The UFC Is So Bad Right Now (Rant)
Ойындар
Ayy man listen.. today I give my honest opinions and rant about the current state of the UFC and especially about the matchmaking, promotion and cancellations for UFC 303 McGregor vs Chandler and Whittaker vs Khamzat Chimaev/Saudi card. I talk about how terrible UFC Fight Night Perez vs Taira was, the new gloves are terrible and how UFC's short notice ability to make great fights like Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka proves they could be doing so much better with their cards/matchmaking than they're doing currently. I also give praise to the upcoming ppv UFC 304 Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhmmad. Let me know YOUR thoughts on the current state of the UFC down below and make sure to drop a like, subscribe and follow me on ig/twitter @bedtimemma and thank you guys for 35k subscribers!

Thank you for making this. The card on the weekend was a disgusting excuse for a UFC event. Absolutely horrendous completely disgraceful unbelievably terrible
Ufc probably just trying to do the bare minimum that they have to do until their contract with ESPN expires this year. Hopefully they create their own website, and push the fighters more.
My first UFC PPV (and card) was McGregor vs Poirier 3, I didn’t realize that was the last time McGregor would fight. Also only seen Jon Jones fight one time.
How can you not appreciate that taira caused the injury using a unique strategy. That shit was awesome
On the other hand, bedtime is pretty good rn

this is like the 3rd or 4th consecutive video posted around my lunch break bedtime got me
face to face interviews is a ripper idea, would be good to see more of the fighters and their interactions
I fell asleep like 2 times during this fight night ahahah The main reasons card seem trash is: -stars aren't as active -they try to stack some cards so much that they leave nothing to the average fight night -they can schedule 25 Apex cards a year so they can simply put on cards that wouldn't sell because they lose no money with promotiong and organisation -they pick and choose which cards will have stars/borderline fan favourites based on who pays the most (look at Saudi, Abu Dhabi, Perth and Singapore cards compared to your average fight night or even less stacked ppv)

We're at the part where the ufc is breaking its own beak right now. By the time 304 comes around, it will be reborn
I've been feeling the same thing these past couple of months. I ended up either going to bed part way through or just skipping out on the past three events entirely. There was another one earlier on in 2024 that I just dipped on too cus it was so boring but can't remember which one. The point is, I haven't missed an event in years. I always watch the cards front to back. But there have just been so many terrible cards this year filled with WMMA and contender series tier main cards that it just doesn't feel like I'm missing anything when I get bored and just tune out now. I think something has happened with the matchmakers. Maybe that random guy they hired has been given way too much free reign but idk something has changed.
On top of all your valid statements. What is driving me NUTS is how Slow & far apart the UFC is. There's Zero Momentum! It's all cause they only have a handful of dates for "Big event PPVs" Even if they have in shape, motivated athletes who want to be active, they aren't utilizing the potential that is right in front of them.
We need tournaments for unranked fighters... We need a point system! We need to know what we're watching.
Ive been getting super lucky recently ive only been watching every other ufc event for the past month or two and i seem to always watch the good ones and miss the bad ones
I straight up started doing chores on Saturday
I honestly like the weekly events even though they're not good
It’s because Endeavor is a publicly owned company, so they’re legally obligated to earn shareholders while spending as little as possible for higher margins. It’s no longer Dana’s baby. That’s why PowerSlap and DWCS are when he’s most passionate.

The UFC now compared to 7-10 years ago is a hugeee difference. I used to stay up till 5 am for fights and now i don't care enough and just wake up to the results
Honestly most ufc lately has been so hard to watch. I fall asleep or just get tired of decisions for every fight. You’re right you get a good one spread out in between so many boring fights. Alex stepping in for Connor idk how I feel about it. Like we just saw him twice in the last few months it seems. Maybe better gloves and something to fix the grappling that goes nowhere for 5 minutes. If there is a way to fix those and also make better matching it would be great to watch. 😢
we have entered the dark ages after 300 and we won’t get to the renaissance till bedtime kos jones with a turner green type stoppage
Why diaz and tony arent fighting eachother is beyond. Absolutely ridiculous matchmaking
I’m sure you’re aware but regarding the no-name signings and lackluster cards, the UFC is under contract with ESPN to put on 40+ card/year. That deal doesn’t specify the caliber of the cards. So I’m guessing they put all the nonsense on the fight nights to meet the quota and save ranked names for the PPV to make extra bucks on name recognition there. There’s more I could go into but I won’t. Not saying that the matchmaking couldn’t be improved, though.
the UFC is not doing Face to face sitdowns because Dominic Cruz was cooking everybody lmao
I had stopped following the UFC somewhere in 2021. Prior to that I was watching every fight night, every ppv, was following media interviews, etc. I started following it again 2-3 months ago. Inbetween I would look at the results here and there, I'd look if there had been any interesting KOs and similar stuff but I didn't watch the events. And I just feel like it was better before. Idk why, it just feels like that. There are some fighters rn that seem to be borderline carrying the organization for example Alex Pereira. But the biggest difference is the lack of title defenses and the amount of lowkey bad cards that I've been seeing. This one for example, UFC 302 was terrible other than the main event pretty much, UFC 301 was bad, etc. And for the champions, I don't understand why everyone just wants to fight for the second belt. What happened to title defending or becoming the best in your division? Why do fighters think that winning one more fight at a higher division no matter who your opponent is means that you're suddenly the best fighter ever? I miss the time when champions showed their dominance through defending their belt by beating top contenders and proving that their champion status isn't a fluke.
always sucks when the card is a bit mid and you sit there like : \ afterwards, but mad agree that they can be so shit sometimes but crazy good at times too

Michael Bisping definitely should’ve been on the Gaslighting tier list video trying to convince us that fight night cards are actually good
the combination of the matchmaking being all over the place and dead apex crowds is painful, everytime they’ve done a fight night outside the apex its been significantly better. also face to face interviews is a no brainer, kinda baffling that they don’t do them. i watch the ones they do for boxing even when i don’t care about the fight. i feel like they’re just getting lazy.
