Media Why are we still in the APEX?

[Khaosan]

Because you touch yourself at night.

Hard agree, Apex atmosphere sucks so bad. They'd make more money touring the fight nights around to towns and countries that don't usually get a numbered event. Like instead of being in london in the UK do a fight night card at sheffield arena or doncaster dome or something. Instead of the same US town do somewhere where the low income homies can feasibly get a ticket and see a show live.

Can anyone give ma a back story about him? I have no idea who he is, what he is known for, his views, anything

Probably cheap to rent

should find out how much they charge to do birthday parties

I actually liked the crowd less events. I like being able to hear what's going on. Strikes and throws sounded great and impactful.

What I don't like is events where I don't care whatsoever who is fighting.

Even PPVs have maybe 2 fights I do care about.

Quality is ALWAYs far above quantity.

Sure but it seems like they completely gave up on growing the sport because this isn't how you do it. You are robbing guys of great moments and highlights they would have had in front of a crowd which in turn promotes the sport and sells tickets etc. This ain't it

Growing the sport significantly at this juncture would have to involve paying fighters more, which we know isn't going to happen.

Imagine if nba played in a high school gym

It fits the UFC perfectly, imo.

It's so incredibly bush league, and that's exactly what the UFC is. A bush league fucking circus
You get better presentation at goddamn jungle fight, and that is a fact.

I actually prefer APEX events without screaming crowds but I agree that the quality of the cards has declined.

Maybe Dana has a special room in there for his emotional needs.

To save money you fuckin goof

I don’t prefer them, but don’t hate em. They are kind of intimate, weird as that sounds.

 

[Fjord]

Just don’t get why they still haven’t redesigned the apex so that it looks halfway awesome, like a real fighting space with awesome colors.

Even the space or gym they use for TUF with bleacher seats looks so much better than the apex. Kind of bizarre seeing that drab and flowing monochrome green everywhere.

 

[sonhow]

Yeah pretty hard to defend this, and I usually am pretty forgiving when it comes to fight nights. Its just so obvious the main goal is to max profits. They should have moved away year ago.

Apex is great for dwcs. That concept should stay as it is.

He's just a Youtube personality, and a pretty hilarious one in my opinion, unless you're PC. Some people don't like him because he's super critical (read: talks shit) about a lot of fighters. So basically the vibe of these forums but in video form.

 

[King in the North]

the answer is obviously money but holy shit this fat neck beard sucks

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I think they justify their TV contracts with those and also it must be cheap as fuck since they own the place.

UFC found a loophole with those shit cards.

 

[Yep]

Because the revenue share with the fighters is such a huge percentage.
