In 2005, the first year of the Ultimate Fighter and the boom it inaugurated, the UFC saw $48.3 million in revenue that year. That has increased more than eighteen-fold to $890 million in 2020. EBITDA too has grown, from $6.7 million in 2005 to an estimated $423 million in 2020, a 63X increase.Jul 9, 2021
Unless it costs more than it makes why would they kill it?

Also it's fun and gives us lots of fadable betting options as heavy favourites. I take it back 😅

Would have blown the roof off and Masvidal may not be facing charges right now. Shame and what a wasted opportunity

Jose Johnson, TKO, R2
Johnson is a good underdog pick. I really think he can win this.

Claudio’s height has to be wrong on here, this is not a 1” difference

Sadyakov decision
Evenly matched and Hassanraza is probably the more technical striker. Love the way he uses elbows. But the glaring hole is his game is the takedown defence and the fact he stays on his back.
Liete decision
I'm sure the UFC want to push Cowan as the blonde all American athlete and former gymnast. But the truth is she only took up martial arts later in life. And she has a vulnerable ground game. They both look strong and likely striking will be relatively even, but on the ground Liete takes it, maybe even with a submission.
Cartwright submission
Hardest fight on the card for me. Johnson has the power advantage and the size, but Cartwright has a legit wrestling and submission game. This fight is ending inside the distance and my strategy is take the wrestler with a good chin amd good cardio over the striker.
Valenzuela decision
Seeing the weigh ins changed my mind. Valenzuela is much bigger. They are both not good. And though he has power Ribeiros striking is wild windmilling punches. Both lack cardio, both lack striking defence, both are vulnerable to leg kicks but both has ok chins. Either could win, but for me seeing the size difference is again the wrestling and ground game and Valenzuela really does push for submissions.
Ribovacs submission
No doubt Paull is dangerous. But the clear path is there for Ribovacs. Take it to the ground and it's over.
I will be happy if I get 3/5 right on this one
