Heavyweight division has been pretty weak for a while... JDS is pro... but the rest of the contenders are all just dudes who have beat/loss to each other...

Light heavyweight used to be the strongest division but now Rua and Machida are the two top contender to Bones and they were both destroyed by dude within the last year... and as much as Jones dominates he lacks the it-factor to really transcend....

Anderson is still rippin dudes up.. nothing wrong with that but once again competition is so weak...

The addition of the 343 flyweight divisions doesnt do anyhting either... I could see one division under light-weight but thats it... dominic cruz and aldo's belts should amalgamate an the new super featherweight division is just a joke.. delete that shet.

Ever since champions stopped being white a lot of people have felt its lost its luster because they know theres no hope of there ever being a white champ again. Once GSP is dethroned MMA is finished. The singularity has begun.

i think its more the brazilians are taking over and its hard to market someone like aldo and to a lesser extent JDS to someone who is a casual watcher...

The bad guys and legends are tipping out plus you seeing more of these Fake fighters in there, Jones and rashad evans are some of the last good ones left. Also there trying to tone it down for the mainstream and we all know what happens when shyt get mainstream.

the fox deal also over saturated the market

as of right now, they dont have the star power to be putting these 2-3 cards show per month

and you gotta taken into consideration that (jsut to name a few

Tito Ortiz (retired),Chuck Lidell (retired),Mirko (retired)
Rampage,Matt Hughes,Forest, Shogun, wandy are all :flabbynsick: and reaching the ends of there career's

they havent really found the fighters yet to replace all of the names i just listed to carry the UFC brand

Do you think the addition ofr Daniel Cormier could spice things up a little bit in the heavyweight division. I heard Dana wants him to fight as light heavy but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Low key truth. MMA was a way for white guys to be relevant and claim superiority, because boxing supposedly didn't incorporate all your limbs, and was less technical, because guys couldn't come at you many different ways :heh: Now that the low key truth has been shown, CACs losing interest. Who the f*ck really wants to watch dudes roll around on a mat for a half hour? Watch, if NASCAR drivers suddenly were 90% black, you would see a dramatic loss in interest overnight. But to have fallen off, you had to have been on top of something, MMA never fell off, because it wasn't on top of anything. UFC sucks, Pride F-1 better than UFC, f*ck I look like watching dudes dry hump each other until one surrenders to the other :scusthov:

shyt it started with the insurance policy that has every major fighter taking months and months off to get paid and vacation without risking the belt
