Should UFC create another sister promotion?

[Sms_productions713]

UFC is at a crossroads where it wants to be like a league, but still uses the stars drawing power for the brand.

We’re in a new era where you can’t get that real seasoned veteran experience to be able to sell yourself. It was first the uniforms, but now these new guys have no real way of getting that experience because most of the smaller promotions are only on Fight Pass, and that is not real competition in any area

We understand that pride couldn’t have gone on, but strike force still should have. Or just buy bellator, and use some of these names on losses, as an alternative to keep buzz around their name, while in the process grow more talent. Bellator just used the talent in a sloppy manner with the horrible hw GP, or not taking advantage of their name value.

WEC was the best example. It was able to take those talented guys that fought in ufc early on, and still was able to build their name on a big platform after leaving to make it have that veteran feel, and also helped create new stars like cerrone and bendo. So when they come back to ufc, it those new stars get signed, their is hype like you saw with gathjie or mvp.

It creates competition! Which is much needed, and it doesn’t overstate the market

I'd be down with a spinoff promotion for WMMA and midgets

Part of me thinks so but it would probably be unpopular in the beginning with some not wanting the WEC replaced and others seeing it as bottom feeder, especially with the talk of cards being watered down already. Doesn't seem like a good idea IMO.

That’s okay to see it as that. That way when they come over and do good, makes it seem like there is competition.

Sure it will be that way at first, but eventually it will look like it did with WEC and strike force, and they got more stars made

 

[Thesnake101]

Yes, they should create UFC 2.

 

[GrantB13]

Yes. WMMA and then everyone else.

Strikeforce wasn't a sister promotion IMO. Nor was it owned by Zuffa until they were bought.

Nearly every line in the OP is questionable.

They had some shows under Zuffa though. Their last big show was. They would have kept pride alive if they could

 

[Sms_productions713]

Yes, they should create UFC 2.

Technically, that’s what WEC was when they put it on prime time. It had the same feel, and fans got behind it

A sister promotion for wmma would make sense.

Outside of that, I really can't make heads or tails out of what TS is trying to say.

 

[Thesnake101]

We call it brother* organization. What is this gynocentric shit where we refer to ships and boats and even proxy corporations as female? Literally eff that shit. I ain't no simp. You say BROTHER PROMOTION, not sister. If anyone has a problem with the sexual dimorphic nature of our species, take it up with God.

sister promotion lmfao i can't even with people sometimes

Stop being gay.

 

[Siver!]

Or just buy bellator

I think you may have missed one of the biggest stories of the last 6 months...

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

No

To answer the question... no.

The calls for a WMMA sister promotion (sorry @Shenti you can just picture penises if vaginas offend you) aren't really required since promotions like Invicta do quite a bit of the heavy lifting in the US in that regards.

Other promotions, well, not really required since there are so many 'feeder' type leagues already being broadcast on Fight Pass. Subscribers literally pay the UFC to watch other promotions, then if someone happens to look super exciting, the UFC will likely use those metrics to decide if they're worthy of a roster spot or DWCS or whatever.

So, no, not really.

But what might be fun is a 'Fight Pass Invitational' for MMA fighters and not just BJJ fighters - but again, that's kinda what DWCS is, it's just not as flashy or as well-promoted as a 'super card' of Fight Pass promotions might be.

But I’m talking about real distribution, and not just fight pass with that regional look and feel. That’s what these ones on fight pass is for.

Really, that’s what WEC was when Zuffa bought it, and look what it came to in just a couple years time? They weren’t in competition since they owned it, and it was a different option for fans.

The days of rival promotions is dead and gone, so why not compete with your own company?


Also, no one is saying anything about WMMA

Should have* the distribution alone would have been worth it

Is only Shenti allowed to picture penises instead or are you offering this to all of us?

I suppose anybody offended by the image or mention of a female/sister/woman can picture penises if they like!
