    With Zuffa buying up all the competition, and with a seemingly endless supply of fighters available, do you think a live weekly UFC card could be successful?

    Much like Friday Night Fights on ESPN2, or the old Tuesday Night Fights on USA, or even WWE's Monday Night Raw, I think a live show once a week could be a great way to build up new talent, promote PPV's, and expand the UFC empire.

    In fact, I think it's the logical next step.

    I'm sure Spike would jump at the chance to air a live weekly show, and I'm sure ratings for live fights would be better then the taped replays they currently show. And if not Spike, I'm sure they'd find someone willing to air their fights.

    I don't think there's enough UFC fighters under contract to pull that off.If they have other promotions chipping in it could happen but obviously it will never happen.There better off the way they are for now.

    Oh yes they do all they have to do is open up the gates alot of MMA fighters are BEGGING to fight in the UFC. They already have many fighters under contract that we haven't even seen yet and I also didn't say it would happen next week I just stated it's not far off from happening so in about two years don't be shocked to see it happen.
