UFC 142 225,000 via Dave Meltzer

Looks like another low number for them. Seems like they have been down more and more since 2010. Only 225,000 PPV buys. Though the card didn't have anything interesting on it, I didn't even watch it for free.

Not surprised: a fight headlined by two featherweights isn't going to do much. However, if there was a UFC card I would have, in hindsight, purchased, it probably would have been this one.

The decline of the Zuffman empire.

The MMA masses have been giving them way too much credit for their supposed business genius.

The UFC ship was never steered from the helm to TUF (which stolen from the guy who was smarter than them & pitched it to them), SPIKE or Brock Lesnar. All of that fell in Dana & Lorenzo's lap.

JActually, the UFC itself fell into Zuffa's lap when Lorenzo, the president of the Nevada Athletic Commission, made the UFC almost worthless by at the last minute changing his vote which denied the UFC from being licensed in Nevada. Why the f***K would he do that when he's admitted on record many times that he loved the sport much previous to that???

It's not hard to see that Lorenzo screwed SEG/UFC owner Bob Meyrowitz by blocking it's licensing in Nevada and then coincidently making an offer to buy a company he virtually put out of business. The UFC would have begun to make money once it was able to put on shows in Vegas. The UFC's Nevada licensing was the final step to make all of SEG's hard work and investment in the company finally start to pay off. People just gotta ask Meyrowitz about what he can prove happened.

Corrupt shark-like mobster-types? Yes ... business geniuses my ASS!!!

225K PPV's. Ha!

serves them fucking right, those low life scums. Hopefully other more worthy promotions will take its place. Im hoping for Bellator and M1 and Pride and OneFC to take charge.

The sports media are now turning their heads towards Zuffa's wrongs; the mainsteam exposure the UFC is receiving on FOX is shining the spotlight on the company and its reprehensible tactics. Soon, our opinions concerning the evil Zuffa empire will be thrust forward into the limelight as well. No longer will these views - the views of this forum and countless hardcore MMA fans around the world - be marginalized and vilified by the zombies that walk among us. Our opinions soon will be sanctioned and deemed worthy of attention, and, eventually, approval.

The end is near...

Sounds like low numbers
