They grew too quickly and didn't have the stars or talent to accommodate with the growth.

That's it basically. GSP retiring threw them off, plus Silva getting :flabbynsick: and Jones isn't going to get that mass appeal :mjpls:.

I think Pettis is next up, but breh can't stay healthy.... or they could break bread and bring back Brock :skip:

I agree with you, the UFC hasn't taken the time to build new stars either. They used to do it through the Ultimate Fighter and by showcasing new talent on the undercard of a stacked card or free card. I really enjoyed the UFC unleashed show and something like that before or after a free card would go a long way to introducing new talent IMO.

He will be hired again trust me. This is just PR relations BS.

You might be right:
Despite failing two random drug screenings administered by the Nevada Athletic Commission ahead of a Jul. 5 bout with Vitor Belfort, White believes Sonnen's possible redemption very much depends on how well explains the misstep to the public.

"I care about the guy very much and hopefully ... You know, it all depends on how he handles it," said White. "America is a very forgiving place for guys who do the right thing. You see what happens with the guys who dig their heels in and try to battle it. It doesn't work that well for them."

And weren't you same the dude that recently said Rumble (who's now top 5) was trash and wouldn't cut in the UFC? :dead:
