Poirier and Duffy have both looked great recently so that's an interesting fight but other than that.. yeah, just a bunch of Irish and British no-names taking on other no-names.

What an absolute nut punch of a card.

Regional cards are better than this.

Out of my 15 friends that we use to hang out together to watch UFC cards, about 3 still watch MMA other than your 1,2 stacked cards every year. Dana has turned the UFC into a money making joke.

The main event should be good.

Plus, Paddy Holohan!

Lost 90 % of my interest in the card once miocic fell...

The product is so diluted.

The main event is off.

"Due to a medical issue involving UFC lightweight Joe Duffy, the new main event of UFC FIGHT NIGHT in Ireland on Saturday will be a three-round bout featuring hometown hero Paddy Holohan vs. Louis Smolka.

"Having learned that Duffy received a strike to the head during training earlier this week, UFC sent him for medical tests in Ireland for precautionary purposes. The results determined that Duffy suffered a mild concussion and due to the proximity of the fight this Saturday UFC will not permit him to compete. The health and safety of UFC athletes will continue to be the top priority for the organization. As such, UFC has respected standard athletic commission regulations, which recommend a medical suspension from competition as a result of the concussion.

“Duffy’s original opponent, Dustin Poirier, will be rescheduled for another event. Fans seeking ticket refunds as a result of the main event changes can do so through Ticketmaster at the point of purchase.”

Just when you think this card can't get any worse, it does. Nothing to see here. We can all just go on as if there's no card this weekend.

I hope the UFC is issuing refunds for people who purchased tickets.

I hope the UFC is issuing refunds for people who purchased tickets.

It says they are in the last sentence of the article posted. That said, I doubt many fans actually go for refunds. The Irish fans are fanatical for fighting and they'll likely all show up for this crap card regardless.

Good on the UFC.

Main event wasn't too bad. Some good ground work and Smolka gets the finish.

Parke looked pretty decent too vs Madadi.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Love all the heart from Paddy. What a great fight.

That Dalby/Till fight. Impressed by both. Till looked great first 2 rounds. Dalby has a ****ing chin.
