re: UFC 314: volk vs lopes

Yea he is actually really good for business. This is fight sport but there is a promotion aspect to it. He has the ability kinda naturally to be someone you want to see because he is crazy or you hate him.

The problem is you can’t headline him because you are right the top of the food chain guys are gonna drop him and do it quick.

I guess you could just let him be a fight night prelim guy that creates some fun shite vs tin cans, but then you never can maximize the revenue with him.

It’s not good for the UFC bottom line if the wrestlers from dag run things because they are all kinda toast and their fight style doesn’t appeal to the masses.

UFC is probably at its most popular when you have strikers that can produce highlights or someone that is going to get some nasty taps. I’d say they would be even better off having less rules but state athletic commissions would never allow that.
