With Bisping, Rampage, even Demetrious Johnson who's one of the best fighters in the world. You add Pat Côté, Olivier Aubin-Mercier and the 4 other Quebecers, if you look at the tickets available it's worth the price for sure.

Do you work for Zuffa or something? lol
I love Mighty Mouse but he is fighting another random that has no business being in a title fight just yet, Rampage is old and washed up while CB vs Bisping might be a good fight but it's not something that screams "must watch tv".
It's too bad because at one point the card looked amazing, but with the habs in the playoffs and Pac vs Maywheather next week it's really just an unfortunate storm that will imo hurt this card even worse.
I'll still watch, but it will be from a bar or by other means.

It's actually a solid card in terms of stylistic match-up.
I really like fights like:
- Makdessi vs Campbell
- Kaufman vs Davis
- Laprise vs Barberina
- DJ vs Horiguchi
- Markos vs Daly
- Almeida vs Jabouin
The card lacks star power, but i do think the potential entertainment level of that card is pretty good.
It's a shame Horiguchi is facing DJ now, cauz the kid is bloody good and certainly can be a legit challenge in a year or two. If there's anyone who has the potential to beat DJ, it's Horiguchi. Sadly, he's being rushed into this fight. Being the best prospect is not enough to beat THE BEST in the sport

Agreed,
I think a rematch vs Dodson would be the most sellable fight at this time for DJ, but he's still coming back from injury and will probably need a tune up fight before. Cejudo also has that potential to challenge DJ at some point, he has looked like a beast so far.
I'm a little surprised Kaufman vs Davis isn't on the PPV, could be a good fight.
I miss those Pride days..
MMA has become a lot more mainstream and popular, which was Dana White's plan all along, so good for him, but I just don't feel it's as special anymore. It's too bad because the fighters are so much better.

I put in a $2 mise-o-jeu parlay bet for tonight:
- Cote by KO (Riggs' body is likely broken)
- Almeida by KO (love Jabouin, but he has no chin and Almeida is a dangerous offensive striker)
- Clements by KO (It's pretty much the high risk high value part of the parlay, but Clements is a dangerous 1rst round guy and I was never sold on Nordine)

sometimes these are the best cards tho - the ones everyone thinks will suck so Dana goes in and yells at people to punch each other more
Yup, but MM (just like Rousey) are such sure-bets to win that they make for good bets.
I bet on Makdessi, Cote, Rampage, Bisping each individually with MM in a 2-way parlay, then bet on Makdessi, Rampage, Bisping and MM in a 4-way parlay.
Pretty easy night for bets.
Also bet that Letourneau & Markos fights respectively would go the distance (usually a safe bet in wmma when Rousey's not fighting).

I'm going to thank Montrealers who did not care to buy tickets for this card. I originally paid $68 per tickets for the top of the building seats with crappy view, thanks to the poor sales, my seats got upgraded to floor level behind the vip section. Had a heck of a time

Have you notice that in the past couple of years guys are getting more and more hurt thus pulling out of events! Rigorous drug testing!!! Like the MLB no more immortals!!! Another thing guys are fighting boring because it's safer that way which is smart but boring.
Yeah, a lot of truth in that... last nights main event was boring and was booed almost the whole way through.

I personally hated it when part of the crowd was chanting GSP when DJ was wrestling down Horiguchi. That chant was so stupid and hypocritical.
Probably because GSP was in the building, but yeah, I hate that. Some clown yelling at the fighters all night long.
But it was pretty funny when the announcer mistook the Ole chant for "Cooooottteeeeee Cote Cote Cote... Coootteeee"

I don't know about you guys but I had a great time there. I bought Club Desjardins tickets and when we got there we found out that all the blues/greys/whites and club were closed. So instead we got tickets in the reds in row BB ! It was a great card, the main-event was great it's just stupid people who don't know anything about MMA who were booing.
