Stann vs Lombard
Ryan Bader vs Machida
Davis vs Griggs
Mitrione vs broughton

 fun fights.. but I doubt it breaks 4 million viewers.

Will it atleast live up to UFC on FOX 3 is what i wanna know Phone Post

I wanna see em all! Phone Post

man I hope the numbers start going up for this stuff. if the UFC blows this and FOX dumps them, then what are we left with?

Stann vs. Lombard
Bader vs. Machida
Browne vs. Rothwell
Davis vs. Griggs Phone Post



the potential is immense

I think Rothwell vs Browne should be on the main over Mitrione.

It's a more relevant fight.

Im not hating on anyone. I just know that this time next year things will be better.

No proof just a feeling. And mmalogic is always negative, ill give him the occasional "that's a good card" though. Phone Post

No one on that card is a big draw. What are they trying to do on Fox?

They put a few of the big draw fighters on fox. Sonnen, Bisping, Rashad, Cain, and now Dos Santos. There are maybe 5-8 other BIG draws in the UFC.

When Elite XC pulled those numbers, MMA was still somewhat new to the masses. And there wasn't alot of competition. Now you have free MMA on every week.

Things will pick up as they build stars on free television.

They do need to have a true headliner in the near future though. Phone Post

Rhonda Rousey v next victim fixes this all. Phone Post

I am Juan Eli Manning - Rhonda Rousey v next victim fixes this all. Phone Post
I agree with that. If the UFC has women though, there really is not a point to Strikeforce. Phone Post

Yeah I just read that and it would be interesting maybe not sign her for a 3-4 fight contract just the one fight to see how it goes and how the ratings are. But her opponent can't be a nobody push over they at least need some as attractive and has some decent creds Phone Post

Sarah Kauffman is next. I don't see her getting taken out in the first. Phone Post

Haadogei - Stann and Machida. The others don't belong on prime time network tv. Not fighter bashing, just really disappointed by the direction on the Fox thing.


They should be putting title fights that are low selling PPVs on Fox instead (Frankie-Bendo, Aldo-Koch, Faber-Barao, JDS-Mir). Use the Fox platform to push your less popular champions.

Even if they didn't do title fights, they should at least do "famous superfights" like that Shogun-Hendo fight or like Vitor Wand coming up.

They are trying to use Fox to push guys who might be more famous in a couple years like Phil Davis, Weidman, Nate Diaz, Hendricks, Lombard etc. That is a mistake - Fox is the wrong place for that.


exactly how I feel about it

Humphrey - man I hope the numbers start going up for this stuff. if the UFC blows this and FOX dumps them, then what are we left with?
You think fix will dump them and pay them 100 million dollars a year for no programming? Phone Post

lol I dont think you know how contracts work.



 You honestly believe Zuffa would sign an exlusive 7 year deal and put on fights like stann vs lombard and diaz vs miller if Fox could just back out?

they are both stuck with each other,,, difference is if they continue to burn through the fan base it took zuffa years to devlop in trying to build up fuel Fox still gets what it wants and worst case if UFC becomes even more niched they can place different programming on it once it's in 70 to 80 million homes.  Getting fuel into 70 otr 80 million homes is worth 700m alone to fox.

The problem is if things continue zuffa will be worse off in the US market than when they were on spike.  They arent going mainstream... they are going backwards.
