I’ve been watching a lot of combat sports lately, and I’m starting to get a bit of a weird feeling about how these big organizations handle their scheduling. It feels like every other month, we get these "emergency" updates where the lineup suddenly expands at the eleventh hour because the original slate was looking pretty thin.
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing talent get a shot, but there's a certain vibe you get when a card feels like it's being patched together on a Friday afternoon. It makes me wonder if the matchmaking is getting a bit reactive rather than proactive. Is it just me, or does it feel like the "filler" fights are becoming a bigger part of the viewing experience just to keep the broadcast times consistent?
Do you guys prefer a lean, high-stakes card, or would you rather have a packed schedule even if it means some of the matchups feel a bit last-minute?
