the UFC is incompetent, they threw away the build-up MMA developed in Canada and now they're doing it in Brazil

Yeah, what ever happened to canada??

I never understood filling overseas cards with local talent. Give the cards a bit of star power and people will watch it.

Why would I go to an event filled with a bunch of no namers?

Seems like their modus operandi whenever they go to a new place is to have a good card the first time around, and then have watered down cards with mainly local fighters at a low cost on subsequent visits, relying on their brand name and prior success to draw fans. Phone Post 3.0

Condit, Alves, Oliveria, Lentz, Formiga, Reis? All these guys are no-namers?

There were loads of no namers on the card though. I doubt any Brazilian fan cares about Lentz outside of the hardcore fans, most probably know Condit though.

It's showing that Zuffa's plan to grab as many no name fighters and have them only fight in their home countries in hopes of filling international cards with lower paid talent to pad their bottom line isnt working as well as they thought it would. They have WAYYYYYYY too many fighters on contract.

MMA is KO'd!  I thought that in a wild, 2nd world country like brazil, where people are more elemental, in tune with natural instincts, such as high violent crime and high birth rate, MMA would have more legs.  Guess MMA in its current "sport" guise loses out to the visceral old skool vale tudo fights, with throngs of people chanting and placing bets

honda/bethe in brazil is going to be a massive show tho

Well, even the fighters were complaining that night about the economy.
When have we seen that?

I went to the UFC last time it was in Vancouver for free and I wanted my money back.

They've thrown such shitty cards here, they deserve to fail.
