Don't think I've ever been so checked out of the UFC before. This year has been so bad, every fight so far has felt totally pointless and it'll probably stay that way until Islam puts his belt on the line in August or whatever
They're really mailing it in under this new Paramount deal. I think it's pretty obvious that this organization has plateaued until Dana gives up control and hands it over to someone who actually still cares about it
I'm pretty he already gave up control he's just the face of it. Hunter Campbell the one running it
Damn Jiri got slept by a male stripper?
Brodie look worse now lmao cus it's like you were knocked out by a stripper lol
dana doesnât have control, he doesnât do s*** anymore, itâs all hunter and sean shelby. dana wasnât even involved when they were trying to get jon on the white house card. heâs just the face, heâs not putting together fights, negotiating contracts, building events or anything like that. he said so under oath and not a single fighter ever mentions him when they talk about getting signed or how they got a fight offer. even the situations with mokaev and francis were mostly dana talking about how hunter and sean felt towards those guys
I don't believe that just because he said it under oath. He can't tell the truth to save his life and it's not like all of his buddies in the Trump administration would punish him if they found out he was lying

listen to fighter interviews, listen to danaâs interviews, listen to helwani, itâs clear dana doesnât do s*** anymore. i havenât heard a single fighter in the last like 5 years say dana offered them a fight or called them or negotiated a new contract with them or anything. mvp said he never even talked to dana before he signed to the ufc. pico was signed by hunter. gable was signed by hunter. i get youâre disconnected but itâs clear as day

He def a mascot now, he too much of a d*** eater to not toot his own horn on contract negotiations and he hasnât said a peep in years to imply heâs involved
The only thing Dana has done in recent years is the Contender series lol
Also, if youâre upset with the product, you might want to take a closer look at the fighters too. Itâs not all on the matchmakers.

I'm not saying that Dana is negotiating contracts or fights, but he pretty obviously still has final say on basically everything that happens in the organization. He uses the term "we" a lot in the post fight pressers when answering questions about future plans

It's definitely not 100% on the matchmakers. They can't control injuries or the lack of star power, I totally get that. I do wish they were more strict about title defenses and who gets shots though

I was thinking a couple weeks theyâve got to start requiring mandatory defenses within a certain time span & if youâre injured, either vacate or order a interim right away & keep these divisions moving.
So much of the roster is either aging, having personal issues, injured, observing Ramadan, ducking certain fights, in the dog house or something. Then the guys they want to force on us are either uninteresting or just a straight up fraud.
They just have no stars whatsoever. Itâs actually kinda crazy.

Making Gaethje vs Paddy for the interim lightweight title while Arman was sitting right there was so ridiculous

We really should be getting Arman x Topuria.
I honestly believe they thought Justin was washed enough for Paddy to beat him & then set up Paddy x Topuria.

I think you got it somewhat backwards
Itâs not Dana, at least Dana was apart of building the company and rolled the dice and took a lot of risks because he believed in it. Him and the Fertittaâs really loved this s*** at a point in time.
Hunter Campbell and whoever else is in charge was not apart of that grinding/building process. That dude is pretty much gonna operate the UFC how Nick Khan and them dudes are pillaging WWE for every dollar they can get.
That usually happens when the original people that were in charge either sell a company or they just step down. The new person doesnât have that personal connection to the company.
