UFC is much more mainstream at this point I think. For some reason, WWE is trying to appeal to children who have to go to bed before the main event and can't afford tickets and PPVs. I don't get it.
You kinda answered your own question, in a way. A big part of it is so as not to compete with UFC for PPV dollars. UFC is much more mainstream, but not to KIDS.
That said, if there was ANY time to launch a strike against UFC PPVs and steal back some of those PPV dollars, 2012 is the time. UFC is stuck right now trying to balance keeping big fights on PPV while giving away more big fights for free than ever before on Fox/FX in an attempt to grow the sport, and on top of that they can't get both Brock and GSP healthy at the same time, and those are their two biggest PPV draws by leaps and bounds.
