The UFC is entering dangerous waters.
It's been typical for its top stars in the past to fight once every two to three months.
The average UFC card features 10-12 bouts, and on average one title defense. This frankly can't happen anymore, as champions fight once every four-to-six months now.
Your stars must be seen more then this. The obvious solution is to trim and maintain an active roster of 120 fighters at the most, and to hold, at minimum, 20 fights a month.
This is essential to keep the UFC's cards from becoming too watered down with weak under cards, and questionable early event fights.
In summation, The Ultimate Fighter is now hurting the UFC more then it's solid ratings and advertising will help it. To continue to hand out long term contracts to fringe fighters would be to condemn the divisions to constant weakening.
I plead for the lunacy to end.
