Four mega cards a year with the rest of the stuff on TV would be a nice middle ground. I'm not saying it makes financial sense it would just be nice as a viewer.

I suspect there's a fear that they will look like they're shrinking if they cut back, but to casual fans the small shows might as well not exist, so I really don't see the harm.

Ditch posted:Supposedly, there's a break-even point for the added cost of doing PPV and the provider not giving the UFC much of a cut until a certain number of buys. Small shows are often at or below this amount. Meanwhile, various sports bars are getting rid of PPVs because the small shows are worthless. And to top it off, fewer people watch a small card on PPV than when it's on free TV, so the fighters on the card get less exposure. They clearly don't have 12 PPV-worthy cards per year or even close to that amount. Fewer PPVs would be more special, and they could load the cards up enough that they wouldn't be ruined by a single injury. Last year their domestic and international TV deals earned 214 million. They made 236 million from PPV. Now that Rhonda is dead and Connor is on his way out a network might be able to get the numbered events. I think UFC wants around 400 million for their new deal but anyone paying that wouldn't allow any PPVs.

CommonShore posted:That would be nice, but I'd rather see them strike up a deal that lets them end geoblocking for TV cards on fight pass. This lead to the ridiculous scenario of a card in Australia being blocked in Australia for the first 48 hours or something. And it was that really fun one where everybody got finished and Louis Smolka won via "Half-Circle Forward+HK" They seem to have relaxed it a little bit recently, though. Memento posted:That's kind of a tune-up fight for Carlos. This should be a fun fight. Magny's game and tough, and I honestly don't think Condit has ever been in a bad fight. Even the Diaz fight provoked many thousands of words from angry Nick Diaz fans.

Luke Thomas said on his podcast today "There is some big news coming out about Luke Rockhold, in 2018, that is unrelated to his fight career, that I can't quite share. Really big news" 42:35 in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uQcWBIjF14 Anyone have any idea? He's running for political office?

Memento posted:https://twitter.com/ufc/status/915732612206886912 I think Magny has graduated from tuneup to threat to anyone not on their game. It'll be an interesting fight, Carlos' huge cardio advantage won't be there, but I suspect his offence is too good and varied for him to not be able to force Magny to slow down by landing and take over through that.

Carlos wasn't landing 'human being punches' (as Mario Sperry would say), and he clearly knew exactly how to frustrate Nick. Clinical, except for going to the ground briefly later on (and I don't believe Carlos was in any danger of being finished).

I hate watching legends like Carlos get killed by hungry fighters It's cool when retired or semi-retired guys come back hungry like they were 10 years ago but watching condit getting smashed because hes been doing well in the gym makes me sad and I don't like it when it lets all the noobs say "he always sucked, couldn't wrestle, trained with gay greg jackson' That being said, I want to watch Carlos Condit fight again. One of my favorites of all time

Even if that wasn't one's thing, though, the many, many angry posts were hilarious. Essentially, a bunch of people who love a fighter because he rarely goes to decision (I mean, he does, but their image of him does not) were trying to explain how he won a decision. It was great.
