After a full month of no events (holiday break), the UFC is opening 2021 with back to back early start times :francis:

The first fight is on a Saturday and will be the first
time in history the UFC will be on ABC, and they decide to do a damn 11am start time :stopitslime:

then, the second event will be that coming Wednesday with an 8am.... yes 8am start time :scust:

they won’t get back to normal start times at night until that Saturday for the McGregor/Poirer PPV.


When will the UFC learn that early, daytime events are a flop? Every time they do a day event the show draws weak ratings and/or PPV buys. Hell, not event with Khabib in the main event for a PPV a couple months ago could change that fact. That PPV only did 500k buys when it was expected to do a million.

bottom line.... the fans want to watch fights on weekend NIGHTS.... not in the morning time or early afternoon.
NFL playoffs this Saturday, they're not going head to head with that, MMA fans gotta stop living in a bubble.

I was on BGOL 2001ish to about 2016 or 2017 as Costanza and Art Vandelay. I've been lurking there again recently and a thread popped up there titled "So how many people left here and are over at the Coli?" I was interested in how people described this board and a bit bummed about the closed registration. I had no idea I had previously registered here until today-- I'm gonna give it a shot.

Damn R.I.P

:mjcry:
