Ufc needs a minor leauges

[Pensacola Martial Artist]

Needs one to be on regular cable tv and do away with Tuf. Would be great way to find up and coming talent and it would be fun to watch.

They have them and they are on cable
Legacy FC and RFA are feeder leagues for the UFC and they are both on AXS TV
You should pay more attention to MMA

I liked WEC, which was their offering of lightweight and below, plus their minor leagues for welterweight and above.

Only pay attention to conor lol

I suggest that any thread including the term "need" be exiled.

"Gray Maynard Needs to retire"
"Dana Needs to allow Conor back on 200"
"The UFC Needs to get rid of 125"

I forgot you guys where fighters/promoters.

This ^ and in a way every other MMA org is the minor leagues to the UFC.

It's called the smaller, regional promotions like RFA, Legacy, TPF, etc. Check out the Worldwide MMA Discussion for more info.

I made a thread about this today. Was shocked at how many people disagreed, and considered the current feeder leagues to be adequate, and thought 650+ fighters fighting 1-2 times a year is reasonable for the roster. But u have to consider that crazy people are the loudest, and stupid people are next.

Get rid of the UFC 125lb divison ? Total discrimination , where would the dwarves and midgets get to fight ? Sorry i mean' little people'.

That is what the Fight Night cards and prelims are for. Since 2005 when the Fight Night series was introduced, the UFC has served as both the premier MMA promotion as well as a developmental league.

Ive always considered regionals the minor leagues. Some how some of the certain bigger smaller orgs needs to have more publicity and media attention. It would be nice if Zuffa did more of it with fightpass.

Isn't that what Bellator is.

Says the guy who misses a period.

Fucking halfwit.

The problem is that there already is a minor league. It's intermixed with major league fights on every card. You can't tell me that of the 540 fighters on the UFC roster, the bottom half are elite.

To be generous, I'd say that top 100 are elite. Which means that 440 fighters are minor league level guys watering down card after card.

LOL I was mimicking the way he wrote the title.

Dipshit.

RFA.

The prospects come from the minor leagues that already exist.

Check out JBJ's early fights.
