7 Finishes in Last 8 Fox Fights

3 on UFC on FOX 3
4 on UFC on FOX 4

Bravo UFC. The numbers don't appear to be great but if FOX keeps showing these awesome fights people are bound to start watching. That is all.

Well they need to stack 5. Im sure everyone was talking about how awesome 4 was and hopefully more casuals that missed 4 will tune in for 5 Phone Post

 unless the UFC can go back to the consistent weekly exposure it had on spike it doesnt matter what happens on fox.  They will always be swimming upstream until they can go back to the consistent weekly exposure that they once had to capture potential fans into the funnel.



with spike, if tuf wasnt on, unleashed was, best of pride was, replays were airing, fights nights, countdowns, etc...  the casual fans were able to follow the sport.  The shows on CBS actually created more UFC fans than SF or elite xc fans because all those eyeballs who were interested had to go to spike to continue to follow the sport because that's where most of the consistent, accessible content was.



Until the UFC can recreate this dynamic they will always be trying to fill a bucket with holes in it.

 

 UFC on fox 5 will probably be:



Cain vs Werdum

weidman vs Boestch

Have definitely been good fights, but have been on very busy weekends so many missed it

Logic why is everyone of your posts telling Zuffa what they need to do lol? Seriously every post is "Zuffa is losing the casual fan" "Zuffa needs to start" I think Dana knows what hes doing ;) Phone Post

Dont you know every mma fan knows better than the guys who run the sport.

But he isnt wrong with some of the things he says, they need to make some changes, like getting off Fridays, thats really the biggest thing they need to do. Get TUF mid week and Fight NIghts on Sat and I think they will see ratings go up for both shows.

Thing is when UFC was on Spike they were the king, they sat at the head of the table and could do what they want. With Fox they are looked at like you just came from the kiddy table, yeah you are sitting at the big boy table now but you are down at the end. NFL, MLB they sit at the front of the table. So UFC doesnt have the power they had, Fox is telling them what to do, Dana even said the deal came together fast and they kind of got thrown onto FX so Friday is the night. They still have one more TUF season on Friday before they would even talk about moving it.

They were a huge fish in a small pond on Spike, now they are swimming in the ocean on Fox and they dont have the same influence with the Fox guys.

if they were on Spike and moved to Friday and it didnt work the next season they would have moved the show, on FX they have to wait another season before FX/Fox will even talk to them about moving it.

I feel sorry for anybody who missed Fox4 on saturday. Phone Post
