dana white not surprised by bellators numbers

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/11/19/7246201/ufc-dana-white-not-surprised-by-bellator-131-ratings-tito-ortiz-stephan-bonnar-mma-news

First when asked Dana said he hadn't heard the numbers but wouldn't be surprised if it pulled numbers because it was a free fight on free TV....

Yeah so why can't ufc even on fox not fs1 or fs2 pull numbers like this when they supposedly have the best fighters in the world??

He then said Tito and bonnar are big names.......no Tito is.

I remember ufc doing Tito vs Forrest Griffin and they didn't pull no 2 million viewer LOL and event wasn't even headlined by them.

Dana Cant think of lies fast enough

Because Bellator puts out one really good card every now and then.

The UFC's product is super saturated. There is never a top quality card stacked with talent; it's usually no name bums, Ultimate Fighter washouts, & cans, with one decent fight as the main event.

^Yeah, Zuffa has watered down their product bad

If Dana is not so surprised then why isn't the UFC following this formula instead of doing 45 shows a year? I agree, if it's because of free TV then why can't UFC pull this stuff?

It really is amazing how successful you can be when you make cards that fans give a rat's ass about.

Bellator exudes way more personality than the YouEffSee at the moment, that's what I chalk it up to.

YouEffSee is busy running around the world getting cookie cutter create-a-fighter nobodies from all nations. They can't understand how to build up fighters now that TUF is clearly pointless. I mean it's 2014 and their last event still relied on the old guard from PRIDE.

Since they've monopolized the sport, they have to put on this many shows; their roster is just incredibly bloated. Killing their competition is now killing them.
