kudos to this gentleman for thinking out of the box....saw this at mmajunkie and thought it was an amazing idea...
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE UFC
"If and when the NFL players strike, it would be a great opportunity for the UFC to promote MMA to football fans. The UFC needs to showcase their hard-working fighters rather than the spoiled million-dollar babies we watch on Sundays. Planning for live events on Sunday afternoons in the fall would attract mainstream media attention and would also generate new fans. The UFC should focus on growing the sport in the U.S., which in turn will increase corporate sponsorship."

with such a large roster,the ufc could pull this off if the nfl does indeed go on strike...try and showcase some of your mid-level talent and some of your prospects...
talk about expanding your fan base and going mainstream?.......and making money?.....
if you`re afraid of overexposure,make it every other week or third week...so fans start missing it on weekends when it isn`t on...
i know that with any ongoing negotiation,things can turn on a dime....so,the ufc couldn`t contract with an nfl sponsoring network....and if the nfl came back for a shortened season,it could be problematic...
still,absolutely brilliant,imo......big brain on that guy...
