Another decent event. Good fights featuring a nice mix of international fighters from Germany, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, South Korea, Brazil, Venezuela, etc. as MMA continues to grow and take over.
And MSG, Manchester, The Phillipines and Mexico coming up!
Not bad.
The card aired in the afternoon in the US. The main event was decent, the prelims action packed but suffered from no names.
UFC brought in $913,000 and you friking paid $2500 to some of the winners that flew all the way from USA ?? Are you kidding me.UFC paid the losers the same as the winners in most fights.
UFC is a disgrace for doing this to there fighters as well as Rebock The sponsors .I will never buy Rebock again.And UFC should apologize to the prelim fighters for the mistake and step up and pay them some real friking money.Jesus Christ that’s worse than a back room New Jersey mafia backed fight.Shame on UFC and Rebock.
Germany is the perfect place for fights on mainland Europe, if they can get more exposure there, it borders several European countries.
With Brexit happening in the UK and the potential of the £ dropping further compared to the € or $, I can see them running less shows in the UK (will be 3 this year)
