10 UFC Changes Fans Absolutely Hated

Reebok Deal: The UFC's partnership with Reebok in 2015 forced all fighters to wear Reebok uniforms, eliminating individual sponsorships and potentially reducing fighter pay.

Fighter Layoffs: The UFC has faced criticism for releasing fighters who were popular with fans, but were not necessarily on a losing streak or performing poorly.

Fighter Pay: Fans have criticized the UFC for not paying fighters enough, with many top-level fighters having to supplement their income with other jobs or sources of revenue.

Interim Titles: Fans have been frustrated with the UFC's overuse of interim titles, which are often used as a marketing tool rather than a legitimate way to determine a division's top contender.

Weight Cutting: Fans have expressed concern over the dangerous practice of weight cutting, which has resulted in several fighters missing weight and even dying due to extreme dehydration.

Performance Enhancing Drugs: The UFC's handling of performance enhancing drug (PED) use by fighters has come under fire, with fans calling for stricter penalties and more rigorous testing.

Fighter Injuries: Fans have criticized the UFC for not doing enough to protect fighters from serious injuries, particularly head trauma.

Conor McGregor: While McGregor was once one of the most popular fighters in the UFC, fans have grown tired of his antics outside of the octagon and his lack of activity inside it.

Fight Scheduling: Fans have criticized the UFC for booking fights that don't make sense from a rankings perspective or that don't live up to the hype.

Refereeing and Judging: Fans have long complained about the inconsistency and perceived bias of UFC referees and judges, with controversial decisions often sparking outrage among fans.
