Best card ever.

It's only a matter of time before it is ruined by injuries.

 

[Wood Stick]

I thought they were doing 6 main card fights for some reason with Tate on it..

 

[MD thaivuN]

this is too good to be true. Injury Bug is so going to strike

 

[m9]

Disagree on the injuries. Guy get 'injured' and fall off on the smaller cards, but guys want to be a part of this card so they'll fight through most issues.

Just wasn't sure if I was right there as I only read a title of the main card. This is going to be a massive card. Such a ****ing shame you couldn't open the main card with Cerrone/Lawler.

This card is savage as hell...

I'm okay with that fight not taking place, if only cause they're both fan favorites, and I wouldn't want to see either get finished

But putting Cerrone against Gastelman is "wasting" the cowboy. At least Lawler would brawl.

This card is stacked... but I don't care about have of these fights. The title fights are all irrelevant . Weidman/Romero is good, don't care for Tate.
Rashad is my favorite fighter, but he's pretty much done. Lost the killer instinct...
rest of the card seems pretty predictable.

I just see big names, but not great fights. I have that "something's missing" feeling but hopefully that goes away.

Cormier/Rumble should on that card as the co-main event. Unfortunately with Dana hugging Jones's balls so tight, that match will never happen without Rumble having to go through Jones first.

That's much of the same, though. We saw that fight, probably will go the same way. UFC fights have turned to names and not matchups (which builds names).

Is Joe Silva gone?

 

[darko]

Man what a card.

I love the way Eddie is embracing the bad guy role in this fight. He's doing a complete heel turn right now and it's hilarious to watch.

This makes an already interesting fight even more of a must watch...

 

[Zeppo]

Meh, that just makes him a bad guy to that specific group of fans he's talking about. And he was always going to be the bad guy to them.

Sounds to me like he's making a fair point.

He's trying to take the wind out of McGregor's sail by beating him to the punch. Pretty brilliant, IMO. It'll be fun to see how McGregor responds and if he can get inside Eddie's head or if Eddie is in his,

 

[Suxnet]

Eddie is pretty much right, but I'd say Conor's fanboys are much worse than he is. I don't really even dislike the guy, because I realize he's putting on somewhat of an act to get more views and buys, but what reason do his fans have to be so obnoxious? It's pretty embarrassing people act like that.

 

[member 51464]

I am very interested to see how McGregor looks at this weight, regardless of a win or loss, because I think we all can agree this is likely to be the class he fights in going forward.

 

[Jasper]

Hope there are no more injuries. This card is ridiculously good.

 

[kurt]

Right around the corner!

 

[m9]

I haven't heard as much hype for this card as I was expecting.. maybe I've just been too NHL/NFL focused lately.

But that said, I can't wait for it. Going to be a great night of fights.

matchup wise, it wasn't all that much of a fun fight anyways. if there was a fight sacrificed to the injury bug, might as well be that one

Pretty much.

And I'm a big Rashad fan

 

[member 51464]

Alvarez has to be a pretty big favorite, no?
