Comp tickets

edit

Should there be a column for the amount of tickets given out for free. The info is out there somewhere if we look. I think there were around 4000 free tickets given out at the last German event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.94.181.36 (talk) 00:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Attendance column

edit

It would be nice to have an attendance column, possibly also a PPV buys column, if we can find reliable sources for such info. VegaDark 02:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'd agree with this, and perhaps a column with the headline fight?

I'd like to see consensus on this before we get any further. Putting everything into a table would be cumbersome, and a simple date and place works well enough for me. I think the purpose of this page should be as a gateway to the rest of the UFC event pages, and even if there is consensus on adding more columns, less is better for me. hateless 22:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm against it. Attendance is going to be very difficult to obtain for earlier events. PPV buys is hearsay at best since it's not public information. There are probably other ways that we can improve the article. Focusing on the autoreview [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Peer_review/Automated/December_2006#List_of_UFC_events ] would probably be a good start when we have some time. So far it's basically just been maintenance.Falcomadol 15:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I am definitly for it. Attendence for I would say at least 80% of the events is known and can be obtained fairly early. The only ones that it would be hard to get for would be probably around UFC 15 to 28. I am all for an attendence column. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.47.213.68 (talk) 23:31, 15 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

How is it pointless even though we're missing a few events? Having over 90% of the events is a valuable tool. It's certainly not pointless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RKing85 (talkcontribs) 06:54, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

The attendance numbers are way off on many of the events. It's painfully obvious when you see numbers over 20,000. Did someone vandalize this page? 38.121.184.146 (talk) 00:41, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

UFC 100 & 37.5 Explanation

edit

What's with the lengthy explanation about UFC 100 not being the actual 100th event? The paragraph mentions UFC 37.5, but leaves out The Ultimate Ultimate, Ultimate Ultimate 2, UFC Brazil, and UFC Japan events. I understand those were not officially numbered, but it's an arbitrary system anyway. I don't see the point in including the paragraph in the article at all and I'm willing to discuss it further if needed. 134.29.6.8 (talk) 20:45, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Error in Event locations

I'm not sure which one is missing now, but when adding all the countries: 149+10+7+4+2+2+1+1+1+1= 178.

Forward chrono

edit

According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists#Chronological ordering, this list should be basically forward chronological, rather than reverse. The desire to keep recent events at top would be accommodated not by reverse chrono but by portioning out the recent events separately. For instance, one subhead breakdown could be "Recent events" (beginning of year to present), "Future events" (all future), and "All events" (complete list to beginning of current year, followed by links back to the other two sections). The first two could also be reversed in that case. Any comments on compliance with this MOS guideline? JJB 13:27, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

edit

IDK what's going on but several of the FX pages were arbitrarily deleted and do not redirect to any sort of omnibus page with results.

Furthermore, all the Fuel cards have stayed up despite being less notable. There could be a case made that the earlier Ultimate Fight Nights were less relevant as well.

I really don't understand the process here, it seems illogical and certainly hasn't had enough effort put into it. I don't understand the thought process and these actions appear to be being taken by people who don't understand MMA, judging by the lack of redirects and the deletions applying to single pages.

Is an event which sees the rematch for the Heavyweight Title not deemed worthy of an individual Wiki page? The first fight was Cain's first loss, and a very fast one at that. He is looking to avenge it in what will be Junior Dos Santos' first defence. It doesn't seem right that it doesn't have a page. It really just seems like somebody has a vendetta against MMA.

Why is there no information about UFC 155? It wasn't cancelled. It's a legitimate event worthy of a page to itself; it's a card headlined by a Heavyweight Title fight. From the small amount of research I've done it seems there's one or two people who hate the UFC and feel they need to do whatever they can to ruin Wikipedia for UFC fans. Really? Don't you have anything better to do? How is this not worthy of it's own page? There should at least be a listing of the confirmed match-ups. There are pages dedicated to movies that have not yet been released. So why not a sporting event that is going to happen in the near future? It doesn't make any sense. I don't know enough about making Wikipedia pages to put one up, but I assume if I did, it would get taken down pretty quick. What a shame. Wikipedia used to be a great resource for the UFC and MMA in general. Now it's ruined by a tiny minority.

