Put one good fight on the card, rest fillers and charge people $70-80 a card

Then Dana starts crying to the media about how boxing doesn’t work and the UFC is the best

They are copying their tactics while paying the fighters peanuts.

We used to get cards that were stacked all the way down the prelims and now there are only 2 fights worth watching on each card.

No wonder people have lost interest in the UFC.
 
theres almost 2 good fights on this one.

Glad theres a bunch of crap in a row, can get alot done in the gym without having to check in.
 
What? lol
The gym. Place to get some sweaty moves in.

this card is actually pretty good. Outside of the couple little girl bouts , there's a lot of interesting match ups. Trying to get it done fast.
 
I think the size off the roster makes cards weak. They are expected to have x amounts of events due to the espn deal so you are bound to have your fair share of weak level fights.
 
UFC noche was criminally trash and don´t understand how you can try to sell the Mexicans such a shxt card. Most Mexicans and Latinos felt offended by the card and they promoted the shxt out of it as if it was greatest card ever lmao. There was only 2 watchable fights on the entire card..
 
This a good card. I believe the previous cards were lackluster due to over stacking the 300 card.
 
Others have noted a few reasons why, but another reason is that MMA gets more popular year by year, so now guys that had weren't sure what to do with their lives see MMA as a viable path so that leads to an increase in the overall fighter population which means that the UFC has a ton of bodies to pick from who are just happy to fight in front of a bigger audience. So, now they can fill cards with lower quality fights rather easily.
 
Ufc is dying.

You heard it here first!

Yeah you can keep the crappier fights on prelims and main card of espn fight nights but jesus christ only 1-2 quality fights on ppv is bullshit. PPV's should be epic not some watered down shit because the UFC is plucking fights off them to keep their ESPN deal happy.

This is true they keep other fights for free cards, but don’t forget how stacked some of the free to air fox cards were to compensate for the deal and the ppvs would have been weaker in comparison too.

This card was saved by Poatan...what do u expect...that probably comes with a big cheque
 
There are at least 4 really good fights in this card.
Pereira/Roundtree
Buckley/Wonderboy
Harris/Ketlen
Dolidze/Holland
 
Dana used to proudly yap about how UFC did the opposite of what boxing did and they actually stacked their cards from top to bottom. And he was right. And it was fucking great.

The easy fix to that is every card doesn't need 11-14 fights. Most fans don't watch the early ones anyway. Cap cards at 8 or 9 fights and you could trim a couple hundred from the roster.
