Will we ever see a card as stacked as ufc 194 again?

Ufc 202 was weak AF and sold more than any other ppv. Seriously look at that card and tell me it wasn’t because of him.

Exaxtly just go look at his numbers for his past 4 PPV 194,196, 202, and 205 are like 4 of the top 5 ppv all time for ufc... the haters say it’s cuz they stack them and go look at 214 and 217 last year both 3 Title fights on each card and neither came close to breaking 1m ppv buys

If Conor is on the card they will stack it for more ppv buys like every time he fights so they can make it look like its all because of him.

It mostly is though, they stack it in the hope the shine rubs off. I normally don't comment on Conor unless he is fighting as too much drama follows any discussion, however his polarising nature has some folk just not aware of how big a star he was. I say was, it's been a while and i sense a wee bit of an attitude change as he stays out of MMA for longer and longer.
 
205 was the most stucked I guess.
Preliminary bouts of 205 will main event today's UFC cards.
 
Don't you fellas enjoy these watered down cards every week? Thought that's what everyone wanted . I'd rather wait and have a stacked to fuck card every other month than a bullshit fight night card every week crammed with women who have just been pulled out of Walmart

I guess you don't see the amount of hype/advertisement/promotion that the UFC provides for Conor's fights along with "his cards" having a lot of big fights to begin with. Lets see how a PPV with Conor vs. Evan Dunham and a bunch of no-name newbies does with little promotion from the UFC.

Also, UFC 214 and 217 both did over 850k PPV buys, but I guess that's not "close to breaking 1m" huh? The amount of shit from you fanboys is ridiculous.

I guess Rumble, Cerrone, and Diaz didn't have anything to do with UFC 202's sale. Haha sure.

No doubt he has tons of newbies, fanboys, and casuals following his every word. I just hate when they make it sound like a PPV with Conor just shadowboxing alone would sell millions of PPV buys.

Thought of a good plan for that. Knowing the UFC lately they may want to charge 20 bucks more for a card with Conor headlining.

Obviously they'll stack the rest of the card as they have done in the past . Put on two title fights on top of Conor fight. Offer fans to pay the regular price for the card without the Conor fight or pay the extra 20 with his bout. Then they would see exactly how many fans will pay for a great card with or without his influence.

Know at this point I'd buy it without him. Maybe if more people did that the UFC and Conor would realize he isn't bigger than the sport ,cut the BS and get back to fighting.

Another difference is the amount of promotion granted from the UFC, but that probably flies past your head. Not denying Conor sells, but to be so ignorant as to claim Conor presence is the sole reason for huge numbers is just downright moronic. You gotta have less than half a brain to actually believe that kind of BS.

Yeah, but Conor has enough dick-riders that he would probably sell enough to make the greedy UFC salivate at the chance for a few extra grand.

i mean to say he gets that much more promotion than the other big cards that Jones DC promo was running for months and same with GSP return the UFC was sellin the hell outta those fights too now yes compared to promotions like 221 222 those were hardly promoted 220 was promoted pretty hard and I was surprised by how low the numbers were I thought they’d be easy over 500k buys and close to 600k
 
It is going to be difficult to top a main event as good as Cyborg vs. that chick she just beat. People should have been paying $99.99 for a main even that awesome.
 
194 was amazing, 189 was pretty great aswell. 217...

All three are in my top 5 greatest UFC PPV's ever.