What is the logic behind that?

edit

Why does American and Canadian cities are written along with their respective States and cities from other parts of the world are not? I mean, why is the logic behind a "Montreal, Quebec" and "Belo Horizonte, Brazil"? We should put "Montreal, Canada" and "Belo Horizonte, Brazil" or "Montreal, Quebec" and "Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais". It's obious that we have to use the same formula to all cities, and not put the States only to Canadian and American cities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soulflytribe (talkcontribs) 14:24, 22 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Or maybe "Montreal, Quebec, Canada"... Oskar Liljeblad (talk) 14:27, 22 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
In particular for US cities, the state is used to disambiguate which city is being referred to. For example, "Los Angeles, Califorina, United States" distinguishes it from "Los Angeles, Texas, United States" and "Los Angeles, Kentucky, United States". For this particular article (and for MMA fighter record tables), "United States" (spelled out, not abbreviated) should always follow city/state names and "Canada" should always follow city/province names. Not having them is incorrect as per WP:MMA guidelines. --TreyGeek (talk) 18:01, 22 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
I've fixed the locations as follows: Added "United States" and "Canada" where missing; fixed wiki-links to avoid unnecessary redirects (ie [[Los Angeles, California]] is now [[Los Angeles]], [[California]])); unlinked countries as per WP:OVERLINK. One thing I didn't do, but probably should be done is the removal of flags as per both WP:MMA and WP:FLAGICON; they are redundant in this list. --TreyGeek (talk) 18:43, 22 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
It's better, but still a bit messy. Why would we write "Cologne, Germany" or "Gold Coast, Australia" without their respective States/Provinces? You said that "In particular for US cities, the state is used to disambiguate which city is being referred to." Right, but this is not something restrict to the US or Canada only. You have plenty of cities with repeated names all over the world. I insist that we should use the same formula to all cities. Soulflytribe (talk) 15:19, 23 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm a mixed martial arts journalist and I understand them wanting to not have UFC 155 like two months out, but to not have a separate page for UFC 155 when the event is just 10 days away is unbelievable.

Events (Thank you)

I agree completely, and I don't think there is any reason to think that a "thank-you" is inappropriate. I think the Talk section is also the appropriate place to offer it. If I could tender a request, could the upcoming events be listed soonest to latest by date and past events most recent to oldest? It seems to me that that is the most useful way to organize them. I know I occasionally edit and comment, but I don't know if there is or is not a particular "owner" for highest-level maintenance of this page.Demodave (talk) 21:56, 17 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Flags

Can we have the flags back to show the nation that hosted the events? Flags back on the individual card pages to show the nationalities would be good too.

ok, i did flags on one event with the intention of going through all upcoming events but someone reverted it saying consensus was no flags. Dimspace (talk) 00:51, 5 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

If I can take part in the discussion - I think that it was very bad decision about removing flags from names of event places, cause flags are significantly facilitate finding events taking place outside the US. It was very helpful so it have no sense to removing them, Please admins to return flags.

Event host city vs. number

edit

I added the Jaragua and Macau events, and initially labelled them 'UFC Fight Night 35' and 'UFC Fight Night 36', but there will probably be other Fight Night events that take place before those ones, making the numbers incorrect. The UFC doesn't officially use the numbers for these events anyway. I think it'd be better to just list them all as "UFC Fight Night", without any subtitle at all, than to use the numbers. Also, I think because of the high number of UFC events, and the large number of cities the UFC travels to, events are becoming more identifiable by their locations than the event numbers. I also changed 'Fight Night 34' to 'Fight Night: Singapore' and 'Fox 9' to 'Fox: Sacramento', since neither event has a main event fight set. I don't think this is an important issue, as neither the event number nor the host city will be used in the title of an event once it has a main event fight set; these are just placeholder names. 82.3.69.175 (talk) 07:46, 10 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Las Vegas Valley?

edit

Is there a reason why all the Las Vegas links on this page go to Las Vegas Valley (a metropolitan area), and not the actual city of Las Vegas? Do some of the "Las Vegas" events actually happen in Henderson, NV or Paradise, NV? If not, then the link should to the actual city of Las Vegas, which is what I think most people would expect to find when they click a link that says "Las Vegas."

