Talk n Shoot Podcast 63 with Miguel Iturrate

UFC vs Bellator on TalknShoot #63 – The world of MMA goes beyond McGregor and here at the TalknShoot Podcast #63 we look at the current state of MMA. The UFC is clearly the dominant promotion world-wide and the feeling is that Bellator, the U.S.A.’s second company is there just to make the UFC’s life miserable.

The last few years have seen a steady flow of veteran fighters migrate from the UFC roster over to Bellator. The UFC has appeared to look down their nose at the migration, but it might be time that they start paying more attention to what Bellator is doing. The UFC 225 pay-per-view event is reported to have done about 250,000 views, which is low for a stacked UFC card. That is low and some of that may be that Bellator in general operates outside of PPV and as of late, they are able to offer recognizable names at the top of the card. Boxing has seen the pay-per-view model take major hits in recent years, it isn’t surprising that the UFC’s formula takes a hit as well.
