The direction of MMA

[Luke]

Its not that I wouldn't like to watch something like TUF, its that its too scripted. I can't stand scripted reality shows. Also, I could careless about what happens in the house and their lives, I'd just want to see the training and fights.

I had seen a couple of the early UFCs on VHS back in the 1990s and was aware of the Gracies and the UFC ever since then, but I used to travel a lot and not watch much tv so I didn't really give it much thought again until 2005 with the first season of TUF. Ever since then I started watching every UFC card, Strikeforce card, the old WEC, Elite XC and all the other promotions that were on tv.

And you don't think charging the same amount for watered-down PPV's as they use to charge for stacked cards is an issue?

They even upped the price for anderson silva vs weidman.

I agree that the price they charge for PPVs is rather expensive even for the stacked cards.

Interesting, that's almost exactly my pattern (except for the fact that I rarely watched WEC once it was only little guys).

My point was they are still charging the same price (sometimes more) for cards that are far worse than cards from just a few years ago.
