Do i hate the current UFC?

Too much foreigners who are muslim and won’t fight before Ramadan.
A few who are denied a Visa under Biden, doesn’t get any better under Trump.

Watered down PPV’s with no backups
Too much advertising during PPV’s
Boring same embedded script for years.

Did i miss a few?

It’s like the NBA, the foreign money and streaming keep it from having to get the best and brightest fight each other.

They protect their hype trains now like they did in boxing.

The UFC doesn’t get to wheel out freakshow celebrity fights like boxing.

It’s the refs that ruin it for me.

Stay the fuck out of the fight until someone is near death.

I do. Rarely, if ever, watch them anymore.

I miss the ‘Events’, i miss the buildup to a UFC Card. Now its a water downed product filled with zero personality cookie cutter fighters.
Same thing happened, to me anyway, with TUF. I miss the drunken idiots trying to cripple each other poolside.

I am not!

UFC has turned into a ruined orgasm fetish.

JUST AS the good shit is about to happen, the refs stop the action.

If I want that shit, I can just tell my wife that she’s just like her mother right before I’m about to cum.

I remember when cards were five fights that you genuinely wanted to see every one, and any of them could be the main event. There were many PPVs where I was as excited for the 1st or 2nd fight as I was the main.
.
In fact, one of the BEST things about PPVs at that time was that they were the antithesis of boxing PPVs. i.e. - stupidly expensive with one fight you wanted to see and a bunch of others that you were not only “meh” about, but had no idea who they even were.
.
PPVs were $19.95-24.95, and they alternated every month - PrideFC one month & UFC the next.
.
Now PPVs are what - like $70 & up? And you also have to pay ESPN like $15 a month just for the privilege of ordering a PPV in the first place?
.
The last PPV I bought was Chuck / Wandy and could probably count the number of full shows I’ve seen since then on one hand.

I still enjoy it for the holy shit moments like Holloway vs Gaethje.

I think they have too many women and lower weight fighters on the roster. I lose interest when I know that both fighters are incapable of knocking each other out.

ALSO:
.
TKO now owns WWE & UFC and they got stupid money from Netflix for WWE Raw.
.
Whenever the deal between UFC & ESPN runs out, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Netflix pay them a $gazillion to get the UFC, too - especially with how many people tuned into Tyson / Paul. And Netflix is going harder on sports in general.
.
So you’ll have to subscribe to Netflix in order to be able to buy UFC PPVs.

I watch every event I can. It’s got to the point that you can tell who is getting the special treatment, hand picked opponents because they’re company men playing the game. Someone of O’Malleys skill level without the endorsements and shit wouldn’t have sniffed the belt. That’s what I hate.

For me it’s how hard UFC pinches pennies. They suck.
