Sunday Junkie Post - MORE FIGHTS FOR UFC FIGHTERS

MORE FIGHTS FOR UFC FIGHTERS

The UFC is simply not giving its fighters enough fights in a year. Out of the 10 fighters that are fighting on the main card of UFC 83, not one has fought in 2008. Eight haven't fought for more than six months. Granted injuries and medical suspensions happen, but it is getting ridiculous. Charles McCarthy, Travis Lutter and Matt Serra haven't fought for a year. Granted, Serra was injured, but that was after the long layoff for his coaching stint on "The Ultimate Fighter." A fighter should get at least three fights a year. On top of that, these guys need to make a living, and sponsors like to see their brand shown on the big screen. As a fan, I'd like to see more three-hour UFC Fight Night broadcasts where five to seven fights are shown and 12 fights are on the card.
