The UFC on Fox should not only popularize lesser-known fighters, but it should treat mainstream audiences to entertaining bouts.
It’s no secret that the UFC’s agenda for putting together fight cards on network television is to gain new fans. The best way to do that is to put together exciting, crowd-pleasing matches, while elevating the status of their lighter weight classes.
Dominick Cruz, Jose Aldo, Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson are some of the best fighters in the world, but because they’ve been in the UFC for only a year and a half, their popularity doesn’t reflect their skill set.
While putting together a perfect fight card and being realistic at the same time, this would be the ideal UFC on Fox.
