Just another freak. He has some weird hate boner for me. Has an alt account @walterjosephkovaks that he only responds to me on. Idk what his problem is but he seems like yet another mentally deranged loser

I think people are complaining about this card. But it’s pretty fun, Drew Dober, Matt Frevola, Charles Jordain, Jessica Andrade, Bryce Mitchell and Movser Evloev are worth watching because they’re either fun or good or both, i think this card is filled with lowkey bangers 

Also Cejudo vs Sterling is a good matchup, even tho Cejudo don’t deserve it

The card has fun fights on it but nothing that has any substance. Only 3 fights with ranked fighters on it. Apparently Gilbert Burns vs Belal might be on this card so we'll see

If Belal vs Burns gets added to this card I'll probably be buying a ticket and attending. I was seriously considering it until I heard Olivera was hurt. That would be a great replacement as a co-main event but I also find it hard to believe Burns is going to make that quick of a turn around. 

This card could definitely use one more fight with at least one ranked fighter involved, preferably something that could be billed as the new co-main.

I think you going to miss out on a good card, This card is filled with fun fights, I'm still exited to see most of these fight, Also find it funny how if the UFC added the consensis most boring fighter on the card (Belal) will change your mind on this card

I think burns could bring an exciting fight out of belal for once. He probably won’t have wrestling success so it’s gonna be a striking match. And we all know burns loves to brawl

Face it, very few cards are worth the 80 bucks. Annually it's just too much for a fight fan to have to shell out including ESPN+ totaling on average about $1200-1300. With that said most cards don't deserve to be labeled as trash. This card is still very entertaining and has lots of name value. It's just the greed of it all. Think about how many PPVs would sell if they were 39.99 even 49.99 record numbers every month. The people really getting robbed is whoever is going to pay the insane live event prices to sit in an arena in Newark, NJ.

If they could get burns vs belal on this card, I think it’s actually pretty damn good. Bump down jourdain fight to featured prelim & do the main card as 

Henry vs aljo 
Burns vs belal 
Movsar vs mitchell 
Yan vs Andrade 
Dober vs Frevola 

I’d pay 80 bucks for that (not that I’m going to lol)

LMAO Belal wins this 9-10 times probably will be pretty fun till Burns gasses and looks like Brady did.

Burns and belal both seem to be hinting they are fighting on this card per their twitters.

Not too excited about this card.  Glad that Cejudo is back, though.

If they make Burns vs Belal, It makes justifying giving Colby a title shot even worst, If Belal wins then you have to give it to him, 10 fight winning streak with a win over a top 5 guy, He the most boring guy in the sport, But it is a sport at the end of the day, Let the best fight the best, And If Burns win, He on a solid run too, Also with a win over a top 5 guy on a 9 fight win streak, 

Kinda find it funny how Dana is the only one who want the Colby title fight, Colby only wins since RDA in 2018 are  Lawler, Woodly and Masvidal all on 2 fight losing streaks and were all clearly shot, Colby should have to beat someone in they're prime to warrent a 3 title shot

Don't think Belal v Burns will get made, 

Muhammad wants it at a catchweight because Ramadan and Burns doesn't want it at any other weight but 170.
