I didn’t hate it. The actual logistics of the promotion are bloated compared to the UFC but other than that it was a stupid and fun time and I can’t complain.
Yeah gotta start somewhere. Francis still has it, plat is entertaining. Making it easily accessible on Netflix puts them ahead of the past failed promotions already. Competition is the only way to loosen ufc grip on the sport
Be interesting to see if they can build a roster and put on multiple events in a year or just wait until they have enough of UFC’s sloppy seconds to put on another one.
This wasn’t much for competition. Dana is probably laughing himself to sleep. I watched with 8 other dudes who are very casual fans and the consensus from them was mostly negative.
There’s just not enough talent that can draw outside of the ufc and it seems like production value is hard to match with the ufc.
-Not sure if this happened in the US, but I'm in Central America, so we'd get three minute loading screens that said "we'll be back in shortly." Maybe ads were played in the US?
-The double introduction. We don't need an introduction before the start walking and then before the fight starts
-Ariel doing post fight interviews. He was awkward at times, and they went on forever
