Pitt vs PSU, OSU vs OU, Steelers vs Browns, Chocolatito rematch. I guess I'm skipping this card, especially with no title record on the line. I'm not a fan of wmma, so this card is really lacking a contender fight. I know rda vs magny could produce a title challenger, but I don't see that happening. I'm looking forward more to Pittsburgh fight night than this card.

@mbach

There is still the women's bantamweight title fight between Nunes and Shevchenko.  But yeah this card got screwed over hard when JDS popped for a banned substance and Borg dropped out due to illness. It went from being a great hardcore fan card to a barren fight card that isn't worth the price tag.

Some good fights and my confidence pool adds extra interest.

Top 3 Choices For


FOTN

#1: Nunes vs Shevchenko
#2: Stevens vs Melendez
#3: Tucker vs Glenn


POTN

#1: Nunes vs (Shevchenko)
#2: (Latifi) vs Pedro
#3: (Martins) vs Johnson 




Even with all the losses, especially Mighty Mouse making history, I think this is still a good card. Not worthy of the UFC 215 title, but some good matchups.  I only see two or three lopsided fights. Even then only one of them (Johnson vs Martins) is almost a guaranteed win for Martins. Unless he fell off during his layoff, and Johnson improved ten times his normal level of skill, then hes going to sleep.

I almost picked Bhullar with a late Tko, went back and forth on that one Tko to UD about 5x.

What a  KO by Johnson.  Can't believe that grazing shot was able to get Martins.  Crazy how those behind the ear shots work.

What an absolutely pathetic performance by Martins =/ I just now saw the main event is off,ugh,big Borg fan.I didn't study this as I usually do so my picks are a week or two old going by first glance/instinct.

Bhullar has looked so impressive in this fight.  He has some nice power in his hands and looks like he could be a real contender at HW.
