MMA Guru criticizes UFC: “When will someone fight Jiri Prochazka in Czechia or Jan Blachowicz in Poland?”

MMA Guru a well-known MMA expert has criticized the UFC. Among other questions, the Englishman asked when someone will fight Jan Blachowicz in Poland? At the same time he stuck a pin in the APEX events.

MMA Guru is a well-known Brit in the MMA community, who started as a youtuber and is currently regarded as an expert who focuses mainly on the events of the UFC organization. Demetrious Johnson former champion of the best MMA league in the world in the flyweight category decided to meet with the Englishman to discuss many interesting topics.

Johnson at one point asked Slack what he would change about the UFC if he were in charge of managing the organization. The MMA Guru immediately began to list things that need urgent improvement. Of course, the expert strongly criticized the UFC, and we may be glad to know that he mentioned Jan Blachowicz, suggesting that the best MMA organization should come to Poland, similarly to the Czech Republic so that Jiri Prochazka could fight on its territory.

Of course, there was also a dabble for UFC officials, who notoriously hold events at the APEX facility.

– First of all, I would move out of UFC Apex. I would certainly reduce the number of galas by at least 2-3 less per year. I would change the Contender program to a tournament format. What else? More “home” galas, which also means more fights on the opponent’s turf. When will someone fight Jiri Prochazka in the Czech Republic? When will someone fight Jan Blachowicz in Poland? When will someone fight Dricus Du Plessis in South Africa? The UFC has stopped scheduling galas featuring local heroes. Du Plessis vs Chimaev is a great fight, but it will take place in Chicago.

– When will we get galas where silencing of opponent’s fans will occur? Stipe Miocić knocked out Fabricio Werdum in Brazil and there was silence in the stands. Then Miocić knocked out Overeem at his home in Cleveland, Ohio, and the whole crowd went wild. Such things don’t happen anymore. We have a few millionaires and fighters’ families in the stands at APEX. Watching it on TV, we hear individual voices, there is no aura there, no atmosphere.

– I would also introduce decent announcements, instead of Dana White’s bald head on a selfie camera on the Internet. After all, you can present the fighters, put them face to face and announce their duel that way. I would also like interviews where the fighters sit side by side and promote the fight. Even those who seem boring could surprise by being provoked by the rival’s words. Journalists in MMA ask the same questions over and over again: “How was your camp?”, “How do you feel in Columbus?”. Sit the fighters face to face, everything changes. It’s completely different when someone tells you right to your face that they will destroy you.
