Do your research.Reebok couldn't wait to part ways with the UFC. No other big time players wants to come near them. They had to settle with Venom, LOL
Fan experience and giving back to community? What does that look like?theres a lot of truth in TS' post but the UFC can still be saved. The culture they've established is what's not sustainable, however with the right leadersship in place the UFC has the potential to become a lot more respected. It's going to start with fighter pay, then fan experience, and more focus on giving back to the community. Other major sports organizations have figured this out lightyears ago which is why they dominate the sport space. It's difficult for the UFC to be considered in those same spaces with public labor disputes, over-exposure, insane prices PPV cards and a revolving door of talent. The athletes should be celebrated a lot more, casual fans show about as much support to UFC athletes as the company does. Once the right leadership figures this out they will finally be able to dig themselves out of this awkward position they're in.
A better, newer organization would eventually emerge, this is common throughout the history of sports
Sauce or GTFO.The ufc thrived through Covid while outside the nfl every other sports ratings declined
How did they recruit stars in the past, when pay was lower?yep. star power is extremely low. all the stars like Conor and Nate are retiring soon and with ufc 's low pay they cant recruit new talent.. lol venom...
Cause I’m 6 foot 5 2 fiddy n lookin for ways in which I would knock them out in round 1Then why are you on Sherdog?
Everything is dying.
This, obviously. I try to help people who are disinterested by giving simple advice that helps. So many people complain that they don't know half the fighters or most and I say, during the week take an hour or two to watch a few fights, instagram, interviews etc. of the people you don't know and it'll help you feel more emotionally invested in the fights. Most people say stuff like, i'm not going to waste my time doing that and it's always the same idiots that are on here posting all week about nothing, but they don't have an hour or two to help themselves get more interested.
Some people are just here to complain and can't see that maybe it's not the sport of mma's fault they aren't as interested. It's just weird the entitlement of some people, every fight/event has to be the greatest or it sucks. That's just people for ya, kinda feel bad but don't.
And where is the source urc did good?

I disagree. It's worst than ever. Maybe the skill level on the prelims are better now but all the excitement have disappeared from MMA.Mma is trash now lol
Definitely agree with this.The whole MMA/UFC mystique is long gone, no doubt.
But fighting is fighting and that´ll always attract viewers, and UFC is the number one org. (it´l live)
Dana´s days are numbered and the UFC will look totally different in 5 years imo. (welcome to bump this in 2026)
Bro. I said it was trash. We both agree lolI disagree. It's worst than ever. Maybe the skill level on the prelims are better now but all the excitement have disappeared from MMA.
