The UFC is more interested in promoting entertainment than the sport of MMA.

Not a PPV worthy card in the slightest. I don't really think the UFC cares what they do in PPV buys as long as they have the ESPN deal guaranteed

@Osantowski other than the main event, this is absolutely a ppv-worthy card. 3/4 of these fights are going to be great, and there are plenty of names on here like WB and Olives.

Ill be watching the fights but I won't be ordering the PPV if you catch my drift. Just not crazy about the main event.
I like  Oliveira/Dariush, and landwehr/ige. I do like the undercard though. I think the undercard will have some nice entertaining matchups.

I say this trying to be a optimist, I think Nunes vs Pena should end quick, Either in the first or 2nd round, I don't think it will be boring, Just that no one care about it, And the rest of the main card seem fine enough for a PPV,

Also most of us stream it, I'm not spending $80 on a PPV

Not buying this either lol, that dude Nunes is over rated and sits on worst divisions.
Otherwise this is a solid fight night.

Honestly I think the main card is pretty well put together 

NATE THE TRAIN IN THE UFC, BABY!

edit- Sorry, I forgot Charles had to pull out of the fight. That's a bummer.

This is a good card. Main event sucks but the other 13 fights are enough to get me interested. Main card will be violence. First three fights are all gonna be two guys standing & banging. And the co main is just gonna be violence. Maybe nunes (hopefully) gets a finish

Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 315 Points   |   Tied for 1664th

Thompson vs. Pereira
Stephen Thompson, DEC
What a dream of a fight. I really hope Pereira doesn't drag this to the ground tho, because since his loss to the canadian Tristan something on short notice, he's spinning and jumping a bit less, and mixing his striking with clinching and wrestling a bit more. It has been very effective, but a little less fun to watch.

Imavov vs. Curtis
Nassourdine Imavov, DEC
Great pairing between two talented fighters who underperformed a bit lately, let's see who deserves another shot at the top 10...

Daukaus vs. Rountree
Khalil Rountree, TKO, R1
Super strange match making. I have nothing against pairing someone coming from a win vs someone coming from a loss, but 3 fight losing streak (all brutal KO ) vs 3 fight winning streak (all impressive performances) is really weird and seems a bit unfair.
