I’ve said for a while that they should remove TUF and put that money into embedded style episodes for contender series. It’d give people a good idea of the fighters before the episodes and help build the aura/star of the fighters once they get into the UFC.
Mate, im from Brazil. Here we dont buy Pay-per-view any more. The UFC fight Pass we pay 50 dollars anual, and then we can Watch all events live + all the UFC content and old fights.
I don’t like the financial penalties because you’re just making poor fighters poorer. I think being ineligible to move up the rankings, point penalizing and other punishments should be used.
1. I agree. 2. Thank you! I've been saying this since probably 2018-19. They missed the boat by not putting Colby and Jorge as rival coaches during their rivalry. 3. I agree. This is pretty annoying. Clear your division, WIN A FIGHT in the following weight class, and maybe get your title shot. 4. I agree. You forgot to mention Women's Atomweight (105 lbs). There are women at 115 who are ridiculously undersized for that division, getting 30-27'ed way too often. 5. The type of venue that hosted Yan vs Merab is perfect for these Apex cards. Very OG if you remember the OG Early 00's UFC events. When you have cards like Cortez vs Namajunas selling out arenas, there is no plausible reason to keep using the Apex. It's ridiculous. 6. Agreed. Streaming is the way to go. They don't even release their PPV numbers publicly, so who knows how much they actually generate. 7. Do they have Kickboxing or Muay Thai events on Fight Pass? 8. Eliminate TUF, expand the DWCS. Nuff said. The UFC letting Soldic get taken by ONE, only for ONE to sit him out for most of his time there is insane! 9. If they did that more, I would watch more often. I like some of the video calls, but the rest just get mundane and repetitive. 10. OMG. I've been suggesting this for years. I swear all these UFC posters look the same, month after month. UFC 300 was different, in a horrible and lazy way.
Just discovered your channel and subbed. I agree with most of the points, except for more weight classes. The heavier weight class, lhw and hw are too shallow now and theres not a lot of really high level fighters in the world currently in heavyweight to split them in to two divisions.
Great ideas!!! Definitely need more events at smaller cities. I went to an event in Seattle back in 2012 for $50 & they're just now coming back in 2025. We for sure need more divisions as well. I think the UFC needs to have their own set of rules & we absolutely need yellow cards for grapplers stalling. If a fighter is just holding on for dear life stalling like Holly Holm does against the fence, or Aljamain Sterling just going for the backpack & never causing damage!!! Yellow card, deduct a point for stalling after a warning. Stalling would be not pushing the action during grappling after 15 secs.
Take 100% of show money if the fighter misses weight and there will be no catch weight fight. If they miss weight 3 times, they are out of the promotion. 3 title defenses or 1million ppvs before jumping up for the next weight class belt. No warnings for fouls. Take 10% off fighters final purse when they do a foul. 3 fouls and it’s a dq defeat. Get rid of 1 pound weight allowance for non title fights. If you fight at 155, your maximum weight is 155, no excuses. Dana has to give suspensions or fire bad judges and bad refs. He’s done it before.
I got a better solution to weight misses: why not same day weigh ins? Weight Cutting is effectively legally sanctioned cheating and it completely defeats the purpose behind weight classes. So how about instead you weight fighters 1 hour before the event instead of 24 hours? Fighters won't be able to water cut 20 pounds then rehydrate in that instance. In this way, it will force then to fight much closer to their natural weights.
Idk about adding more division. Boxing has 17 division and there are only 5 divisions people care about cause the talent level typically thin in those Super/Jr. weights.
Instead of a bigger fight penalty for missing weight set up a tier system. If you miss wait a 1 lb takeaway 20% if you miss it 5 lbs take away fit it's about more than that take away 80
Canadian here, we pay PPV, everything else is free on Sportsnet (Canadian ESPN). They can’t do the general UFC Fight Pass for everything because of all the deals with the various networks. WWE’s network also failed and they switch to Netflix Monday. No hate here just discussion. Do a follow up show with ideas and responses from the comments. Some decent takes in here.
Yeah I’m highly impatient cause I want a fight night card in MICHIGAN, I think the only one they had in MICHIGAN was when one of the Shamrocks were fighting and training out of Lions Den which is non existent anymore…. There are so many crazy fans here plus our small scale fighting orgs prepping these athletes to get to the big leagues. BRING UFC BACK TO DETROIT MICHIGAN!!!! LITTLE CEASARS ARENA IS HERE READY!!!!! That place will be close to selling out or actually sell out ong
More divisions is terrible. There’s not enough talent to have stacked divisions across more divisions than what is already available. There are already divisions lacking in talent and adding more divisions would only make divisions more shallow.
DDP didnt say he wants Double Champion status Alex pereira challenged him and he said alex will lose against him cause izzy knockout him out at middleweight and will lose power cause of the weight cut your blatantly lying about DDP
Your thing doesn’t make sense . I love the weight cut penalties but the getting rid of tuf ? How do you say I love battle and get rid of tuff when he’s from a newer season ? Then you dont want people to move up but want more divisions. More divisions mean people will go up and down alllll the time
I wouldn't listen to you or anybody out there Dont fix it till its broken If something is bad it will stop working And obviously you are super fan or sort of expert But i dont think you understand business Nobody cares as much you do Its all depends on favorablity from weight cuts to other stuff People just have the habit of giving feedback where there is no need for Sure can something be improved byt should it be does it matter No At best its slight difference

I don't think the ufc has enough talent to feed more divisions. Quality over quantity. I'd rather have stronger divisions than more divisions.
Ngl the slight size differences also make match ups cooler. Seeing "smaller fighter" overcome smaller weight differences is pretty cool.
Or they can just increaee the weight divisions by 10 pounds and ban dehydration
Dana white has literally said that in his mind they’re all feeder leagues to the ufc.

We definitely need waaay less Apex Cards

Frozen rankings is the way to go. Or they gotta fight the guy and his dad like they do in mother Russia.
Man you are Speaking some facts. 🔥
6:40 I meannnn it’s also the way it works in the fkn ufc 5 game THEY licensed so technically it is canon

Totally feel you on that! The UFC definitely needs to shake things up a bit. Let’s hope they start listening to the fans more!

What's the name your mixed martial arts company bro ?
I can afford to pay for the ppv, but at the price point it’s at now it’s easier to justify just streaming it
