I have no idea where tf the umar fight announcement is but I’d take that as the main event too; we’ve had worse fights headline a fight night 🤷‍♂️

Any rumours who Umar is supposed to fight? Are they rebooking the Cory Sandhagen fight?

Rozenstruik vs Gaziev as a main event, lord the UFC really needs to get rid of these trash apex main events.

We've without question had worse fight night main events than this before. Rozenstruik only winning 1 of his last 4 against a guy who's no longer with the promotion doesn't seem worthy of a "main event", but as Gaziev said himself, this fight all but certainly wont need championship rounds anyway. Whether it's a PPV or a fight night, a main event should be somewhat exciting. Gaziev and Rozenstruik have 25 combined wins and 23 of those are by finish. It doesn't get anymore exciting than that. While Rozenstruik hasn't been successful as of late, there isn't a single loss on his record that hasn't aged well. Of his 5 losses in the UFC, the only one that's currently not ranked in the top 7 is Ngannou, who obviously would be (if not the champion himself) if he was still in the promotion. 

As for Umar, if he's fighting someone unranked on this card I genuinely hope it's Montel Jackson. He's without question the best unranked bantamweight on the roster IMO. He is the best test out there for Umar if someone like Jonathan Martinez is unavailable. Not only that, but Jackson has legitimately earned a fight with a ranked opponent in his own right.

@Taiga 
totally agree. And this was suppose to be main event from beginning already? This one doesn't ring bell for me, just noticed this now.

Like really, since when UFC giving 5 round fights left and right like this? I got nothing against Gaziev, but guy has only one fight won in UFC (okay, two if we counting DWCS too). And Rozenstruik.. Yeah, guy haven't won any ranked fighters in years.

Bigi boi sucks but he’s headlined like 5 fight nights so it makes sense he’s doing it again here. Shamil is actually an interesting hw prospect as well so will be interesting to see how he looks

Umar vs Bekzat Almakhan, it’s crazy that Umar accepted this fight. Arguably a top 5 fighter in one of the toughest divisions in the sport is fighting a guy who’s making his debut. I thought we would see Umar next vs Sandhagen when Sandhagen is healthy but I guess not. I guess every top 15 guy was just ducking him like crazy. 

As for Almakhan, talk about getting throw to the wolves. I think he’s probably a future ranked contender and he’s faced some very solid talent at Octagon and UAE warriors but no one close to Umar. Most people see Umar as a future Champ, Crazy

Rozenstruik is always a knockout threat. Gaziev is undefeated and seems to be unbeatable. Very good matchup for both. I don’t see any problem with this being a main event at the apex. 

I would guess a majority of people complaining, don’t really watch anyways. 

Even if the heavyweight fight doesn’t interest you, Perez vs. Mokaev is worthy of a main event. Both guys are highly skilled fighters at the top of their division. This fight should be good and their are high stakes for both involved. Mokaev is trying to get a title shot after and Perez is trying to avoid a three fight losing streak.

In addition to those fights, there are other exciting fighters on this card like Schnell and Alvarez. There are heavy hitters like Pedro, Petrino and Ribeiro. Overall there is a bunch to like on this card in my opinion.

I agree, this card as a whole isn’t bad at all. For a botched Saudi card, this is actually quite good; the last time we had a botched event (song vs Gutierrez) it was one of the worst events of the year

You’re not wrong, Jessica Eye vs Cynthia Calvillo main event a card a few years back. UFC won’t top that level of suckiness for a main event ever
