Whittaker/Rockhold is perfect example of everything wrong with the UFC today

[mmmjojo]

I get that it's a home turf fight for Whittaker and others. They'll make a decent gate but you're already setting up Whittaker as a bad draw because the rest of the card is shit. Now, he'll won't have any negotiating power because Dana will just keep using the numbers to hamstring him.

I think Conor is a better example of what is wrong with the UFC to be honest.

I remember a simpler day when we just watched fights and didn't discuss PPV buys

The card is terrible. Thankfully the main event is awesome.

UFC is dead, bro

Well yeah.

If you spoiled your child for years and then lost complete control of him, the odds are the next kid will get the whippings.

Wow that's a trip down memory lane there.

Lol

I could give a rats ass how many PPV buy are generated. I'd like to see the best fighters defend their titles and fight the guy that is next in line. Logical and way to easy to implement.

This isn't that type of thread, bro. This is a systematic move to railroad someone's chance to ask for more money should he keep winning. Throw him a bone by making it in NZ, but stick it to him later at the negotiating table.

Maybe I'm getting old

Complete shit for a PPV. And I can almost guarantee there wont be another big fight. This card is a 2 fight show with Whitker/Rockhold and Hunt/Blaydes.

Some bullshit Dana is putting Whitiker threw, this guy has fought nothing but killers, and cant even get a decent undercard. But we all know once Conor comes back, Dana is gonna load that card up with nothing but "Just Bleed Strikers".

 

[Pokemon24]

This card appeals more to the Aussie fans who are more familiar with the fighters on this card. I mean Mark Hunt sells like crazy whenever he does a card in Austrailia or NZ. Just my opinion!

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Yeah headlining a PPV what a shame

I'll pay $60 to watch Bobby Knuckles KO Rockhold any day

 

[Dead Kennedy]

That’s basically a FS1 card

Both are pretty good examples of what is wrong with the UFC. Don't promote active, awesome fighters. Promote loudmouths, keep their mystical reputation intact by giving them winnable fights while protecting them from bad ones. Overhype the shit out of completely irrelevant fights (conor vs. diaz/mayweather) while ignoring amazing talents like Whitaker and Rockhold ... whom by the way one of which will need to lose and damage their reputation in the eyes of casual fans because of the bullshit marketing they have gone with in Conor's case. I highly doubt Dana will come out and defend the loser by claiming the winner was 747 pounds bigger and that it was just amazing that the loser was even in the same cage with him like he did in Conor's case.
