UFC just does not want to be accessible to the general public does it?

They are just too greedy! They had a wonderful deal with FOX, which is broadcast TV and reaches both those who have cable/satellite and those who don't. So they reached a much wider audience than they did when they were on SpikeTV [which is now called "The Paramount Network"]. But the UFC wanted too much money and FOX refused, so they moved to ESPN now. The amount of money that the UFC owners make compared to what the fighters make is insane. Plus, they don't provide insurance or health care for their fighters.

On a different note, I am stoked that WWE will be coming back to broadcast television. SmackDown is scheduled to premier on FOX in October.

No health insurance to people beating the **** out of each other? That's criminal.

They view them as independent contractors, so they think they don't have to provide benefits. Yet, the UFC struck a sponsorship deal with Reebok, and the UFC forced all of the fighters to stop wearing gear from their sponsors and said that they can ONLY wear Reebok gear. This caused many of the sponsors to drop their investment in the fighters, and the fighters lost money.

So, they are independent contractors, yet the UFC can tell them what they have to wear? That doesn't jive.

► Anderson Silva 3

► Whittaker 2

► Jim Crute 1

So for our game the Anderson fight is all that matters

In a world with Lucha Underground, watching the UFC is like passing up pussy for a hole in a park bench.
