Pretty solid lineup for a free card. No absolute top tier main event, but I love the depth.

Seems to be the common theme for most cards, these days

Sucks for casual fans, though.

Yeah, but at least this is a free card.

Saffiedine vs Dos Anjos would have been a better 5-rounder. I know Holly Holm pulls in the ratings, but that main event is screaming to be a really bad striking match-up.

 

[Avs_19]

It's certainly not a bad card for a free event but I can't say I'm all that excited for it. RDA's WW debut will be something to watch.

 

[m9]

My Fight Pass just ran out this week, but I do like this card. Looks like they'll suck me back in for another year.

Colby Covington breakout kicks into high gear this weekend.

 

[tmurfin]

Interested to see how RDA looked. Bethe trying to showboat and getting head kicked to oblivion is awesome

 

[Asiantuntija]

Main event finish was example what Karma can do in MMA.

 

[Avs_19]

Only watched the main card and now I wish I hadn't.

Nice KO for Holm but that fight was just awful. Gotta love them yelling "Holly Holm is back!" at the end of it.

Solid performance for RDA in his WW debut.

 

[dss97]

Didn't watch the card. Are there any fights of note I should watch?

No. There was nothing to see. Only that KO in the Main Event.

 

[vwg*]

That was just a great, perfectly timed knockout. I generally can't stand people who are overconfident in themselves for no reason while they go around taunting people. That's Bethe Correia to a T.

 

[MD thaivuN]

I was rooting for Correia all fight. Holly Holm is just not fun to watch as a striker, not because i care if a fighter is exciting or not, but because her game is so overly frustrating to watch. Winklejohn strikers give me headaches at time

Cerrone too?

Not sure i could ever root for bethe. She's so disgusting in so many ways.

Cerrone is frustrating because he hasn't fixed his flaws. He has zero head movement, and doesn't take pressure fighters well.

Cerrone is one of the least frustrating strikers of that camp.But he also has his own personal striking coach outside from the Jackson-Wink camp. He does a good job incorporating different stuff in his striking game. Same with Swanson.

I think the camp is good at building long and rangy volume strikers, but it's also bad at nurturing counter striking and infighting.

Holm was much more active. Bethe was back stepping the entire time. Then laughed the 2 times she landed then got ktfo when she went full Bethe.

As far as Jack-Wink... she's really the only counter striker, unless you're putting renaissance Reem in that boat too... ???

That's the thing that frustrates me about Holm. Her game doesn't actively involve counter striking all that much. Holm is a weird striker that is really good at countering, but her go-to game in all her fights is all about leading and being really bad at it.

 

[MD thaivuN]

watched that Justin Scoggins vs Sasaki fight. oh boy, Scoggins is really reaching Chael Sonnen level of choking in fights.

RDA looked good too. Don't think he'll be able to handle the heavy grapplers of the division, but he should be competitive against the top strikers of WW.

 

[Asiantuntija]

Bad performance by Holm. It seems to be like she doesn't have bright future in UFC.

Her only real impressive win was Ronda Rousey.
