The sad fact is The UFC has become a joke pushing fighters like conor mcgregor just for him being irish and fighting a weightclass below guys his own size
i loved UFC back in the old days of chuck liddel when guys showed up to fight and did not take year layoff after they won the title .
UFC cant put a good fight on and when they get lucky and get one they must rematch it way too soon !!
dana is a cash cow and since 90% of mma fans are noob kids they dont know what road UFC is taking mma down!!
boxing fans have seen this before and boxing is still recovering from it older fans see this kid fans doo not even the crowds are not going nuts anymore
UFC noobs listen too dana white while MMA fans watch there sport die

Dana said in a interview that he doesn't have anything left on his "to buy" list. In his own words he have everything, and still I don't get why they are such cash druggies. 

The sport is only going one way. DOWN! The sport is getting ruined by all the money talk. The fighters don't get the same respect anymore, and  the UFC is just selfish.

Such a joke that McGregor is coming in making so much every fight now. I mean last card he made more money on his forth fight than Cerrone has ever made in one fight. SUCH A JOKE! All this is only happening because the three UFC uncles is so determitted to make more and more money.

Aldo will deal with him for me with some nasty leg kicks that will take his movement away I see it being abit like gunner nelson vs rick story but I don't think UFC will say how alike they are as fighters anymore since gunner lost and soon Connor will too .

And if Aldo don't fight him Mendes and Edger will control him on the ground

followed the sport as long as anyone here just cos I can see past the UFCS bs does not make me any less of a fan :)

fans like you ruin the sport with the name calling since you cannot handle my words  I gave you facts about the UFC and said what I think will happen didn't once say Conner was **** in any shape or form I think the guy is talented but his hype is unjust

UFC is ruining the sport they buy out every org and the talent cannot grow meanwhile in the ufc the same fighters rematch over and over again what are they going to doo when JDS has too fight CV for a forth time
I think McGregor shows how much the UFC will value a irish fighter over and british born fighter

I doo not hate MMA OR UFC but these feel like dark days in the UFC I miss the days off ufc 50 where fighters came too fight and let there fights speak for themselves


jon jones wont fight anyone atm dc rumble and GUS give him nightmares and UFC keep him safe
UFC didn't fine jones and DC so the committee did its not a lil sport anymore and UFC will never get into new York while people like Dana White Run the show

I always love it when someone spouts a bunch of opinions and calls them facts.  It lets me know immediately that they are a person of no consequence.  The poor spelling, worse grammar and use of phrases like "cash cow" in a manner that makes it clear they do not understand the meaning of the term is just icing on the cake.

I'm amazed that people who have a way to make a lot of money are continuing to do so. How selfish of them. 

Dana is a cash cow? **** you are stupid.

The UFC shouldn't be trying to make money. They should be putting on fights for free.

I have some problems with how the UFC has driven the sport. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of props too but what's wrong with opinions and criticism? I know the OPs post was kind of stupid but I'll add my 2cents.

I wish 1. The UFC would of focused more the ART of it all 2. Much more focus on the Martial Arts rather than pushing it as an NFL kind of sport in structure. 

I wish the presentation was more like boxing, in terms of being classy rather than reminiscent of the WWE, but honestly I'd wish they'd emulate neither because MMA has it's own cards to play, like the Martial arts, history and culture behind it which is much older than the Country of Brazil...ffs.

I wish the UFC wasn't such a monopoly in choosing your walkout songs, your wardrobe, what talk shows you can and cannot go onto. The complete raping of freedom of speech. Not allowing fighters who already paid their debt to society to fight, forcing their baggage to be carried with them forever. Scripting countdowns and trailers and when fighters don't comply they just chop what you say to benefit them, they own your ass.

I am rather disgusted with the bias against grappling, every wrestler now thinks as Danny Castillo does "how could I lose if I was on top?" When Hendricks beats Condit, or Mighty Mouse beats Torres because people don't know what they are watching and those who do can accept it...despite it morphing the sport in a hideous way..it takes a serious **** in my cereal.

I think the UFC makes poor choices in what countries they go to, rather than worrying about the sport and talent, they want to go where they can best air TUF and have PPV buys. I mean Mexico? China? Fine, despite having almost NO TALENT but why not first go to Korea, Poland and Russia countries riddled with great fighters and prospects alike? Why Germany, simply because it's a wealthy country...Adding a 115lb womens division when every card is so diluted carrying interest from one card to another is a rare feat, I mean...What the hell?

the presentation was more like boxing. ^^^^^ GTFOOH.  Get rid of the crappy male fighters like Nijem and Brennaman and add more woman weight classes. Plus Make" Yo"  Romero vs Weidman after Weidman beats non TRT Belfort.

The sport wouldn't be close to where it is today in terms of popularity without UFC, that's just a fact.
