My eyes were right on it and I missed what happened - the punches were perfectly obscured by the camera angle

I'm still laughing at how terrible that fight was. He just gassed out in like a minute, collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, curled into a ball and gave up. hilarious

yeah, I personally thought Marina would get taken down early but do better after, but boy, she looks awful and Virna looks sharper than she has before.

A thing I wonder: If they're starting cross-promotion with the WWE by having WWE people show up in UFC bumpers, are we heading towards one of the two companies moving their big shows? Because right now you've got a WWE paid show and a UFC pay-per-view happening simultaneously and I imagine they would like to eventually stop competing with themselves.

Whenever I see UFC brass (mostly Dana) being asked about this they seem pretty adamant that there's very little overlap between the fanbases

I don't think so. I don't think it really matters at all to them.

UFC gets paid whatever rate from ESPN regardless of how many ppvs buys they get (It's one reason they want to negotiate the contract when it comes up).
I'm not 100% sure but I think WWE has the same with NBC/Peacock (Plus, peacock is a full sub service. You aren't really paying for just that ppv)

I also would bet Endeavor would look at the numbers on how many fans are paying fans of both to see if it's worth it. I want to say Dave has mentioned it that there is very little cross over with MMA and wrestling fans these days

yeah, but they're openly full of poo poo and he knows it because he, himself, was trying to siphon off AEW's fanbase for power slap all of a couple months ago, and I have to imagine the new corporate overlords feel similarly

I'll always show up to watch Khaos fight because its always fun, but man I wish he'd clean up his technique because he's game as hell and a great athlete.

To me it seems kind of hard to cross promote its like "HEY LIKE REAL FIGHTING? COME WATCH PEOPLE PRETEND!" But I wouldn't care if they were going "oh cage side we have Kurt Angle (is he still a thing?)".
