hanging around to fight.

  1. it must get frustrating fighting only a few times a year, or are there other smaller events ufc fighters can fight in?

    people like guillard, barry, mitrione, and the like.

    PPVs come around fairly often[perhaps too often?], but only so many fighters can fit on the card of course.
    if you aren't picked to fight it could become quite boring i imagine.

    seems like ages since rashad evans fought, all that hanging around can't be good for a fighter.

    so are there smaller ufc events that take place during the year for the lesser known fighters in the stable?

    Barring injuries, everybody needs to be fighting at least three times a year.

    The UFC may consider putting more fights on a card and doing some free on FB, Spike etc
