The only change I want to see is that they drop the pre-fight shit talking and endless media hype.
That's my only complaint. |

They (Dana White) said the story is bullshit. Not the first time he denied something that came to pass. He has a minority stake 10%, Fertitta Bros each have 40%, and an Abu Dhabi media company owns a 10% stake.

Dana White is Jihadi-sympathising, Harry Reid-supporting, American Military-scapegoating piece of shit.
I was an ardent UFC fan until I realized the above. Haven't watch, nor had an interest since He and Chuck Liddell literally appeared on the campaign stage with Harry Reid, to endorse him after Reid boasted "the surge has failed, the war is lost". |

They are currently broadcasting and hosting events on five continents. Beyond the UFC, there are numerous smaller promotions putting on an increasing number of amateur and professional fights throughout the US. Youtube hosts tons of MMA focused videos, a lot of them with millions of hits. The popularity of MMA/BJJ has reached the point that there are franchises of schools throughout the world. And an untold number of smaller gyms opening up all over. From huge metropolitan areas to little towns of a few thousand people. MMA has grown over the past 20 years and continues to do so. |

The problem the UFC has is that there arent that many stars like in the beginning. They get one or two people and hype them up to no end (Rousey, McGreggor) and when they lose it's a complete panic. Dana White has no recourse other than to keep on hyping the person who lost. Rousey is an extreme example Joe Rogan who is BFF with Dana used his show to constantly hype Rousey like she was the second coming. When she got destroyed their whole world crumbled. Same with Connor they hype certain people and when those people get exposed it's panic mode for UFC.
Their talent roster isn't what it used to be. |

The Chuck Liddell's, Rich Franklin's and Tito Ortiz's of yesteryear would likely not ever gain, and certainly would not hold, a belt in today's UFC. That said with the expansion of the roster, the numbers of fights and fighters, it is hard for anyone to gain name recognition without a) serious showman / promotion skills (see Chael Sonnen, Connor McGregor) and/or b) serious media hype from the UFC (see Rhonda Rousey). |
