Proof the UFC, Sherdog & Zuffa Zombiedom is dyin'... Sherdog down visits 50%

From how I'm reading this... looks like Sherdog traffic alone in down about 50%. Let the Slate/Wall Street Journal guy give you the UFC numers below...

"The facts, though, read like this. UFC’s Fox debut last November averaged an impressive 5.7 million viewers. Its last two offerings, by contrast, both drew an average viewership of about 2.4 million. The current season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show has averaged 835,000 viewers for FX on Friday nights, a huge decline from past seasons. And sales of the UFC’s pay-per-view cards are all but guaranteed to decline for a second straight year, from an estimated 9.27 million PPV buys of 16 events in 2010, to 6.49 million buys of 16 events in 2011, to 5.28 million buys of 12 events in 2012 with one card yet to air."

die zuffa websites hahaha, good I hate these guys and ufc ppvs are a waste of money, 65 dollars to watch it in hd? LMFAO fuck that shit. Another fact is that zombies cant stand is the fact mma was a "fad" in america, I can honestly say I no longer know anyone here that still watches mma that didnt watch it prior to the 07 zuffa nazi takeover. In other words alot of the fad guys are already out of mma yet the old real fan crowd still remains atleast in my area anyway, inwhich case they all are waiting for zuffa to fail anyway.

The beautifully cropped PRIDE belt in your sig is awseome!

I really believe the drop is due to Lesnar leaving the sport for sure!

sherdog .net probably fucking banned 50,000 people for speaking their mind or god forbid post a photo of a womans cleavage

sherdog.net is NAZI GERMANY + China + North Korea all into one

PPV buys are down
Free shows views are down
TUF is basically dead (one last gimmick to save it)

UFC had a terrible 2012.

Free show views shot up for the last show. Otherwise correct.

good times up ahead. Many other MMA promotions is gaining in strength and more people are realising that there are top talents and top shows for a better price or for free around the globe.
