The tweet I saw (and didn't save) described a raw/smackdown kind of deal, in which fighters get associated with one network or the other and only cross over that line for PPVs.

It also had some vague thing about fightpass losing the fightpass fights and DWTNCS completely replacing TUF, which is now dead.

Ugh. Apparently the source is Terez Owens, so I guess we need to wait for confirmation. I saw Okamoto retweeting it and thought that meant it was solid, but apparently the original source is only solid enough for real media to take note and basically go "whoa, huge if true".

Other things of note in the report (assuming Dana denies it) are UFC is getting 320 million/year total, network-exclusive fighters outside of PPV, and ESPN/NBC's streaming services getting the fightpass prelims.

The report also says that the UFC would create W105, which.... why? I can see it down the road maybe when the women's talent pool is further along we can bring on the atomweights... oh we need more championship fights and more money. OK, carry on.

this deal sounds great, but is there a way we could handicap our ability to matchmake and give up control of our roster to two competing networks

The UFC should make a division where they can only punch each other and they fight in a ring instead of a cage, they could do like 12 rounds for three minutes instead.

I can't see them doing it because having events fall through like 223 did is going to be ever more punishing if they're one of 6 PPV events for the year.

Just use twitter. Make an account that's @CaptainLogMMA, put "MMA BREAKING NEWS" into your description, and follow a bunch of people like Helwani. Retweet and start spreading headlines around. That's all there is to it. You don't even need the story, because people don't read the story anyway.

If you want another layer of effort, use MS paint to make fake headline "screenshots."

A world where UFC PPVs don't have fighters without Wikipedia pages in the main card is far too much to wish for.
