Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by MMAJunkie editor-in-chief Dann Stupp.
Eleven months are in the books now and before the MMA world settles into the meatiest part of this year's schedule, Breen and Stupp take stock of 2015 so far and whether it was a “good year” for the sport. The two discuss the emergence of Conor McGregor and potentially Holly Holm as draws for the UFC, the company's strategy for stacking the last quarter of the year and how it will ultimately pay off and why there could be trouble ahead for the UFC's early 2016 schedule after UFC 195 with so much invested in the month of December.
Breen and Stupp also dissect the 2015 campaign for Bellator MMA, consider how free agency could change the company's direction in the new year and the surprising irony of the UFC moving more toward Bellaor's tentpole event structure.
