UFC

Dana White as president of the UFC has been having problems as of late. Since this is real fighting, as opposed to WWE staged fighting, he can't keep his undefeated fighters undefeated. He can only hope they stay undefeated and get more popular.

When Holly Holm took out Ronda Rousey three months back, he lost the biggest name star he's had in a while. Now Holly Holm got beat by Meisha Tate last night. The rematch between Rousey and Holm just lost much of its luster.

Worse? Undefeated Conor McGregor, the next big thing in UFC, also got submitted last night by journeyman Nate Diaz, a guy who took the fight just a week and a half ago when McGregor's REAL opponent got hurt while training.

Three big deals are now also-rans. Whoever paid for last night's UFC event got their money's worth. But now it's difficult to have another major card in the near future. You need great fighters to get people interested. All of this losing is bad for business.

You can see why WWE books who wins and who loses. They can build events for the future that way. The UFC is going to struggle with that for awhile.