It's like an event taking place in Brooklyn, but when you click "Brooklyn, NY," it takes you to New York metropolitan area.

Actually, I just answered my own question. "Las Vegas, Nevada, USA" redirects to Las Vegas Valley. The actual city of Las Vegas article is simply called "Las Vegas." It appears to be a simple mistake. Unless there is a reason to include Henderson/Paradise in the event locations, I'd like to change the Las Vegas links to the city of Las Vegas.

Sort order

edit

I've made a rather significant pair of edits and reversed the sort of both tables in this article so that they're ascending, as is generally the convention on Wikipedia. This is particularly useful for the "scheduled" table, since I imagine readers would be more interested in the next upcoming event, not the most distant one which doesn't even have all the details filled in yet. As for the "past" table, it seemed a little odd to have the event number descending to me, but it was more a matter of keeping with the convention. I used a script to reverse the rows rather than doing it by hand, and I don't believe anything was lost (the change in character count in my second edit is because I removed a few superfluous line breaks in some references so every row had the same number of lines of markup - just made the script simpler), but if I missed anything, or if you disagree with the change, please let me know. --Fru1tbat (talk) 13:27, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I disagree with these very good faith edits. The old way, which was IAR, showed the very convenient hop from upcoming to past events. Sortability does not help to restore this. Is there another way? Perhaps an additional column? I feel obligated to revert and ask for WP:BRD to be observed considering that this is page is so heavily edited and this significant change will be quickly buried. Also, if agreed upon, this can be done conveniently with a script at any time, so no substantial work lost. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:10, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
IAR is fine, but is there a good reason to do so here? The broken "convenient hop" could very easily be resolved by moving the "scheduled" table to after the "past" table, which actually seems better to me, come to think of it. Which is more relevant to an encyclopedia: scheduled/tentative events, or events that have already occurred? Either way, in my opinion, the benefit to the reader of listing the next upcoming event as the default top table item (for the reasons mentioned above) outweighs the benefits of maintaining the "continuous" order between the two tables. I'd like to hear other thoughts, of course. --Fru1tbat (talk) 16:01, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • I've thought a lot about this as well. The Mixed martial arts record table also displays in the newest at the top, oldest at the bottom order. I have been unable to find anything concrete in the manual of style stating that everything must be newest to oldest. In the long run i would rather order things the same way that the rest of wikipedia does though. The only table/list that i personally think should stay in what appears to be newest to oldest order would be the MMAevent table, i feel that that is sorted billing order rather than date order, which i feel is correct for that table/list. These changes would affect a number of articles and should probably be discussed at talk:WPMMA to give as many people as possible the opportunity to join the discussion. Kevlar (talk) 17:32, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
You probably won't find anything that says "must" either way, guidelines being what they are, but there are still relevant guidelines. The most significant is probably WP:SALORDER (WP:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists#Chronological ordering), which says "Chronological lists, including all timelines and lists of works, should be in earliest-to-latest chronological order." Note also that the next section in this very article ("Number of events by year") lists years from earliest to latest. --Fru1tbat (talk) 19:01, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Personally I would prefer if the sorting is based on year/date, so oldest events come first, and more recent events come in last. It's a bit moot because the sorting functionality works as-is, so I just click on the table element with the up and down arrows, and then I get the sorting I prefer - but it confused me when I came to the article here. Other articles on wikipedia are sorted by year/date mostly, so this was strange to see how the default is different in that article. What also confused me was that there were special UFC events which were added in the table ... I think sorting by UFC 1, UFC 2, UFC 3 etc... would have been much simpler. Not quite sure why the special events are added to the table. Perhaps it may be better to keep the tables different? I came here originally for a list of chronological entries, in particular because the ~10 oldest UFC events are available on youtube (well, kinda of ... russian translations ... :P) and I simply wanted to know when these old UFC events all happened. Turns out my memory was wrong since I didn't know UFC already had events in 1993/1994 ... the article right now of course includes that information, it's only strange how the table (or tables) is layout in general 2A02:8388:1604:F600:6D3E:54F:D1:F386 (talk) 16:31, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Removed planned events that never happened

