In addition to what everyone has said I find the product hard to get behind. I know now they're more talented so guys come out of nowhere and upset the champ, but then the champs tend to drop off fast after getting KO'd. That's why particularly exceptional people like Jones are the main draws. An example is Israel A. He was good for awhile and has fallen off sharply. There are too many guys like that. Pereira is a hard puncher and a guy who will outmuscle, but what happened last night was bound to happen as he's not an all around guy.
The WWE type promotions from everyone these days is a bit much. Then hugging it out after just reeks of fake promotion. There has to be another way they can promote the fight instead of pretending to be frothing dogs in the weigh ins. It's all getting old.
