That's disappointing. I wonder if it's due to a lack of a good headliner.

I think it's a smart move. I can't imagine how much of an added expense it was for a nominal gain. Not to mention that if you have 3 events in the same week you're depleting your roster for a few months. Theoretically it could allow them to be more selective and load up the 2 events much deeper than the 3. I know that won't happen but it's a possibility. They're also going to be doing the HOF ceremony the day before so hopefully it will get a little more attention and be a bigger deal than it has seemed in the past.

3 was always completely excessive, this is a rare correct call by the new chumps.

The 3 days of events was great. The expo had start to run its course and has been getting worse and worse every year. But they're out of their mind if they think anyone is gonna be hanging out at an outdoor fan experience in 110 degree July Las Vegas.

I stand by my assertion that two events rather than three is wise, but everything WME seems to touch turns to shit.

Maybe I love a circus and a freak show a little too much, but there's no passion or Soul to this.

It doesn't feel big and epic and larger-than-life, but it also doesn't feel raw and gritty.

It's just sort of lukewarm.

BINGO. The UFC feels corporate, because it is corporate. They even have a dress code now. It's definitely lost it's pizzazz.

It's why Bellator is so refreshing.
