Fox ruining the ufc experience

[Nimmy]

Can help but think fox is ruining the ufc for real fight fans. It's been on for five minutes and already it's more American gladiators or celebrity deathmatch than the ufc. I hate it

[UK_MMA]

Yup. It's way too dry and 'NFL' for me. I just block it out.

[Nimmy]

It's shit, this is a sport, fox is making it a freakshow. The production Is the worst iv ever seen from a genuine combat sport, even worse than world combat league. Proper cringe

[Temeura]

The production made me think of The Gladiators.

if they used pugil sticks we could have shadow in the ufc and have a british champion, awooga!!

Under 3 million viewers.

That is attoricous.

This UFC/FOX partnership so far has been a colossal disaster.

if dana white somehow reads this, then the following statement is a lie:

i downloaded it

so i skipped past all the cheesy swooshing CGI and fanfares and the rest of it... i was surprised at how much of the event actually lacked fights, there was at least 2 gaps of 15 minutes or more between a few of them, they could have put one of the terrific flyweight fights on in that time! i don't like the analysis table and all that.. put that on in a post-fight show if it really has to exist

i understand that there was a lot on for them to compete with... someone on sherdog said there were a couple of big american football games on, a lot of people are going to the avengers, mayweather was fighting etc etc but still that seems really low

shame because they missed a good card!

oh well... only 7 more years and counting lol

people watch the UFC for the fights , nothing more nothing less.

An NFL game only has two teams competing and therefore the commenatary, interviews, features etc... are all relevant as it adds an additional feature to the main spectacle.

The problem lies where you have a fightcard that has 10 fights and you only see 4 of them because the rest of the time is made up of the bullshit content they put out at the expense of the actual fight airtime.

Id rather watch an extra fight than 40 minutes of build up
