God damn, there's like 90 UFC on FX/Fuel cards before UFC on Fox 3 and they're all shitty. Why not merge some of these things? And the UFC wonders why their ppv numbers are dropping. They're spreading themselves too thin and the quality of their ppvs are suffering. Either get out of the ppv ghetto entirely or make it worth paying $60 bucks, not this boxing-card type shit where there's a big name main event and everything else is blah.
-This weekend's card is awesome main-event, blah everything else. Who in the fuck is Clifford Starks and why is he on the main card of a UFC ppv? I don't even remember him from Bad MMA.
-Sanchez vs Ellenberger would be the third best fight on a respectable ppv. The rest of that card is crap.
-Japan card is awesome, can't hate on that. Main-event is weak though from a casual perspective. It won't crack 400k buys.
-Alves vs Kampmann is the third best fight on a respectable ppv. The flyweights would be on ppv prelims in the past. The prelims for this card are total crap though.
-Diet Nog vs Gustaffson would be the opening fight on a ppv. There's a couple good scraps on the main card but those would be Spike-prelims to a ppv in the past. The undercard is crap.
-Other than the main-event (Bones-Rashad), every single fight on 145 is prelim material.
-UFC on Fox 3 doesn't have a main-event. No, Miller-Diaz isn't main-event material. Opening fight on a ppv.
I'm all for free mma on tv but this is a case where more isn't better. Instead of having stacked ppv cards and stacked tv cards we have middling cards of both. I'm actually going to have to force myself to watch some of these things. Before for me it was "yes, there's a UFC card this weekend!", now it's "oh, look another bland card. I guess I'll watch it if there's no football or basketball on".
