People look at it wrong. The game has changed.
in the past, there would be one event every 2 months with usually a title fight every event with probably your first generation of favorite fighters on the card (remember, everyones first favorite is their most favorite, and once those fighters retire, its not as easy to get behind new fighters). Everyone would get together to watch that event, and the PPV numbers would be huge, and everyone would be talking about it for months leading up to it.
Now there is an event basically every other week, sometimes weekly. There is a huge amount of MMA/UFC available now. It has sort of crossed over into the realm of regular sports, for example, you don't watch every single hockey game for every team every night, you just watch the games/teams you can/follow.
It has definitely declined from when I used to get 15-20 people at my place every event, and 10 of them didnt even follow MMA/UFC, they were just there because it was the thing to do. But the other 5 guys, we still get together to watch the PPVs and FOX cards. We just don't usually watch the Fight Night events anymore as I don't have time to follow/care about 600+ fighters.
Maybe it's part of growing up abit too. We used to go out to a bar for most of the Canuck games, and throw a party for any reason we could come up with. That doesn't happen anymore either
