5 reasons why the UFC is better than WWE

#3 There’s less content to follow

Following all of WWE's content can take a massive amount of time

Oversaturation has become a major buzzword amongst MMA fans ever since the UFC began to really expand back in 2006, and ever since the explosion of the Fox deal, some UFC fans have complained that the promotion simply puts on too many shows to follow these days.

By this, though, UFC fans usually mean one show per week is a little hard to keep up with – as opposed to the bi-monthly (or thereabouts) shows we used to get prior to the TUF boom. In reality though, one show per week is a drop in the ocean when compared to the amount of content that WWE produces.

Following all of the WWE content on television per week would involve a massive 5 hours per week, and that’s only to be able to watch the flagship shows Raw and SmackDown. To digest all of the weekly content – using the WWE Network – you’d also have to give up another hour for NXT, another hour for 205 Live, another for NXT UK and another for WWE Main Event.

Essentially, that’s a massive 9 hours of content per week – and that isn’t even including the ‘special events’ that used to be broadcast on pay-per-view but are now more accessible to viewers via the WWE Network.

UFC fans not only have less content to digest, but due to each show having different fighters, it’s easy for a fan of the product to dip in and out and pick and choose which shows to watch without losing touch of exactly what’s going on in the promotion.

The same cannot be said for WWE, where missing an episode could easily see a viewer miss out on an integral part of a storyline. Forget oversaturation – to follow the UFC is a whole lot easier for a fan to do than to follow WWE.
