a lot is the ufcs own fault for treating fighters so badly. the last year pereira, topuria were the highlights, could argue chimaev at the end... but it's all stuff you can watch after, not worth watching a whole card. scoring changes arguably, needed to reduce control time/takedown points.

there are good fights but its hard to be interested in the divisions or the overall rankings

google suggests its owned by the same one person it always has been. kind of amazing it never got sold.

who do you think the biggest name is currently for casuals/mainstream? i really can't think of one to even consider.

ddp and khamzat are the only 'rising stars' that i could even come up with that might meet that, but again i don't think anyone outside the bubble would know them any more than alex.

yeah it's hard to see where he can go from here, unless they somehow do book the jones fight for him to lose, which i don't see them doing.

seems like they tried to build sean o'malley but he doesn't come across like a big personality, and isn't good enough (yet) to dominate a division.

alex pereira is obviously the current project, and does have the aura needed, but that has a short shelf life with his age and skillset.

they wont give trump the same free pass, but already a lot of normalising 'well invading greenland is stupid... but lets look at how it could be done'

could be right about ufc relevance, no one has mainstream name recognition. divisions stalling for years. big fights seemingly impossible to book.

if having wwe does as well as it looks like it will for them, netflix would be mad not to throw money at ufc. feels like ufc and wwe could become more culturally relevant [derogatory] in the next couple years, with how things are going with trump, zuckerberg and dana white.
