Ufc is introducing too many new fighters

The moment I get into a fighter they are popping new ones up all the time. Look at the lightweight devision. It is getting out of control, I can't keep track of all these new faces. They have the stars they should promote them and build up more brand names like chuck or Randy

Who has more money, you or Dana? I think Dana knows what he's doing when it comes to marketing.

Actually he doesn't. Just marketing to the Maxim reading, budweiser drinking, pick up driving crowd isn't going to make this sport flourish.

It may do good now, but once that idiot crowd grows up, the only thing left will be true MMA fans, and Dana has been slapping their faces since day one.

It's not the UFC's fault that you are too dumb to keep up.

Not to mention - the new names they are bringing in that you can't seem to remember - you will remember a year from now.

Thiago Tavares is a BEAST
Frank Edgar
Tyson Griffin
Clay Guida
Gleison Tibau

Maybe, but not this much. He could just as easily give us more fights from the fighters we know. He could start by NOT keeping Hughes/Serra on the shelf for 6 months just so he can overhype it on TV.

He could give us Shogun sooner than September.

He could let Sherk fight more than twice a year.

This is true, but we arent in japan, out here those power crazed nazis at the nsac would never allow fighters to continually fight throughout the year.
And you cant really have a UFC event at an indian casino.
plus remember that the ufc also has to figure in the paychecks for the big fighters and as much as the ufc has gottten popular out her its still got bringing in the amount of heads the sataima was bringing in so we cant always have the biggest names everytime.
