These Europe events lately are kinda flat are they not? USA clearly is #1 when it comes to UFC cards, followed by Brazil & Canada in 2nd and 3rd and even the upcoming Asian fight night cards seem more appealing to me, so give Asia 4th. Australia/New Zealand events seem to be comparable to the Europe events, but when you compare population of those areas it shouldnt be that close.
Why dont they stack more cards in Europe? The market is forsure there, maybe MMA just isnt as big there yet but if you had a star headlining a card (maybe an Irish one wink wink) you could sell 20,000 plus seats anywhere in the continent.
Im not trying to bash UFC Europe over this, but just I think they deserve some better cards. The upcoming Fight Nights in Sweden and Scotland are pretty below average...Gus/Glover is a good headliner but after that it falls off...and Scotlands card seems mediocre from top to bottom to me, not much of an incline from Felder/Ray up to Nelson/Pinzinibbo (not sure how to spell that last name, too lazy to google).
Instead of giving them a few Fight Nights here and there I think UFC should give them a stacked card, not just full of European fighters but American big name fighters with the draw to create a buzz for the event...kinda like what we just seen in Dallas for a summer kick off, but in Dublin or London.
