Bear Backer said:It seems like the new business model of the UFC is completely different from what allowed them to get to the top of MMA world. Now instead of being about offering the "best" competition throughout the cards it seems like the UFC is focused on good competition for some of the fights, mainly the higher levels of the top tier divisions, while increasingly promoting the freak shows as the other draw. UFC had a lot of freak show qualities in its beginning days, but the difference now being instead of just taking all throws freak shows, throwing them in a big pot and saying "kill each other" they are going the route of the protected bouts with the tomato can opponents which no one likes with the exception of the greedy execs and the few leg humpers that get behind a fabricated legend like Bimbo Lice.
If I were a young quality fighter looking to make a name for myself especially in one of the less sexy divisions like lightweight and welterweight, I would be extremely pissed off by all this hot shotting crap that Dana White is moving towards with the UFC.
Couldn't agree more. Dana White is coming off as a hypocrite.
