Anny prediction on how many buys there will be?

low. Very low. It's an incredibly overpriced card at plus 60 bucks with no big names other than Justino. It will hover around 100k buys.

Probably as many buys as the last one, 130 - 150k range. 

I don't really understand the decision to have Cyborg step in and fight. This card could have been a really good Fight Night that would have done good ratings on FS1. 

They could have done Cyborg - Nunes in Rio which would probably not have done all that well but would
certainly be a more competitive fight and sell more PPV's.

Now they're stuck with two PPV cards that are going to bomb.

At least UFC 223 is going to be sick, can't wait for that one.

It just pisses me off that Edgar/Ortega isn't the ME. Makes zero sense for a Cyborg gimme to be 5 rounds over the MUCH better and more competitive fight.

Close round. Milstead didn't land as much as he did in the first, but Johnson isn't doing much of significance in the clinch.

Close fight. Johnnson fought smarter in the last round which gave him the fight.

Doesn't like going to the judges yet he has in his last four fights.

what was he, 2/12 takedown.  Yeah, his wrestling is sooo good.  Lol.  Must remember to put money on the next guy he fights.

Interesting to see how Bryan Caraway comes back after getting cucked like that. Losing a nice piece of ass like Miesha Tate must f*cking suck.

Caraway is so much better on the ground. If he gets him down a little earlier in the second he could finish him.

19-9 Caraway
