I haven't bought / watched a PPV in a quite a while. Most of my favorite fighters are retired or well beyond their prime and aren't in the UFC anymore anyways. UFC has a big problem where there's not many fighters who are exciting and who also actually fight. Between injuries and personal reasons some of the most popular fighters fight once a year or less. We have fake titles in how many divisions right now? Champs refuse to defend the titles... Conor, GSP, deRandemie, others are hurt... Woodley, Whittaker, Holloway. Then how many exciting fighters are currently out of action because of USADA? I'm totally happy with USADA catching cheaters but what we're seeing is so much of the roster isn't fighting for one reason or another. I find very little to get excited about with the UFC and I feel I'm not alone.
It's no wonder that Fox might pass on the UFC. This contract has been around for a while and during that time the UFC has lost just about every single exciting fighter they have. None of those guys fight on the Fox/FS1 cards anyway, so I really can't see how Fox is really benefiting much in this arrangement.
