I’ve written a few articles on the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s increasingly weak cards. It’s a relevant macro trend for the sport’s biggest promotion and far more important than any one fighter. Judging by the comments, most readers agree and lament how 40-plus UFC events a year make for thin cards that pale in comparison to those that once were. Occasionally, there are fans who get angry, call me a “hater,” or otherwise feel duty-bound to defend the increasingly poor product they’re expected to consume.
