I still love the sport, don't get me wrong, but I find myself watching one even every nine months now if it's on free TV, whereas I used to watch in a pub somewhere every single PPV.
There is typically only one PPV a month the rest are ESPN fight nights. With MMA being a fast growing sport and UFC the premier league to fight in they have to increase the amount of fights to keep and attract the talent available. I’m a huge fan so I watch everything including early pre-lims as I love watching fighters rise from the obscure to big superstars. I can see how it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but the amount of talent in the UFC compared to 10 years ago is night and day.
