>only 4 billion
that's like the worth of the yankees or cowboys

isn't george knapp that nutty conspiracy guy whos always trying to break into area 51? im gonna wait for a better source.

ufc 200 was unequivocally the worst sporting event i've ever watched. point blank period.

Dana just got sick of this shit, didn't he?

...

>some dipshit was willing to pay $4 billion for the UFC, which can't even get the card for a major PPV set until 2 days prior

top kek

Actually broke attendance and gate records for the UFC in Vegas

The ufc is shit right now, friend, they have no real long time draws and made a really good move selling it while its hot.
Jones is a fuckup, mcgregor will drop tremendously if he can't keep winning, gsp is gone, brock might be a once a year thing, ronda got exposed and her super womyn meme died, anderson is shit and 80% of the card have no idea how to sell a fight

as soon as mcgregor loses 2 fights the company is dead

The main card was crap, but even then there's been far worse

Relative to expectations it was a shitshow though

What are they thinking right now?

From 199 it's all downhill boys. Nothing will top that.

Stars come and go, even if Conor loses again he still has massive star power

It's Vegas. Any event is going to be sold-out. They just happened to do it in a giant new arena

Tranny bunda, probably

cmon usa-sama don't be that stupid.

who in the roster has the possibility of becoming a star? Sage? the ufc is fucked.
Conor's whole gimmick has been saying he is the best and proving it inside the octagon, given the circunstancies he managed to overcome the diaz loss but should he get defeated again and then lose the belt his star power will diminish a lot.
Its the same with Ronda, she only became a star because she beat people quick and they started to associate her name to Floyd's and heavyweight's and saying she was the best yada yada and now its over.

this

>some dipshit cant build his own UFC for $2 billion

Is this the worst purchase in sports history?

There was that dude who almost bought the Islanders even though he didn't actually have any money

>tfw Joe Rogaine unironically said this shithouse is gonna be more valuable than boxing

LMAO

It literally broke the gate record, what are you disputing/

>who in the roster has the possibility of becoming a star

Who knows, the UFC is doing perfectly fine in non-Conor events, it's had its star shine and fizzle, Conor is no different

Your entire basis for this stupid argument is that you think the UFC is incapable of marketing

Ufc 200 was a shit fest and every smart person sees their lack of star power and knows they're dying

While you're full of shit, there is a nugget of truth deep within shit you've just uttered

UFC needs strong champs. Someone casuals could get on with, someone that can defend the belt at least 3 times (which corresponds to...1 dunno, 2 years?). It's a revolving door right now, champion comes, champions go, just in one night.

Afaik the only division with strong champ right now is women's strawweight, and it's not as popular as women's bantamweight division, where every household name is at right now.

Da joos

UFC is fucking finished

Probably bought by Vince McMahon so he can trot out his wrestling freaks to really keep the UFC juggalo fanbase excited

It was a shit 5 minutes, lads. I'm just glad it's over

>UFC juggalo fanbase

kek, I couldn't quite describe it myself but you've nailed it.

>Monster drink can
>Tapout shirt

This

They have no draw. I can't think of any upcoming fighters that I care about.

It was bought by the William Morris Endeavor. WME...not WWE.

I am just a casual but this like it holds truth to it.

But as a casual i find the whole UFC thing a bit confusing in the sense that they just set up fights however they want it. (or so it seems)

How about having real tournaments with groups and brackets where they duke it out and everyone gets the chance to rise to the top?

And ground fighting is just not that fun to watch for your average casual

Is he the fat clown from ICP?

WME has connections to Washington DC and Zionist groups. I googled it and within 2 minutes I could find out the background of the owners. Get ready to be diversified senpai

The Italian bros should've held on to it. I wonder if this means old Italian Joe Rogan is gonna get cucked, he was talking about cucks on his podcast earlier.

I honestly wondered why everyone on UFC 200 was claiming it to be the best ever. Dana knew the league is fucked and wanted out. Monster can only sponsor you for so long. The only good sponsor they got was Reebok.(kek) this sport will be over taken by something better in 2-3years.

Screen cap this

3 v 3 and 5 v 5 Team brawls when?

You're speaking out of emotion dude. Conor was a fucking nobody 4 years ago, now he's huge. Likely the next big UFC star is fighting in some shit small organization right now for like 1,000 bucks.

Maybe this """""sport""""" can be sent to /asp/ now that it will be rigged

>LA Clippers (the worst, most laughable and cursed franchise in NBA history) sells for $2 billion
>the ENTIRE UFC gets sold for 4

AHAHHAHAHHAA

Lol I forgot about that.

>bought by merchants
I'm going to watch Stockton blow McGregor the fuck out and then I'm done with this semen slurping sport.

Please tell me they're going to make it more like PRIDE and do tournaments.

>thinking the jews will allow memegregor to lose
