UFC Slashes Ticket Prices, Reduces ‘Noche’ Gate Estimates after Struggling to Sell Swanky ‘Sphere’ Seats

Needs Craig Jones vs Gabo Garci in an MMA match.

Are there even any mexicans fighting on thus celebration of mexico, that happens to be countering the biggest boxing draw in mexican history.

This was a major fumble by Dana.

“Hey guys! We’re gonna celebrate mexicans with a huge UFC event! It’s not going to be in Mexico though, it’s in Vegas, and it’s going to have minimal mexican fighters and it’s priced so extravagant that mexicans can’t afford to go!”

Same thing happened to me, with the cage posts, the cameraman and elevated platform, the view wasn’t the best. Unless you are literally cage side, I think being a couple rows up, where you have some elevation is the best view. I prefer to just watch at home with friends now.

I still don’t even know what any of that shit means, or even “Noche UFC”. It’s just UFC 306.

Also what is the sphere “screen”? You’re gonna pay 5k to go to a giant venue and watch fights on a TV?

Or you can pay $20 and watch it at the movie theater in a recliner.

The whole thing is starting smell like a scam. The greatest thing anyone will ever see is how it is being touted. There everyone is trying to think how in the world can they utilize this sphere to show fights. Will they show the fights on the sphere as they are taking place - ridiculous if you think about that. How exactly are they going to combine live fights in a cage and a massive all encompassing tv screen. Well it’s slowly starting to turn out that it is the shit in between the fights that will be displayed in the sphere.

Everything except the actual fighting.

Nothing more than bullshit intermission shows, probably stuffed with ads and promotional material for Saudi Arabia, slap fighting and Howler Head.

Nothing to do with fighting.

FAIL.

Lets start by making something clear - I’m retarded

Now, in what is supposed to be an event celebrating Mexican fighters and culture or whatever the fuck else, why is Riyadh Season anywhere near this thing (I know its for money)? But if they want this to be a, “Love letter to Mexican fighters” why not do everything that way.

“Modelo Presents…”
or
VisitMexico.com presents…”

Instead of in a Sphere do it big, put more than 2 Mexicans on the card or whatever. Fill the card with Mexicans. I dont know.

Dana is a fuckin dork and sucks at marggeding.

Noche should have been an ESPN Fight Night like last year.

Alexa Grasso
Brandon Moreno
Yair Rodríguez
Brian Ortega vs. Diego Lopes

That would have been good.

The Sphere needed to be a way bigger card to live up to the hype.

I don’t think the UFC has any stars to make big cards anymore.

Riyadh Season is one of the world’s largest winter entertainment event . Variety of food from around the world, courtesy of exclusive restaurants

I’m confused

It’s a single event but is referred to as a “season”? The concept is already collapsing in on itself.

Not solo stars. They have to stack them. They did that well with 299 and 300 early this year.

Wut. 300 was universally panned for not living up to it’s predecessors.

I will still love u tomorrow
