re: the "fewer cards" thing, I don't think it'll be much fewer. They'll probably go away from having Thursday/Friday/Saturday cards, or 2 cards in one night where there's an international one during the day and something in Vegas at night, but we'll probably still have an average of 3.5 events per month. They still need to have volume to sell for the next TV deal.

1st AD posted:

I think the cards will be a lot shorter and more stacked on star power. Also probably they'll have fewer PPV's but more TV cards.

I think the number of fights per event will be the same, we'll still have 12-13 fights targetted (dropping to 10 or 11 with injuries), but they'll rely more often on local talent in the prelim and fightpass prelim who they will cut right after the show if they lose or were boring.

Agree on fewer PPV and more TV, if the UFC gets to a point where there is a bidding war between FOX, ABC/ESPN, CBS, and NBC for only two packages, then the networks will make it worth their while to have PPV's maybe only every other month, and more championship fights on TV.

Joanna Champion will fight Andrade at UFC 211

Joanna should be favored, but Andrade is definitely capable of beating her. I'd say Joanna should be like a -180 favorite.
