They'd have to go to a quarterly/bimonthly ppv model or we'll only have ten weekends a year without fights

So what exactly would be in the new lineup?

I guess if ESPN are getting into the UFC game their website will be a great place to get info from ...nevermind (it's fixed now but earlier today was all sorts of hosed up)

Lots of pod-casters uncomfortably talking about Paige Vanzant getting a boob job, it could just be good contouring/lighting/photoshop of who ever is running her instagram, but getting a boob job seems really counter productive as an active fighter, both in time out and in terms of weight cut.

I predict that a lot of those cards will be small shows in Vegas, splitting the difference between DWTNCS and an old-school TUF finale, doing a 6-8 fight card for tourists, full of prospects and veterans. poo poo, they might call it pUFC - penUltimate Fighting Championship.

Bec Rawlings had a boob job and she's basically the best fighter ever.

Is there like a an official D-league type structure for UFC? Or that's handled by The Ultimate Fighter show and cherry picking bush leagues

Or that's handled by The Ultimate Fighter show and cherry picking bush leagues The UFC is its own D-league now and has been for years. There used to be this whole lucrative business for "UFC veterans" on regional cards who got a pay bump, which has completely disappeared and now people who wash out of the UFC (like genuinely wash out, not just get an equal or better offer to fight in Russia or whatever) end up doing bareknuckle boxing and poo poo like that

JJ should have a press conference acknowledging that before signing, and then after the contract is signed, flip the script and talk whatever poo poo she wants.

She should go up in weight and stop losing to rose repeatedly. Just my opinion.

Not only that but all the blood that goes to the decision making part of her brain will now go to those brand new beautiful mangos so that her fight IQ will fall drastically.

I’m not sure how many cards I’d catch if I had to stay awake past ungodly hours to watch them so I get that. I just feel like if the only thing you have to offer a discussion thread about a certain topic is how little you follow or care about that topic, then maybe shut up?

espn is an extra subscription charge right? was fox basic cable only or was it also terrestrial broadcast? the reason i ask is that their ppv forecasting relies on a bunch of stuff like social media engagements and tv viewership, so there might be some wacky decisions and numbers coming out in the changeover period.

Fox is network TV so you can get it in most places without cable, ESPN is basic cable, then the billion FS1/ESPN2/etc. things are in your rear end in a top hat sports packages.

Oddly enough, playstation vue has fs2, nbc sports MLB and NFL networks and Spanish language sports channels on its lowest tier. It's a pretty good service if you're a sports fan. I am not a big sports fan, but as a mma fan, having access to UFC stuff for cheap is pretty awesome.
