I've been one since the UFC buyout that said "GOOD! Get Zuffa OUT of here!" Zuffa were the guys that put the sport in such a shit spot. They are the ones who gave us crap card after crap card, with maybe 4 fighters MAX that we've ever heard of or give a crap about, and they kept shoveling that crap to us for years while simultaneously insulting us by jacking up ppv prices.
WME has gotten a LOT of heat but imo it's because of the mess they inherited from Zuffa. Zuffa were the ones who didn't create new stars in the last 5 years. Zuffa were the ones who made mma stale and lost droves upon droves of fans.
Are we finally seeing the much needed change in mma that we've been craving for years?! I hope so! And if you add in Scott Coker doing good things over at Bellator, and basically playing PRIDE's Sakakibara to the UFC's Dana White, and giving mma fans 2 worthwhile competitors and different flavors of mma, I am actually (hesitantly) hopeful about mma's future, for the first time in YEARS!
