy's basement, jerking off and eating cheetos until 4 am, then sleeping til noon, this is a perfect schedule.
But if you're, you know, a somewhat healthy person, you're usually going to bed before midnight, and you're up and about by 7 am.
To make matters worse there was a couple of fights on that main card that were just complete dog shit, that fucken HW fat guy collision was pure dog shit and neither one of those dudes should get payed any money to fight, that was just embarrassing, I was sitting through that crap and because of it I was sleeping through a fight between the two top LW prospects.
Seriously, UFC should drop about 50% of it's roster immediately... all the fat HW's who gas after 2 minutes, all the Sam Alveys, the Jessica Eyes, and all the useless soccer moms... keep about 20-25 female fighters max, I figure there are about 25 with some skill, the rest is just embarrassing to watch.
All the sub par jacks of all trades who rotate wins and losses and show no promise to advance, dump them once it's obvious they're not rising thorugh the ranks, and make room for fresh potential prospects. Christos Giagos, Tafon Nchukwi, Raulian Paiva, JP Buys.... etc., seriously all due respect to these guys, but you can drop then immediately, as well as any other jobber that's picked up a bunch of losses and is obviously not rising above a certain level.
8 fights per card would be ideal, a 4 hour show in total, 4 quality prelims 8:00 to 10:00, then 4 main card fights 10:00-12:00, and it's just enough without being too much. Have an event every week, 16 fighters per event, times 52 weeks, with each fighter getting in about 3 fights per year, and your roster would look something like 300 fighters total, basically your top 20-25 for each weight class and that's it. Anyone outside that, go prove yourself in another promotion.
At least I got to see the Rakhmanov fight which is one I was really looking forward to. I'm gonna go watch Gamrot vs Tsarukyan now, but it's not the same knowing the result.
