Yancy just pulled. And so it begins. The Wrath of the MMA Gods is unforgiving.

That stinks, but on paper this is still the best fight card of the year so far. And the last card headlined by Stipe was awesome. 225 turned out to be the best so far, but the level that the fighters at the top of this card are at equals 225.

If Felder replaces Meideros like they're talking about, then the card gets even better imo. I feel like that's a better matchup for Perry, and both guys are going to just go to war. As long as everyone else makes weight and stays healthy, this is probably the best card the UFC has put on since 217. Maybe one of the best ever.

Yeah that's a nasty fight. Felder vs Perry would be a banger. And if the main/co-main stay together, that's as good a 1-2 as it gets. That's up there with 217/205/194/100/92 as far as the main/co-main for me at least. There are a few others, but those are the first to come to mind. That's purely out of anticipation for the fight/skill/ranking of the fighters involved.

Looks like Felder is indeed fighting Mike Perry. Crazy. I had Mike via Murder vs Yancy. Medeiros was coming back way too soon. Now I have no idea. Felder could piece up Perry like Jouban did. Hope its a war though. Idk how Perry can win other than KO. Good luck knocking Paul Felder out.

They will bang and bang, how can anyone NOT like that fight! I’ve been WAITING to see Felder fight again ! I hope that happens. I’m excited about almost every fight on that card.. maybe not the whitmire fight. But every other fight on that card is interesting to me..

I actually think that this is a much better fight for Perry than Meideros, just because Meideros is so long and could keep him on the end of his punches. With Felder he can create a brawl, and I think we can all agree that Perry more than likely has the power advantage.

Great card!! Except for Gokhan Saki or should I say Gokhan "sloppy". Should be Prelim fight ,not PPV portion. But rest of the card awesome.

Man, Ortega is a scary dude. Just doesn't seem to feel any pressure whatsoever and is basically the most relaxed fighter I've ever seen. Holloway will have his hands full for sure. Still no idea how the fight plays out, but I'm pumped as **** for it.

Hopefully everyone is sacrificing a goat to the gods of chaos and being suitably appeased they allow this fight to transpire.

Randomly saw Ortega at the sprouts out in Torrance a few weeks back, he was with people so I didn't wanna bother him but he seemed completely chilled

Still a great card, but man oh man does it hurt losing the co-main.

I seriously believe in dumping all your money into DC leading up to the fight @ +230 odds. He wins this fight decisively and it'll be a great pay day