edit

I removed the 3 planned UFC events that never happened: Lamas vs. Penn, UFC 176 and UFC 151. Firstly, they aren't notable. Secondly, they aren't "Past Events" since they never actually happened. Thirdly, there is no compelling reason to list just these events. There have been plenty of other scheduled events that have been cancelled at some point between their announcements and cancellations. Their inclusion just devalues the otherwise notability of real events that actually happened.I remember halloween (talk) 20:46, 20 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Any objections?I remember halloween (talk) 21:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

If nobody is called, nobody will give their opinions here... That's pretty obvious. Don't pretend like you don't know. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 20:11, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Either way, care to pose a defense? I've yet to hear you voice a compelling argument.I remember halloween (talk) 01:29, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Plenty of them on edit summaries already. Those are not events that were simply announced on a date and then canceled. Major events (including two PPVs) canceled with a full card already booked and even tickets sold already. You can't simply let them on limbo, specially because the numbered events count didn't jump those events. It's clearly written that the event was canceled and that it does not count for the overall list of events. But since this is the only article that displays such information on past events, it's unprecedent to keep them there. Also, it keeps a timeline of scheduled events (even if they didn't take place in the end). Gsfelipe94 (talk) 17:48, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series

edit

Does it make sense to list these events as "UFC Events"? This article by Damon Martin indicates otherwise - http://www.foxsports.com/ufc/story/dana-white-receives-promoters-license-for-new-contender-series-separate-from-ufc-061417 This is from the article - It was stated ahead of the license being approved that “this is not the UFC, this is not the UFC brand,” but instead a promotion that will allow up and coming fighters the chance to showcase their talents in hopes that one day they may compete in the UFC. Perhaps a separate page can be created to just have DWTNCS events so it doesn't blur with the offical UFC events. 158.151.208.51 (talk) 17:32, 22 June 2017 (UTC) Fight FanReply

No, its not a UFC event as such. none of the fighters have UFC contracts,. it would be like putting all the TUF episodes on the events list. Im going to later today have a bash at moving the dana white stuff to a fresh article (at the moment its part of UFC in 2017) and then it can probably just be linked to. Dimspace (talk) 19:40, 30 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
created a seperate article Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series away from UFC in 2017 page as its an ongoing thing. its also clear that UFC are not the promotors with DW having his own promoters licence Dimspace (talk) 20:26, 30 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

I mean on broadcasting on ESPN networks or ESPN+ , we should pronounce "UFC on ESPN", "UFC on ESPN+" or just only keeping "UFC fight night"? Skng6135 (talk) 09:05, 20 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Disable automatic results showing?

edit

Hi. I use wikipedia for checking whos fighting on past cards before i watch them because sometimes i just don't know, or i forget who fought from a past show that i hadn't seen yet. I was wondering if you could make the Results of who defeated who, as a clickable button, so people such as myself can see whos fighting, without the results automatically showing who defeated who. Thank you 2601:203:4201:AF00:A0E4:99BF:C237:E72 (talk) 16:39, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I know that this is technically feasible - we could just use the 'expand/collapse' thing. Not sure how that's done, though. DS (talk) 17:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Premature Edits?

edit

Is there a reason why ongoing UFC events are consistently moved to the Past Events section before they're done? Often as soon as the main card has only just started. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the entire event has finished? Poshzombie (talk) 01:08, 17 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
