It sounds like they are promoting Fedor but ALSO selling up Brett in case he wins—unlike their one-sided promotion of Kimbo.
I think they are trying to make it sound like a closer match up than it really is on paper.
And who knows, they may be right.
Is it just me or does it seem like the UFC is slowly slipping into last place in terms of video production/promotional videos/intros?
i agree
ufc needs to hire some top notch editors to put together some packages… problem is they have a template and they stick to it, but that can get very boring
Last place?
I guess your saying Strikeforce is doing a better job then the UFC because I cant even think of who else your saying is better than the UFC.
Strikeforce is doing well considering that they had no fight footage really to use for Fedor but I still think the UFC does a hell of a job.
I’d be more interested to see Strikeforce try and sell a bad fight. It’s easy to sell someone on top but look at 106 the UFC is selling a main event where 1 fighter is 0-1-1 in his last 2 fights and the other fighter is 0-2 in his last 2 fights and they will still get at least 300k buys.
Dream’s production for Dream12 was great, imho.
In my opinion, UFC’s production overall is still the best.

Dream’s last promotion videos are better than the UFC countdowns. The 24/7 boxing series is better than the UFC countdowns. The showtime 360 show is better than the UFC countdowns. Its not going to be long before the UFC realizes they need to step it up. In my opinion considering where the UFC is at this point in time as far as a company as a whole, Their “countdowns” should already be way better than all those promotions mentioned above. They are seriously lacking sometimes I watch the countdowns and wonder where they hire the people who are putting the show together. I could do a better job with my dads old mac and final cut pro.
That 360 show was a load of crap. I was bored to tears. It was awful. There was nothing in that show that made me want to watch the fight. Watching Rogers get a haircut while talking on his phone is not quality programing.
I guess your saying Strikeforce is doing a better job then the UFC because I cant even think of who else your saying is better than the UFC.
Surely you’re kidding!
Every major Japanese promotion is head and shoulders above the UFC aesthetically. Even the ones with about 1/50th the budget.
I’m actually not ready to say that Strikeforce is better yet, though—I disliked almost everything about the production their last big show.

An example of what the Japanese could do …one of the most amazing fight clips I’ve seen
meh
Why be creative when you can add the same tired rap or heavy metal to a video and call it a day?

The Pride 2003-5 Final Round GP videos I think were better than anything I’ve ever seen from the UFC. 2004’s my favourite. 1/6000000000! The UFC has a simple format that they stick to quite closely. Have fighter standing, looking muscular in room with water spraying on them (?) while Dana/Rogan hype them up over fight clips. Its slick, and a pretty good vehicle for hyping up the fights,but pretty easy to emulate. I think Pride and Dream though, occasionally had the ability to take it to a real art form. Here’s 2004 Pride opening video

Untouchable.
Damn man
It’s such a shame they can’t use any actual footage. Interesting way around it, but lacks a lot of power that the actual clips would have.

It looked kind of cool to me. Better than nada.

you know what'd be funny?
If fedor gets knocked out without even being hit, sort of like Kimbo Slice! haha. Sorry. The whole king thing bothers me so I do hope Rogers will make him humble but don’t bet on it.
Of all people to want to see “made humble,” you choose Fedor. Seriously? He’s gotta be the most humble great fighter ever. Just going by his interviews and personality, no one would even guess that hes a winning fighter, let alone the most dominant fighter in the history of the MMA.

yeah because Fedor is so damn egotistical. He needs to be humbled.
