![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RRnATvZ.jpg) LOL, the place is gonna be empty. This "dynamic pricing" is hilarious. You can sit 19 rows from the ring .. facing the center of the ring, dead-on for $150 USD. You can sit 5 rows from ringside for $300 USD. if you wait it out you can probably watch UFC 206 for $20 USD. If TFC beats Seattle to win the MSL Cup at 10pm no one is going to give a flying fuck about this crap Dana is trying to peddle. | ||

That being said the UFC has done a great job filling out the card, so your whole wanting it to be a fight nigth narrative was clearly wrong. Now you moving to the they can't sell tickets story which is some what true but compared to other ppv's the card is decent. Just they have to fill a stadium with over double the seats then the shows in Vegas. This increased supply ALONE is going decrease the ticket prices. Sure GSP would change that, he knew that and priced him self at whatever he thought that value was, the UFC thought he was worth whatever they offered it didn't happen. If I lived in T.O. I would be ecstatic to see this card, at lower prices all the better. You want to see a bad card check out the UFC in Calgary. And look at the original Card and what we got. I'm not sure what point you are going for with these posts if you are trying to make the UFC look bad because they have not sold out or what but I think everyone who has any knowledge about the sport or the fight game in general knows that star power sells tickets not a quality fight card. And with McGoat and Rousey being BY FAR the biggest stars active in the UFC any card without them is going to draw less in comparison. i like to "pay attention to outcomes". its a good fight night card... pretty much like i said it would be.... this is not a PPV card and the PPV buys will tell that tale shortly. there is no full title on the line. no big canadians on the card. the interim featherweight championship is faker than ted dibiase's million dollar belt. Helwani speaks the consensus with regards to how fake this belt is. if Ronda gets starched their #2 draw is gone meanwhile their #1 star is trying to obtain protection from the Ali act by calling himself a boxer. new UFC management is failing and the Fertittas got out at just the right time. | ||

Pena on January 28 in Denver http://www.denverpost.com/2016/12/06/julianna-pena-valentina-shevchenko-ufc-denver/ i'm glad Zingano v. Shevchenko didn't happen. UFC prolly had to threaten to do fight to get Pena to agree to fight Shevchenko. | ||

so we have a "top contender" for the coveted Interim Featherweight title who can't make 145 and has made 146 for 1 hour in the last 12 years. Awesome match making guys! it gets harder and harder to cut weight as you age... how will this guy make 145 again if he wins the Interim title? | ||

so if Pettis wins does he fight Aldo? According to Dana "If Pettis wins, I've got to decide if I want him to fight for the 145-pound (title)," White said. "I don't know if he can make the weight." We have a fight for an interim belt that only 1 guy can win. and if Holloway loses his 9 fight winning strike goes out the window to a guy "too old and too heavy" to make 45. convoluted and silly like a WWF rule set. maybe they can stick a ladder in the middle of the ring and hang the interim title from the scoreboard. Only Holloway is allowed to use the ladder.  it might not be good competitive fighting buts its some novel comedy. | ||
