So I was just watching The Score's "Drive This" talk show and they were talking about MMA and one guy brought up how with the UFC putting on shows every month that theres potential for the market to get over saturated and some casual fans getting disinterested. I personally don't its gonna happen and I think I know the overall consensus answer from this forum but the guy could have a point. I mean people could possible become disinterested in Anderson Silva, GSP, and BJ dominating everyone.
I think, as of right now, the dude's got it backwards. There are shows so often because the market for them is out there. If people weren't paying attention, buying tickets, and the media was ignoring it, I could understand it, but I don't see that. In fact I see the opposite trend.
Yet those guys watch hundreds of hockey, baseball, and football games a year. 15-18 shows a year for the UFC plus TUF is fine.
It could happen if MMA keeps up at it's current pace, but I believe it will be like Boxing, most of the bigger fights will happen 6-10 times a year and for junkies there's always tons of other cards to watch. For just UFC and free MMA watchers, there really isn't too much of it IMO.
