AxB Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The nature of fight sports. Liverpool only play Man City twice a season, unless they also meet in one of the cups. There are only so many big matches in a league season - by definition most of the teams are mid-table or lower. Whereas Dana is intentionally packing these shows with top to bottom feature matches, that would normally be main events. Makes it harder to say "This show shouldn't happen under these circumstances" if you actually want to see something that's on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Watching a bunch of Fight Pass, thinking about the most underrated non-fighter MMA Folk Hero. Not Mask Lewis, not Lenne Hardt, not Just Bleed Guy... I want more respect paid to Rashad Evan's Screamin' Mama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 What kind of baffles me is that, aside from everything else, why is UFC stacking this PPV? If the whole point is just to provide content and fulfill contracts just stack these cards with scrubs, tape them if you want, and throw them out there. If this 249 card actually goes off this one of the deepest shows in UFC history and either people won't care due to the eight million other life events happening or be more turned off by the fact it exists. Also, to be darkly pragmatic, Henry Cejudo or Ferguson testing positive in a headline spot gonna be a bigger news story than some mid-level fighter.

Shit - half of these fights could be used to headline weekly events anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to sell the shit out of this PPV to make up for the money lost with the shows that haven't and/or will not happen. They have a roster full of fighters who need money and a lack of events to put them on why the fuck not? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of these fighters, the ones who could train at least, have been training for over two and half to three months and never stopped training. At some point, I imagine you'd wanna fight.

There are a lot of people trying to get on this card because there is no telling when the next one is coming. The entire industry is in limbo, so if there is a fight to be made, a lot of fighters are going to say yes when they'd usually say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
