Still, good for The Black Beast getting a spotlight, I suppose.

That's how much the UFC loves you Albany. The UFC's "New York obsession" was all about the city not the state.

I watch every card I can, even if it's a weak sauce card like this, because I enjoy watching fights, but it's really not gonna appeal to the casuals whatsoever.

To me, they would have been better off having Sterling vs Assuncao as the main event and have Lewis vs Abdurahimov co-main.
I just hope they can put together a good co-main that can offset this main event, should it be less than stellar.

The problem isn't the names per say. It's the fight that is the main event. Like Lewis vs Abdurahimov is alright for a 3 rounder and would fit on the main card. But as a five round heavyweight main event? It's a potential **** show on the levels of Kimbo vs Dada 5000. If both guys gas and it grinds on to be a 5 round decision fest, this will look so bad on the UFC's part. Especially since they have an important top 10 Bantamweight contenders fight on the same card in Assuncao vs Sterling. If Lewis or Abdurahimov can get the KO early and prevent this from being a grinding wrestlefest for 5 rounds, I will be okay with it. But seeing how Abdurahimov is now a decision machine and how Lewis can struggle with grapplers, color me skeptical of this fight being a fun heavyweight slugfest.

You'll have no disagreement from me on that. I think many people here (even a decent majority of the Conor fans on here) don't judge a card because the most popular names aren't on it. Again, what we are frustrated with is that, of all the fights they could have made the main event, they picked the one that is a borderline main card fight which has the highest probability of being an absolute disaster. And I say that as one of the few people on the forum who actually likes watching Heavyweight MMA and freakshow fights.
I like watching MMA, regardless of what named fighters are on the card, but making Assuncao vs Sterling the main event for Albany should have been a no brainer.
