Update for
@Mad Dog
2017 was bad and 2018 has not started out well either. I was way off with my Stipe/Francis prediction of 450k (actual reported is 350k). Kind of worrisome when your biggest hype train in a while (N'Gannou) gets a shot at the title after DESTROYING poor Overeem and they can't break 400k...
As always, PPV buys are all about star power. That's the difference between 2014 and 2015+2016. Without GSP coming back last year, 2017 could have been the worst year post TUF and without something big for 2018 it's not looking so good. Maybe they can get Conor back into MMA? It's been 17 months since he had an MMA fight and there is no word that another is on the horizon. Ronda is toast no matter what she does. That star has burned out. And let's be honest... she ain't never fighting again anyway...
