What stage do you believe UFC is at?

UFC is on the downward stage. It’s losing popularity, losing fans, and losing fighters with any appeal. It’s actually become even more of a fringe sport with watered down cards and unlikeable athletes. It’s the sports version of disco. I enjoy disco music but most people hate it with a passion just like the UFC.

Not true. If you're gonna lie then tell me there's a broad in the car waiting to tongue my balls.

Don't worry, athlete unlikeabilty is going up everywhere. So its a wash.
 
It will be a thriving company for decades to come.
 
JUST LOL if you think Dana is actually holding it together llLOL brokies think the dardest things
 
Lets see: acceptance, hope, faith, courage, honesty, patience, humility, willingness, brotherly love, integrity, self-discipline, and service.

I think we are stuck between brotherly love and integrity.
 
The sport has reached main stream. They should look at scaling it back to super niche and invest in the fighters and limiting the rules. Get rid of the big corporate sponsors and bring back xyience, mickeys, and condom depot. Like a vicious cycle, it needs to reinvent itself and find the passion for martial arts from the offices to the canvas. Bring in specialists from different backgrounds and less of the modern bro mma training fighters. Lol basically old ufc would save the current ufc

In the US it has stagnated for sure. But there is a massive global market that all sports (including MMA) are trying to reach. Obvoiusly that is where the growth will have to happen.

Like most leagues they need some good charismatic stars as I don't think they ever really replaced GSP, Conor, even Ronda....people who could get the casuals to watch. WNBA just had this happen with Clark. NBA is going to grow huge b/c of their internation stars (Wemby, Joker, Luka, Giannis, etc.)

UFC have definitely gotten too big for their britches and gotten to a point where their identity has suffered..


Like... who is their current official Corn based nut snack product anymore? I don't even know!!

:Lets see some journos get out of the game and have the new stars exist in a more reasonable less witch hunting world.

I made another thread two or three days ago that quickly became lol'ed because of bad takes, so...

The thing is: NBA, NFL, football (I'm from Spain, so I mean soccer I guess)... have evolved a huge leap once advanced stats/data analysis set in.

NBA is 75+ years old, most popular sports competition in the world from the early 90s (I was a Jordan's witness, man I'm old...) and still, no coach back then could foresee a team playing like the Warriors or the current Celtics.
No coach could ask for a player like Curry, Jokic or Luka. They would never "happened", the game just wasn't there yet.

"MMA on a cage" is very, very young and still niche even if the martial arts involved stand for centuries: they were not crafted or teached for this means.

Do you believe UFC will evolve as it keeps growing, producing not "better" athletes per se, but athletes that will approach fights in ways we may feel counterintuitive but will prove effective?

TL;DR Will the UFC undergo some pivotal landmark due to advanced stats, like D'Antoni's Suns or GSW? Will it guide fighters towards a whole different fight game, as if we compared the way Kareem and Jokic play?

NBA has never had any players who have hitted old mens at bar like Conor.

Zero doping scandals
Zero fight after a game
Zero rape
Zero misogynism
Just NBA and yes they deserve that money too for that.
 
UFC is fine but won't experience a big leap in its talent ceiling until it pays better. People love violence though.

Sherdog is dying though bro.
 
a transitional phase. anyone calling it on a decline is missing the bigger picture. a business cycle begins and ends within 4-6 years and right now its on its end. its marketing and promotion is hilariously outdated but MMA made is mainstream a while ago and it'll only grow from here
