What one UFC card in June COULD look like....

[TheEmperorRises]

-José Aldo vs Max Holloway
-Derrick Lewis vs Mark Hunt
-Cláudia Gadelha vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz
-B.J. Penn vs Dennis Siver
-Michael Chiesa vs Kevin Lee
-Holly Holm vs Bethe Correia
-Vitor Belfort vs Nate Marquardt
-Raphael Assunção vs Marlon Moraes
-Andrei Arlovski vs Marcin Tybura
-Dong Hyun Kim vs Colby Covington
-Tarec Saffiedine vs Rafael dos Anjos
-Takanori Gomi vs Jon Tuck
-Tim Boetsch vs Johny Hendricks

I wish they'd go back to this format- one massive card a month that they'd soend weeks hyping you up for. I watched the card this morning from Sweden- good fights, but I'd seen no promo material for any of those fights except for 30 seconds before each fight happened. I feel like they spread themselves too thin by having so many cards.

I agree with you. Big fights, less of them. Much better model. Then support smaller leagues as a way to the "superbowl" of MMA. It worked before to build the sport, I believe the current format is not working as well.

It actually honestly does. It has depth but its top end is pretty shit.

Throw Penn v Siver, losing streak Holm v cleaning lady in the trash. Other women's fight is for a runner's up prize.

Co-main is great fun but is not an elite fight at this stage, one guy is still very limited, the other past it and possibly distracted by suing the company.

Vitor vs Marquardt in 2017 ASADA era? LOL. Chiesa and Lee? Not bad, but still 'meh' for me for some reason.

Main event? Both guys fighting for a belt abandoned by a guy who decisively beat them. Kills the excitment a fair bit.

Y'all know I pulled all of those from their actual events in June, right? Cause if you don't like that card, you're REALLY gonna dislike the 4 UFC events in June....

 

[Filthy]

Add a WMMA Lightweight division, that brings the total number of belts in the UFC to 12.
Put on a PPV every 6 weeks, with the main card being 6 championship fights.
If a champ can't fight, take the belt and let the top two available fighters fight for it.
Use FightNigh/UFC Fox events to build out the divisions and hype the fighters in the #5-#15 range.

Yep, fully aware. If you took all the best fights from July, June looks like complete trash.

Jones vs Cormier
Whitaker vs Gay Jesus
Lawler vs Cerrone
TKZ vs Lamas
Overeem vs Werdum
Justin GaethJesusth vs Michael Johnson
Superboy vs Fili
Rivera vs Almeida
Gunnar vs Poz...Pornzbib...um, PoonKhabibeyoo?
Gastelum vs Wideman
Stevie Ray vs Felder
Pettis vs Miller

6 title fights in one night? A potential of 150:00:00 of people point fighting to retain the belt? Any more than 2 title fights in a night isnt worth the risk.

 

[so long]

Imagine what 1 card per year could look like

No shit. Give us one great card this year UFC. Just one.

yep
MMA was gold when all fights were a must see

TUF ruined it IMO

Some say Tuf saved MMA and I think it killed the purity of the events...way too many forced personality/storylines and drama

I just want to see proven fighters walk out and show their skills

Have to have fights on every weekend. Without it we are stuck watching baseball. During football season I could see being a little more tolerable.

Maybe we could convince Bryce Harper to charge the mound once a weekend. That makes things more exciting.

Or have brittney wear a different michael jackson mask and costume each week

I want to see someone charge the mound and get caught in a guillotine choke.

Sometimes I feel this way also...
Double header football/fight cards are great.
