Pretty much, ufc has been running a train on its fighters for years, unless your Connor the pay seems low

i answer all my calls, but i also have zero issue hanging up on some one its mostly fun for me cuz i fuck with them sometimes

Fair pay would go a long way to attract top talent, although most MMA fighters are going to be tied to contracts in their current promotions. The shift will be a long process and won't be easy, it would be very cool to see though.

It's sad that these guys need fight youtubers or to act like WWE wrestlers (which definitely sells to their consumer base) to make any real money

all i know is if they keep charging the same crazy ass amount for ppvs im still not going to watch

way to expensive to watch one fight like nobody gives a fuck about the undercards its the main card people want to see
and even then half the time its a garbage fight or over in like 3 mins and you paid all that money for the crappiest fight ever

thats a terrible system i feel like that encourages people to stream it illegaly like 10x more then if they were to reasonably price the content


is there even any good fighters left too? like entertaining to watch? feel like they all left and all thats left is super technical guys that hug and roll around or stomp on feet and shin kick
i miss seeing guys like chuck liddel and rampage going out there strictly to try and KO the guy they are fighting that shit was entertaining they werent the best fighters but they were fun to watch

ufc are for people with brainfish iq lmao its fuckin awful

Gonna agree with ya here. Khabib style of fighting is boring and a snoozefest, regardless if he's undefeated.
It's like watching Mayweather boxing. Yawn.

you need to fight defensive/boring to survive your career, look at all the former hockey enforcers

Have to agree with you. Pure heart from those fighters. They lacked technique compared to others in their era but they made up for it with brute force and tennacity.

Rampage winning fights with powerbombs and Liddel coming out swinging like a mad man. That is when I was a big UFC fan that would go out of my way to watch every PPV at the bar or we would chip in at someone's house for the PPV.

Now I only watch UFC if I happen to be at the bar or if someone asks me if I want to watch it somewhere.


I think you get the bullshit WWE style characters like Mcgreggor and a long list of others because that is how you make money. They act like maniacs to get attention so they can make more money.

I feel it is a circus act to compensate for the decline in the entertainment aspect of the sport.

I don't blame fighters for not wanting to be a Liddel or Rampage because with all the evidence that is out there now with CTE nobody wants to get blasted in the face too many times because the consequences are so obviously severe now.
