1) Reduce the number of PPVs. Currently, there are about 13 PPVs per year. There should be no more than 8/year. Fans are more likely to pay for 8 stacked PPVs than 13 mediocre ones.

Offer a package for the 8 PPVs where you get a 10-20% discount for the purchase.

2) Add additional weight classes for men (no change to women’s)

· Currently: 125, 135, 145, 155, 170, 185, 205, HW

· Proposed: 125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205, 225, HW

Create a 4-man tournament to determine the new champ at the new 165, 175, 195, and 225 lbs. weight classes. The current 170 lbs. champion has the option to fight the winner of the tournament for either the 165 or 175 lbs.

This helps with the weight cutting issues and provides extra safety for the fighters. It also gives more belts to help stack the PPVs. People pay for title fights.

3) Continue with early weigh-ins the day before but extend the weigh-in period. It is currently 9:00-11:00 a.m. the day before the fight. Extend this to 3:00 p.m. giving fighters extra time to make weight.

In addition, fighters should be required to arrive in the city of the fight one week before the fight and weigh in. At that weigh in, the fighter must be within a safe weight cut %.

4) The Fox contract has expired. Get rid of Fight Pass. Negotiate a new contract with either Amazon or Netflix.



Amazon or Netflix will pay UFC for the content while the UFC can utilize either companies existing streaming platform without having to spend the extra money on their own platform.

5) Let the Rebook contract lapse. A uniform is good for professionalism but it needs to benefit the fighters. This should be done through uniform guidelines.

6) If a champion can’t defend his belt for 12 months then, and only then, should an interim belt be created. Upon return, the champion must compete to unify the belts. If the champion can’t defend for 18 months, he will be stripped and the interim champion awarded the title
