As I said earlier this month - it has jumped the shark. A guy with White's arrogance doesn't get out unless he thinks it is on the way down.

Well sure, but he's not the owner anymore, which is the point.

ETA: I mean the Fertittas owned most of it, but White ran the show and still had a 9% stake.

Him not being a minority owner is the point?

What?

ETA: And I still don't understand how the UFC jumped the shark.

I made the comment when Lesnar was asked to return for UFC 200 and some of the sport's biggest stars are off their rocker. They're struggling for stars with staying power IMO. It is certainly plausible that I'm wrong, but I think it is on the back end of its popularity.

Jumped the shark may be a bit overboard, but I think it's fair to speculate on whether it's possible it has reached it's peak in interest and won't get much bigger than it is now.

They have plenty of stars. Injuries have been brutal this year tho. That's why Brock came back, plus Danas ego fricked up the main event for that card with Mcgregor, so they used Brock instead
