UFC Is In Crisis Mode (What to Watch Instead)

[Tweak896]

for me, it's the boxing-esque cherry picking that has crept into the upper echelons of MMA that make it less exciting. i liked back in the days when motherfuckers really believed they were the best and were ready to take on all comers. it was faster paced because the guys were just constantly fighting even though there were less fights overall compared to today's MMA. you get to see the different styles fight each other in their primes, not 1 great fighter waiting for the other to age before they fight them type of shit that happens now a days.

it's just a whole bunch of blue ball syndrome to me. hyped for Islam vs Arman, didn't happen. hyped for Ilia vs Islam, didn't happen. hyped for Ilia vs Arman, didn't happen. hyped for Jon vs Tom, didn't happen. i didn't waste my time watching these fuckwits careers just to finally watch them NOT fight the next best guy.

Reminds me how boxing is now too. Nobody fights each other until way later.

UFC in 2025 lacks talent first of all cause they don't wanna pay for any.

Who are all these world class top ranked fighters outside of the UFC that you think aren't coming because the money is better elsewhere? Name names.

things can change though. i agree with what you're saying, but i don't think it's over in the sense that the UFC can't be beaten. i just don't think it can be beaten by another MMA org, but i think some kind of giant scandal or some unforeseen catalyst in the future changing the landscape of the MMA world could happen and significantly affect the UFC in a good way for the fighters/fans.

Yeah.

They can only be beaten by themselves type of thing.

Which ... yeah that could happen.
They are a multi billion dollar company being run by meathead fuckin idiots.

UFC imo has been "failing up" for a good while now.
Riding the massive momentum of zuffa and Conor/Brock/Ronda.
