is UFC in need of an update?

<< < (2/2)

They need to get rid of like 12 different fighting companies and UFC needs to pay better to attract some of the great fighters from the fighting companies that remain.  There just aren't enough distinct personalities that can compete for so many different companies.

See right now the UFC brand is what sells PPVs. Once you start seeing other companies using stars from other promotions and having their buyrates go up then promoters in the boxing world will start selling fights based on fighters and fighters in general will refuse to sign exclusive UFC contracts.

So basically, the UFC will only stay strong as it is if MMA never gets so big the fighters start getting bigger than the brand, because once the fighters get bigger than the company and other companies have different big name stars and neither company will allow their fighter to cross-promote, then the Don King's and Bob Arum's will say "you wanna make some real money?"
