Card still does need 1 or 2 big main card fights.

Oh yes of course ... I just said fan friendly, not necessarily a great or deep card ... I guess it depends on your taste.

A ****load of the fighters on the card are ones with bigger fan bases that tend to make for what the casual fan would call an interesting fight.

This card is already 50x better than UFC 186. I'm 100% thrilled with it barring injuries.

Tapology traffic (this looked way different before Conor McGregor was signed).  He obviously "moves the needle".

Because of McGregor, Ireland has realized what they have been doing in bars for centuries is considered a sport.

If they add the right 4 fights this could be one of the top 5 events of all-time. strikers delight too. My favorite kind of matches. this will be one PPV i will buy as long as Means vs Brown is on the main card. TM's was on fight pass last time so i hope they do make it free on the prelims b/c if it's on fox sports 1 i won't buy it. lol.

"If they add the right 4 fights"


In theory, adding "the right 4 fights" to a main card with a ridiculously hyped up main event would make any main card one of the top five UFC events of all-time.

Let's just slap Jacare vs Romero on this card and call it a day.

^Because the statement was redundant. Adding "the right" four fights to any main card with a hyped up main event would make that event one of the greatest ever obviously, it's a statement that wasn't needed to be said.

And you should know all about statements that shouldn't need to be said, you cringeworthy manchild.

^Now why would I put one of your favorite bands as my avatar? You're clearly missing an avatar, so maybe you should just put one of those artists as your own avatar instead.

Come to think of it, I am due for an avatar change.
