These promotions really got to build their own fighters up and stop picking up washed ufc fighters. No one is gonna to watch Karate combat for luke rockhold.

I agree, but I don’t think new/up and coming organizations can afford that. Promoting unknown fighters for a small league probably costs more than drafting UFC vets, who likely draw more eyes on name recognition.

I'm trying to follow the PFL and its annoying because they do the 5 embedded episodes leading up to their fight card. PFL should just make one because no one cares enough to watch 5 behind the scenes videos for a pfl card.
