UFC 305 Live Discussion - Sat 8/17/24

[IschKabibble]

Okay, I'm bored and waiting for my pizza to cook.

UFC has had several events on Super Bowl weekend. It seems like they don't really change the schedule to put on a big PPV unless it would normally be that weekend any way.

Seemed to be a bigger tradition in Japan. Inoki ran a few NYE shows through the 2010s.

 

[ArodJohns]

^ That's right. The Inoki Boom Be Ya cards.

 

[Flying Knee]

There are too many cards and yet so many options to make this better and more action packed.

I like the idea of 18 cards a year. 1 PPV a month, 1 free card every other month.

The roster is too big these days. The weekly cards are lilke a development league with prelim fighters mostly and one "name" atop the card. UFC doesnt really expect people to tune in to these, but they are crucial to getting fighters up the ranks and on tv..i never watch them either

That's an interesting point and one that I hadn't considered.

 

[Hauler]

I listen every single week, good content from the fellas
