UFC and Bellator are all i get on tv but if i had AXS I would watch them all.
I think we're past the tension and nervousness era of MMA, which was mostly built on hype and style matchups. Now we're in the craftsmanship era where you just have to enjoy the sport on the basis of the technical level being so high. It's like the San Antonio Spurs era of the NBA.
Ok, here are some ideas that may or may not work for you.
Start playing monster's. You'll start to know more of the fighters and feel some kind of investment in every fight. Alternatively, find some other way to create artificial investment, just to get yourself going again, like the betting exchange or verdict.
Find a fighter you can care about, maybe start following a regional promotion close to where you live.
Find a team you like - often you can get to know fighters before they get big because they are training partners of fighters you like.
With all the UFC problems, it's hard to be into the fights when there's so much business being focused on. It's like with team sports, when your favorite player gets traded or someone you've been conditioned to think of as the enemy gets traded to your team. It's hard to get those good, excited/nervous feelings back, imo.
No
UFC 211 should be great; I will be nervous for a few of those fights. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do, though. It's not been a good year so far at all, but least we have a good one to look forward to in two weeks.
That is for damn sure. I missed the last couple UFC events and didnt even realize they were on till my boyz called and asked if i was watching it. I was watching my NY Rangers go to the next round thats about it lol. I dont even miss Sat night PPVs. Like you said now that I dont care as much we go out much more.
