The UFC is always growing every year, and people are responding in the best way to each event, and even more so when they bring in recognized fighters. I really like watching the UFC and I think it is one of my favorite sports.

Of course I do know that the UFC is an organization, the MMA is a sport, I watch all the fights, I know who the new lightweight, heavyweight, featherweight champion is, etc., I don't need to give you explanations, I think this sport is always on the rise. and even more so when fights between renowned fighters take place.

There have been many problems in the UFC, news came out that they paid the fighters very little, but I think all that was a lie to discredit the UFC, I hope they continue like this, giving events that people like.

Nobody force them to fight! They offer them amount and if they sign cotract, that mean that I agree with that! Nobody scam them! If you are new fighter with few matches, ofcourse that nobody would give them big amounts!

That's how it should be, that renowned fighters have to win more compared to fighters who are just starting out, of course they won't win like a soccer player but I think they do win well, and it's also a sport that is growing and that makes that is worth much more.

7 years ago I started watching the UFC, I think it is the best fight, I really liked the fight between Magregor and Nick Diaz, a tremendous fight that was a spectacle for all the viewers.

It was a great fight, for me the best of all the events, I hope Magregor can return to fight with Topuria, the Spaniard who is a good fighter, he challenged him and he answered, there will be a great fight at the end of the year.

That's right, the best organization and it will always be for the rest of the years, every year it surprises us with beautiful events, now this year there is going to be a great fight for the championship, I think Tupuria has challenged him to Magregaor, he wants to fight with him, I hope this is at the level.
