Article on mmajunkie explains that UFC is making it hard for hardcore fans to come for full events because it's half fights half filler. If a card had 12 fights on a card and they all go to a decision it's only 190 mins so basically 3 hrs of fights but that is unlikely. Usually the avg fight time of all fights is 2 hours or so and if the fans show up for the first fight of the night they end up being there for 6 hours or so while we at home watch commercials and cheesy analysis. Also a lot of the time fights cards are running over the alotted time yet still have all this filler material. The article explains how this is becoming a problem for fans that want to come watch all the fights. I think they need to focus on there time management more and satisfying the fans that are paying the money to come watch live. At home you can change the channel or do other stuff while waiting. I like the idea of 10 fights a night. Either 5 prelims and 5 main card fights or 4 prelims and 6 mains. Thoughts?
