There’s a price to be paid for running two PPV’s so close together. First, it’s going to be difficult to to maintain high levels of quality in such a short period. In other words, given UFC 285 was a high-quality card on the whole, it shouldn’t be a surprise UFC 286 is suffering a notable fall off.
Part of that can be attributed to the card taking place in the UK. Not that there is anything wrong with the UK, but given the majority of the UFC’s roster is in North America, it can be difficult to convince them to fly over the Atlantic.
