They are already pretty close to the 2-3 cards a month recently.

With the resources Zuffa has now I think they'll put on a decent event every weekend this fall between the UFC and SF just to capitalize on a possible lockout from the NFL.

Camozzi lost his last 2 fights...Noke and Dong Yi Yang....although he got the split decision against Yang, it was obvious to everyone ringside and Joe and Goldie and reports all saw it for Yang.

Camozzi needs more work and wasn't being aggressive enough. He might be back.

I still haven't seen Palhares vs Branch....not sure the UFC released that fight. They seem to be hiding Palhares

Brown retired after the first round of his fight and it makes him his second in a row. Brown looked like crap...and he is a baby at 205 with a belly....185 would be a better size for him...but that would mean he would have to get fit.

Keep the top fighters for the PPVs and the bottom tier guys on Free TV, like their doing. But add a few more free cards per year. Not only does that take away some of the stress of releasing smaller fighters because of the WEC merger, but less cuts overall through out all the weight classes.

Makes sense to me, but Im sure its easier said then done.

Does anybody else think that the UFC has gotten to the point where instead of having TUF, they could have a weekly live show? Sort of like a mix between Bellator and Challengers.

That would be awesome....but they don't have the TV deal. I don't think any TV network is willing to give the UFC the money they want....and I don't think the UFC is willing to let any network get rights to any of their highlights. I think those are the main problems.

I don't think network TV is the way of the future.

I predict fights over the internet before that. Then the UFC gets to keep their product theirs...and the can charge whatever they want and run everything the way they want it...

Or the UFC is waiting to make their own network over the next 5 years like Dana hinted at on Inside MMA while speaking with Straka.
