ranking moves
Masvidal up 6 to #5
Till drop 4 to #7
sorta surprising, Leon Edwards stayed at #10

Edwards thinks should fight Masvidal
Masvidal thinks he should get title shot
Askren keeps chirping at Masvidal

Yeah. RIP UFC.

Nah. They are hedging their bets here.

I'm not saying they are clairvoyant, but I do believe streaming platforms will start gaining steam over time and become a more normal proposition for consumers.

People are paying 100+ $ a month for cable/internet, but a lot of customers are opting for internet only. They can then purchase a few streaming platforms and effectively have access to more content than traditional cable.

Either way the UFC just wants eyes on product. PPV numbers will still be bolstered by closed circuit set ups/restaurants and bars, scheduled viewing events etc.

I cut the cord 10 or 12 years ago. I've saved $8-10k in cable bills and get back 10+ hours a week that I might otherwise spend watching bullshit. Best decision I've made in a long time. Just the timeshift and a la carte benefits of streaming solutions are worth their weight in gold. I don't even remember what it's like to have to sit on the couch at a particular time to watch something, never mind the fucking brain cancer that is advertising.

i think it will hurt in the long run.
limits the addition of new fans.

think this is just another patch to try to save the mothership in its current build from sinking

don't watch everyday anymore, but still don't see their 2 top daily shows covering MMA
(around the horn, PTI)
last time i remember seeing talked about on PTI was about Conor

they should put stuff like the prelims online for free maybe

Depends on your local monopoly situation. I get 150/10 fiber service from an independent provider for $45/mo, and "Unlimited"/25 for I think $60/mo.

When I was in Atlanta all I had was the "Fuck you, peon" special from Comcast, at $75/mo for 50/5.
