I like two cards per month. No UFC withdrawals and slightly stacked cards.
This was filmed BEFORE the accident, right?
Yes. I'm not entirely sure if Matt can even talk right now, despite being up and about.

It’s too bad. I was hoping this was post accident. Clicked on it, watched it, and then I heard him say “i might have a fight lined up in another organization” when joe buck asked him what was next for him.
Then I was like fuck
I notice you didn't mention baseball lol. But seriously you got some good points thereEh. I mean obviously you need those special cards that fans can look forward to for weeks, but having a high volume of events, both PPV and cable, is necessary if you want the sport to continue to grow and become more mainstream. The increasing number of athletes leads to a bigger roster, which leads to more events. And as a fight fan, I'm not complaining. Do people complain that there are too many football games? Basketball games? There were a lot less fighters on the roster during Matt's day.
I won't be happy until there's 2 cards of watered down mma on tv per day.
Chael Sonnen and Karo Parisyan have expressed similar sentiment. Chael said that less UFC event means more anticipation which leads in to the water cooler talk and build up in interest. Karo has said that, too many UFC event makes UFC events too generic.
Now Matt Hughes is saying the same thing:
