All of you cheering, be careful what you wish for. The demise of the UFC may put this sport back into the dark IMO. Hopefully not, but if the Ali Act disrupts the model enough, we may see the fighters scatter across 4-5 orgs. If you think cards are top-heavy and scattered with no names now, just wait until that happens.
We might be about to go from one extreme to the other. One where the fighters lost out, but Zuffa and the fans won (yes the fans won because we got to regularly see the best fight the best and only had to follow one org to see 80-90% of the top fights) to the other extreme, which is boxing. The most marketable fighters will get paid a lot more, but they will fight one another way less often and if you thought it was a chore before to watch all the top guys by watching every UFC event, good luck going forward when you'll have to watch every UFC, Bellator, ONE, WSOF, Titan, RFA and who knows what else to see the same 80-90% of top-ranked fights. Extremely watered down cards coming to an MMA theatre near you.
The current UFC/WWE model had major flaws, but scrapping it for the boxing model is going to suck hard. I'm hoping that's not what we are facing, but when I put the puzzle pieces together (Ali Act momentum + Zuffa parachute), it's the most likely outcome IMO.
