Professional set up unprofessional fighters

Since the hype is real, but to translate the momentum into numbers, the fight has to take place now.

It takes years of grind to get inside UFC's Octagon

Any fighter's ultimate dream is to strike a contract with UFC and fight inside the eminent 8-sided closed figure. It takes years, sometimes a lifetime, and even then only if you are elite, then you get consideration for the UFC. Thus, with the selection procedure for the ones who are meant to fight inside it so stern, the decision makers of the sport should maintain the prestige of UFC and might need to wave the opportunity that may bring in large numbers of the monetary sum.
