This should be a very good main card. Potential for some fun fights.

I wonder how the main event will be for the live Vancouver crowd. It's a very technical striker vs a grappler. Does that crowd just hate Mighty Mouse fights or are they likely to get pretty impatient in this one as well?

I think the crowd should be fine, but it will depend on how the actual fight is. But yeah, fun main card.

Probably as bad of an undercard as you'll see though.. ugly.

 

[tmurfin]

I usually try to watch these ugly undercard a because they sometimes tend to put on some good fights.

I'm interested to see how Pettis looks. He needs this win big time.

Main card does look pretty damn decent for sure, but you guys are right about the undercard. This is kinda what undercards should be like though, IMO. I always find it weird when they have bigger name guys on undercards for some events, while others have nobodies fighting on main cards.

I think I might make the trip across the water and try to get cheap tickets for this.

I took a look on ticketmaster and used the option where you can pick exactly where you want to sit and looks like there is A LOT of tickets still available for this one. Would be surprised if it sold 10,000 tickets.

I like Condit a lot so when this fight was announced I was not happy. I don't see how he wins this. I don't think Maia finishes him but he'll control him long enough on the ground to take a decision.

Considering the majority of the crowd will be gangbangers, I think their patience for grappling will be rather short. They'll want blood.

There's a list of when/where things are happening over the next few days.

It's a very interesting match up. I'm actually on the opposite side of it. I think Condit is too well rounded for Maia to control for the entire fight. The fact that it's a 5 round fight makes me like Condit's chances even more. At the same time though, I also wouldn't be surprised if Maia ends up winning.

Yeah - keep an eye on Twitter. I expect there will be loads of tickets given away.

Maia takes anybody down. and with Condit's less than great takedown defense, I feel like Condit has to finish to win

 

[Rocko604]

There's a load of promotion passwords out there apparently that will give you 20% off tickets.

 

[MAHJ71]

Main card has the potential to be either a real snoozer or some great fireworks with some of those names.. I'll probably tune in for a few.

 

[MD thaivuN]

the main card fight that's likely going to be a snoozer is going to PVZ vs Rawlings. A fight between two clinch grinders... it's going to be a ugly

 

[m9]

I like Condit to finish Maia in round 4 or 5 via TKO. I don't trust Maia's cardio

 

[Sheppy]

Maia looked like absolute dog **** in the 2nd/3rd against Matt Brown (yes, he finished him but he looked very sluggish). I think Condit finishes him later in the fight for sure.

 

[Birko19]

Maia will get Condit down, if his cardio holds up the fight is his to lose.

 

[Wood Stick]

Condit doesn't need that much space and is lethal. Maia can take your back the entire fight. This is my favourite fight and the fight Ive most looked forward to in 2016.

 

[joshyhockey26]

Wild brawl. Prelims pretty fun so far

 

[tmurfin]

Good fight but I thought Barzola won that.....

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Lol Smilin Sam was awesome.

 

[Jasper]

Lauzon, VZ, Pettis, Condit

 

[td_ice]

Lauzon vs Miller. Good one so far

1-1 after 2 I'd say.
