The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 300 ON NOW

Its crazy how much they're promoting Aldo/McGregor already. The fight is 3 or 4 months away. But they haven't really done anything to promote UFC 187 which is closer in time and is supposed to be one of their annual big cards.

I think UFC 187 will sell itself, it has such a good intriguing card.

They have gone through the same motions for 187. Remember the stare down where Jones and Rumble faked that scrap?

But true to form 189 is getting mad press because of Conor and the **** storm he is trying to whip up with Aldo.

This World Tour they're doing is nothing like they've ever done. It's outright ridiculous tbh

 it's just the same thing over and over again, comes off as cheap. But to casual fans I guess it's something new

They haven't done the same thing for 187 at all. That event you're talking about was one of those events UFC has been holding every few months to drum up interest for upcoming cards. Weidman, Belfort, Rockhold, Machida, Dillashaw, etc where all there. And the only thing that staged fight got was promotion for that press conference they were holding.
 
Yes sir! Kevin Ross is a beast. One of few American nak muays that actually fights like a Thai.

Wasn't aware this was am exclusive thing... :smh:


Conor was on the fighter and the kid podcast the other day (Hosted by Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen)

He basically said he sees the media as a facet of the fight game. Just like striking, grappling etc he uses it as a weapon because the media frenzy he generates around his opponent is unlike anything they have previously dealt with and that has the potential to wear a guy down. So this dumb *** tour would be a perfect example of that. Pretty interesting perspective....

He also said his favourite pastimes are shopping and counting :lol: :pimp:

I agree @Vincent Van Ho. My original point was that they're promoting the hell out of 189 but they haven't done **** to promote any of the others ppvs, especially 187, which are coming up sooner than 189.

Besides why spend all of this money promoting an Aldo fight 4 months before it happens? I wouldn't be shocked if the fight has to be rescheduled cause he got hurt in training or got kidney stones again.

Not to mention, McGregor/Aldo is going to SELL a TON regardless. They are excessively promoting the fight and it comes off as cheesy. Dana himself said they've never done anything like this World Tour for any other fight in UFC history

I don't care what they choose to promote or how much they choose to promote but all I can say is having this many staredowns and press conferences for one fight seems a bit much

If someone gets hurt I would seriously

 but hey if they have the money to burn on all this press more power to them

Any muay Thai fans in here? AxisTV usually puts on good muayThai/Kickboxing cards.

Bendo just called out Woodley on twitter.

Dangerous but a smart shout imo. High profile opponent and It's a fight where he could most likely dictate the pace.... if he doesnt get ktfo'd of course.

Perfect! Great match, and that frees up Michael Johnson to fight Anthony Pettis

Woodley should either fight Bendo or Hendricks
 
What's woodley's ranking right now? Don't see much reason for him to fight henderson besides him being a name opponent.

Woodley should be one fight away... should be Hendricks or Bendo. Bendo should be on a win streak right now

Bendo is going to give up a lot of weight. Woodley looks like a "big" welter weight.

The physical composition difference between him and Gastellum was crazy.
