What fresh ideas could the UFC take from professional wrestling?

not sure about UFC but just taking this fight the other night, if McGregor wins then suddenly he's the biggest name and you can get a few superfights out of him going forward. As it stands i don't know where the next huge arse boxing fight is going to happen. Might be awhile.

Tag team MMA already exists in Russia. It's a shitshow.

those guys may be the best fighters right now but thats not what makes the most money. It's not going to come close to touching the number this fight just did.

You would be hard pressed to find a form of mixed martial arts that doesn't already exist

Better entrances. I was waiting for that mask to be pulled off Mayweather only to see it was someone else completely. Then Floyd would hit McGregor in the back with a chair.

I feel like the ufc is doing pretty well.

some of the things I think they have done wrong:

let alot of young talent leave for bellator.

need to open up a few more divisions so that if you get a guy like rory that cant beat the top guys he can move to another division.

base salary for the fighters then paid per fight. I feel like it is really hard on young fighters that get into the ufc to make it. especially if you get an injury or something. I feel like if you have at least 1 or 2 fights year and dont pull out of a fight then you should get a salary.


continue with the superfights but only let the spectacle type fights happen every once in a while. you dont want to be like bellator and have nothing but gimmick fights.

I dont mind the look of the reebok brand but the fighters miss out on sponsorship money so maybe a base salary would help make up for that.

I remember when I said at the very beginning McGregor would only have a punchers chance in the very first few rounds before Floyd would light him up. Then, I said it was more enjoyable for me to talk shite and enjoy the spectacle and that's what I did. Look it up. It's all in my post history.

Cut promos, better entrances, spikes at top of octagon, have octagon close in 3 feet each round. Would be infinitely more fun.

Honestly, building personalities and showmanship would be a great thing to take away from it.

The fight showed how many people can get emotionally invested in two larger-than-life personalities. Good guy vs bad guy has been selling tickets since the beginning of time.

Ok.

3rd KO for Mcgregor. Mayweather will not be able to analyze the movement and angles of an MMA fighter and will get caught by a left that stuns him. Mcgregor will then finish him off with a slurry of punches.

Connor is gonna frick him up. Not a doubt in my mind....

How sad will it be when mcgregor knocks his broke arse out!!!...

mcgregor is about to frick this fool up worse than he did his daddy in the later press conference. Had the reporters in the room laughing at floyd sr like he was a circus clown....


quote:

When he knocks floyd out he will rule the combat game.

When mcgregor sleeps this fool and ends the sport of boxing he will go down as the greatest combat sports hero of all time. Not to mention the greatest mouthpiece in sports....

Last quote from Thread about date being set.

Still haven't found you claiming he only had a punchers chance.

Maybe I just missed it.
