Does it seem that the quality of UFC is declining and the Bellator cards are getting better?

If Bellator wasn't run like a discount burger joint, they might have a shot to bridge the gap. Plus the fact they invest shit all in media and promotion.

Bellator invest most of their money in their fighters,the way it should be...

Bellator doesn't need to waste a ton on advertisement,they're on a free tv channel with 99% of their shows non-PPV.

I like Bellator and the way they handle business better than the UFC. I really miss their mid-week Wednesday night cards...

Bellator is a little better....but I'm still bored to death by 99% of the fights. Ufc still has WAY MORE talent. And for the life of me I can't figure out why so many people want things to change. I want the uFC to hoard ALL the talent. The more great fighters the more competition and greater the fights and the more combinations of great fights. If you end up with guys leaving for Bellator than the UFC is even more watered down. I'll take one great organization over a couple opretty good ones.I don't think the cards have gotten worse at all. Maybe because there are more of them they are slightly watered down. Honestly Conor is the one who has kinda ruined the UFC.Well....not ruined but is negatively affecting it. Now everyone wants money fights and they are more willing to look at the entertainent factor as opposed to who deserves fights. There is noneed for that......give the most deserving guy a shot and the rest will take care of itself. Now the UFC seems much more interested in how can we make money. And I understand that.....but if it gets worse it could turn into the WWE or boxing

WME has to make there 4 billion plus to break even , so can you really blame them for wanted to setting up some fighter to make money. To me Conor mcgregor has done nothing but help build the UFC brand and has put on some of the most interesting and exciting fights. Interesting from the different styles and philosophies he brings to the ring, just i was watching Darren Till and thinking , look at him putting equal amounts of weight on both feet just like Conor Mcgregor just like bruce lee. The most talented fighter in the UFC Jon Jones will never fight in the UFC again, wit that loss I'm even more happy that Conor mcgregor will will be fighting MMA again. I have been 100% happy with the match-ups the UFC makes, but i think the product is worth what they charge with boxing still so fixed its sad.
