What will the UFC do when they have no champions who can Draw ?

[Dessyboy]

And it isn't really the fighters fault, they are there to win fights.

But like anything in life which costs money, people pay with their wallets and certain fighters and fight styles are unappealing to casuals.

The UFC already has several champions who cannot headline a PPV by themselves, well not get good buys anyway.

The UFC is going to have to start having cards with 3 championship fights

The days of having champions like prime GSP, prime Jones, prime Conor, prime Chuck and Tito, prime Rousey seem a long long time ago.

I figure they will either send the existing ones to art school or look for new ones with natural talent

 

[World eater]

They will promote the UFC brand instead of fighters. Oh wait…

 

[Pulk]

In future stop signing wrestlers and let em sign to other Orgs

 

[payton]

Trade the boring ones like they did with DJ.

They need to push Aspinall, he's star material.

Also, give Alex Perreira easy / big fights.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

The UFC brand itself draws to some degree so they can weather the storm.

They'll push Aspinall like a motherfucker they just want to milk every single last drop out of Jon Jones first.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

That was the logical conclusion to their business model of putting the brand first. Eventually the brand will be associated with boring, no name fighters because they stopped building stars because they emphasize the brand first.

A fighter will always come along, Alex Pereira is a draw and he came out of nowhere.

They always do..

 

[Uber_Noober]

Contingency plan is already in place, it’s called PowerSlap..

 

[Pechan]

Fill the cards with fighters who do draw, this isn't boxing, people don't just tune in for the main event.

 

[mangokush]

The UFC needs to get rid of the wrestlers & grapplers and focus on strikers and brawlers only

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

BMF Title fights and BMF Title eliminators as main card draws…

While the legitimate UFC titles can be fought for on the prelims…

 

[Ares Black]

I don't see what artistic ability has to do with anything.

 

[Sakuraba'sEar]

Like others already stated, it is brand first. And has been for awhile. The Connor, Rousey era was the last time promoted individuals really led the promotion.

One Championship is more intriguing to me

I also like RIZIN, and will be posting more in the worldwide MMA forum
