Q. Could a short term solution to the UFC's fight entertainment issue be to start shipping in the smaller Apex cage to the bigger events?
The only Apex Card this year had the most decisions this year as a % to total fights, but produced some of the most chaotic decision fights of the year, even making the female fights exciting
Michal vs MAB
Jean vs Farid
Daniil vs Morono
Javid vs Gianni
Cong vs Moura
Sygula vs Cachoeira
Jakub vs Muin (late sub)
Q. Is the bigger Cage a detriment to the UFC's entertainment value as fighters continue to improve as complete fighters, understanding range and footwork allowing them to avoid exchanges more and more
Moving full time to the smaller cage could be an easy fix to forcing exchanges
Some would argue this would favor wrestlers too much, but in the cards this year, even with the most decisions on the Apex Card ..
Apex card averaged 2.23 Takedowns a fight
Strickland card averaged 2.28 Takedowns a fight
UFC 324 Averaged 1.55 Takedowns a fight
UFC 325 Averaged 2.23 Takedowns a fight
Matchmaking carries the most weight in making fights entertaining, but it feels like the smaller cage can turn water into wine when it comes to chaos and exciting fights.
