It's always the same music before hand. The same interview style between the two fighters. The same gladiator rubbing his hands with dirt. It really hasn't changed in a while. That could be good or maybe you think it could be bad. Depends on your opinion.
My 2 cents. I think one thing they could add to the production would be the ref cam like the PRIDE days. It'd be relatively inexpensive and would simply add another point of view.
The Struve KO made me think of it.
It's needed to "refresh it's production" since 2007.
YES
The production is so beyond needing an overhaul that it's not even funny. The stupid Roman chant during the tale of the tape, the nu-metal opening score, the 1990's fight preview music, the over-concentration on hardcore, toughguy macho bullshit instead of the natural intrigue of the fights themselves...this is one area Pride has their ass kicked on. Pride had a lot of fuck-ups, but the ability to make the sport have dignity and seem grand was outstanding. TUF is crapping up the sport's dignity too.
Wow, i have been saying this for YEARS. Honestly, its embarrassing, it's just inconceivable to me that the UFC production team doesn't realise that they LONG, LONG ago looked stale, boring, and it really is just shoddy especially when compared with Pride. I cringe whenever the UFC starts, in fact I just fast-forward if I am watching a replay because its just such a turn-off, I feel like a dickhead even watching it I hate it that much.
It's just terrible. We get it, these guys are "gladiators". PLEASE change it up, it's been old for years and seems very meathead with the rage music.
yes
The prefight stuff really doesn't bother me. It's like complaining about the opening for Monday Night Football. To me, it doesn't add or take anything away from the fights. I'm not even paying attention most of the time. That's get the food/drink ready time.
Yeah it's horrible.
BRING THE PAIN
But seriously, whoever chooses that music has the absolute shittiest taste in music period.
If you like the UFC's music, I could never be friends with you. Ever.
Didn't Dana wanna have Limp Bizkit play during a UFC a year or two back?
I am not one of those people that thinks UFC has to do what PRIDE did (nobody could bring that back), but it would be nice if they tweaked things a little bit.
Not really. And it is awesome in person, ie at the live event. I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
bring back the ramp
it's bad when fighters are coming out to the cage and you can barely see them because people in the crowd are reaching out at them....then the fighter's get their hat stolen and their shirt almost pulled off
I think this is one thing every MMA fan agrees on.
It wouldn't hurt. I honestly don't pay much attention to what goes on between the fights.. but I might if it was more interesting. I always enjoy the spectacle that Dream puts on.
Honestly. Being brought up on Pride and having to deal with the lameness that is the UFC is a pain so indescribable; its like being a kid and told Santa doesnt exist and then just for good measure being kicked square in the balls and then laughed at by 100 people as you squirm around on the floor, naked.
I like it i thought the ramp was cheesy i dont want that back the only thing i dont lime to much is the gladiator thing as that is dated the rest is ok in my eyes
What about the ref cam?
