the main dude doing that these days got $60 million to do an exhibition bout against a you tuber.
Fans like Mcgregor a lot better than that dude. [Reply]

I'm not comparing that product, they lack stars and are generally boring themselves. [Reply]

No one is interesting, no one stands out, it doesn't matter how good they fight when entertainment is part of the product. And 99% of the guys are about as interesting as wet paint. It's why UFC has had declining popularity for awhile.
What a horrible take.
It's not about entertainment in the UFC. It's about dominance.
Why are you comparing a real sport to WWE?
Connor's brashness only worked because he was backing it up by beating everyone. He built a huge a fanbase and is a huge star. GSP was just as big and carried that organization without any antics. He had the personality of a wet rag in WWE terms. He acted like a martial artist and never lost. The "never lost" part is what made him so huge. [Reply]

There wasn't a WWE comment in there...they have a serious star problem and it's why they'll keep running Connor back out there. [Reply]
The PPV buys are fine, they are killing it at the gate, have some international stars with the African champs, dont even have to travel the rest of the year for fight nights.
The UFC is doing fine regardless of what casuals like Mecca says. He hasnt even watched a fight since Lesnar I bet. [Reply]

UFC popularity is not declining. What makes you think that? [Reply]
I haven't watched UFC in quite a while, but was at a friends last night and we bought the fight.
Monster energy hair guy Moutihno ate a million punches and kept pursuing like a goddamn T2. At some point you've gotta stop letting him hit you in the mouth. I've never seen a human do that lol [Reply]
