UFC is dying

[Chayanne]

Bro, how can the UFC be dying when it's bigger than soccer?

UFC is not a sport, a circus company

What is already dead, cannot die.

... yet with strange aeons, even death may die.

 

[Legendary]

Yeah its pretty bad. Thank Dana and fam for low balling fighters which redirected a lot of athletes to other sports, especially at heavyweight.

Lmfaaaoooo

no for real this time. Every post on twitter is filled with Jon Jones spam. I don't think more than 100 people watched TUF 33 last night. Dana is in complete gambling distress. The next few PPVs look like they were put together by BJ Penn's mom. What the hell is going on?

Nothing like recycling retired fighters who aren’t going to fight anymore

Yeah ngl, without Belal "Remember the Name" Muhammad as champ drawing in the fans, we might be looking at a bankruptcy type of situation for the UFC

Belal was an all time GOAT and the Belal era was record breaking as far as lack of interest.

But still record breaking, you know.

This is where we can disagree…DC is fighting every day against obesity and he is losing badly.

Shale is fighting to become a woman.

International people dont buy PPVs.

PPV is a dying medium. I'm fairly confident in the next rights deal they'll just do away with them and have numbered cards as premium live events like WWE does.

International people dont buy PPVs.

they do. Ireland bought into the PPV market once Conor hit. There's a pub on every corner and it is nationally expected for every one of them to showcase Irish talent which inflated his buyrate. UFC PPV buys are international ... boxing domestic to USA unless stated. eg Fury vs Usyk PPV rate was UK only.

Weird. people here have always talked about how it was just part of their TV package in the UK, kind of figured it was like that everywhere.

Makes a boycott sound even better tho!

Lol stop, its never been bigger in some places internationally. Ilia is a star and is bringing in a new market of fans from Spain. Its never been bigger in Australia and New Zealand with guys like Volk, JDM and still even Izzy. Brazil is still producing some killers( Fighting Nerds ). Paddy looks to be legit and is a crowd favorite from the UK. DDP is from south Africa. Khamzat has a cult following and has star potential.

So stop with this " UFC is dying " shit you keep talking about..

Maybe for Americans because there's no real elite talent thats easy to cheer for and maybe in Canada because since GSP left there has been nobody to carry the torch.

But internationally?? Yeah its bigger than ever.

Bro Volk and Izzy are finished. JDM has the personality and star potential of a rotten tomato. Ilia is not really big anywhere. He tried to promote himself using Ramos in Spain and nobody knows who he really is lol. Its absolutely dead, there’s not even 1 star left. The only thing talked about internationally is when will the Conor and Jones fight happen and we all know its never gonna happen anymore, its over, open your eyes…

 

[DiazSlap]

This thread does not take into account thr next card with a dynamite main event as Macy “Brutus the” Barber vs Erin “the Barbarian” Blankenship….

Do better research @Rockapotomuss

I agree about the Izzy and Volk thing but no on JDM has star potential…lol…he just seems exciting compared to Whats his name..I forgot.

You got older, TS and it’s not an exciting novelty anymore.

I'm actually starting to agree lol
