Thats great for the hardcore fans or the ones who understand it, but for people who know nothing, they need the big lights, the entrance ramp, the pyro, the giant show feel of it you get whenever you watch any other professional sport.
You are right, but I think for whatever reason, the niche thing with UFC is quite clearly working.

Just cuz some douchebag boxing fan is obviously going to side with his sport doesn't mean there's anything wrong with UFC production. It's just lower key, but it's super tight. I like how it isn't over the top personally.
