There are only 2 really good fights on this whole card. Oliviera-Dariush and Curtis-Imavov.

Looks like my VPN is getting a workout next weekend

Admit not the best card for a PPV but there’s still plenty of good fights. Ige/Nate will be fun so should the Curtis fight. There’s 12 straight weeks of fights with so much excitement in the sport and all some of you do is cry and complain. There’s plenty of other sports to watch if you don’t like.

You dumb cuck. Don't you realise this is an event they are asking us to pay money for?

Do you think it's worth $70?

Are you for real you moron?

Oh of course. How could I be so stupid. Of course you dont care because you never ever pay money or buy a PPV.

You pirate everything and watch for free. Of course, easy to talk when you never pay a dime towards the fighters spilling their blood and guts. Who cares about them right? Lets watch for free all the time.

Paying customers who actually support the sport you love to watch for free have a right to complain when they are being sold 💩 in a package. 

So no, those who complain don't have to go watch another sport Mr High and Mighty. Because those are the people who pay so you can watch for free you cheapass. Why don't you go watch another sport?

All I’m saying is for someone who spends half their life on Tap there’s a lot of hating. Every fight could be a finish. You’re going off of name value alone. An event can only be judged after the fact yet you’re complaining, and also we’re the one talking about firing up ur vpn. Dumbass.

The concept of paying for a ppv when free streaming is readily available is crazy. That’s akin to being a cuck

3 out of 5 are worthy of a slot on a PPV imo. That makes it a weak PPV. Malott/Fugitt and Barriault/Anders are NOT PPV worthy.

I am surprised by the number of fights, surely that has to be a selling point even if the UFC have given up on the big bucks when they put Nunes Aldana as the headliner. There is still time to add a last minute fight though if they want to bump it to 12.

Nice breakdowns. You are one of the few whose breakdowns I always read through on this site. Not to slight others because I'm sure there's a lot of good material I'm missing but I only have so much time to spend reading fight breakdowns when I have to do my own.

Ok ok maybe I was a bit harsh. Sorry. But seriously 11 fights for a PPV card is seriously dropping the ball

All good. One time on vacation with my in-laws my father in law booked a Segway tour. I was pissed I just wanted to drink on the beach. The last thing I wanted to do was ride that stupid thing. I did it and it was really fun, I’d recommend it to anyone and would do it again. Learning lesson for me was never again judge anything without trying. Yea it’s 11 fights, yea not the most exciting on paper but Saturday nights watching UFC is my church look forward to any event. Hopefully we’re all surprised by this one.

I think this card should honestly be entertaining but man all the big names & fighters people actually want to watch pulled out. Hard to get excited when 90% of the big fights get canned

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 119th

Nunes vs. Aldana
Amanda Nunes, DEC
Idc what anyone says. This card is lame as hell. I'll be rooting for aldana but Nunes will probably do more damage & is the better grappler

Oliveira vs. Dariush
Beneil Dariush, TKO, R3
This is the only fight on the card I'm interested in. Dariush has a sus chin and got his back taken by chiesa so perhaps Oliveira can hurt & sub dariush but dariush seems so comfortable in chaos nowadays & Oliveira isn't very durable

Malott vs. Fugitt
Mike Malott, TKO, R2
Fun fight. I'm going with the younger more well rounded fighter

Ige vs. Landwehr
Dan Ige, TKO, R1
Nate the train isn't a top 15 fighter & ige will prove that

Anders vs. Barriault
Marc-André Barriault, DEC
Anders has improved since switching camps but I'll go with the hometown guy in a close fight

Imavov vs. Curtis
Chris Curtis, TKO, R3
Imavov is kind of soy with bad cardio. I'm sure Curtis will follow the game plan of Strickland plus wear imavov down with his signature body shots

Jasudavicius vs. Maverick
Miranda Maverick, DEC
Maverick is overrated but jasmine is a one trick pony with terrible striking

Zahabi vs. Aoriqileng
Aiemann Zahabi, DEC
Both trash so I'll go hometown guy by split decision

Bilder vs. Nelson
Kyle Nelson, DEC
Bilder doesnt impress me. I think nelson is the better striker & can avoid some of the grappling

Dvořák vs. Erceg
David Dvořák, DEC
Tough fight for erceg to take on short notice

Belbiţă vs. Oliveira
Diana Belbiţă, DEC
Both trash but I think belbita is the better striker in a mostly standup fight
