If you’ve been feeling like the UFC is occupying a lot of your free time lately, it isn’t your imagination. The world’s foremost MMA organization is coming off a stretch of four straight events — two of them pay-per-views, and all of them on Saturday nights — before going into the briefest little two-week hibernation leading up to UFC 137 at the end of the month.
After that, it’s UFC 138 from England on November 5, then the UFC’s FOX debut the weekend after that, and then UFC 139 in San Jose the weekend after that. Once we hit 2012, the UFC calendar only gets busier.
It makes you wonder, between the UFC’s pay-per-view offerings, cable TV events, and regular reality show installments, what’s the true cost in both money and time for hardcore fans who simply have to see it all?
