they killed it by pumping out way too many shit fightcards in my opinion. goes to show you who wins in the quantity ys quality battle i guess.

That is going to change now that the UFC has absorbed the WEC. Adding the lighter weight classes and exciting guys like Jose Aldo, Urijah Faber, Mike Brown, Ben Henderson, etc. is going to make a HUGE difference in the quality of fight cards. Injuries have hurt the UFC a ton (for instance I was really looking forward to Roy Nelson vs Shane Carwin before Carwin ended up injured and needing major back surgery), so having a big stable of Bantamweight and Featherweight fighters to fall back in is exactly what they needed...
