Yea. There's a few hardcore fans that love Ryan Hall because of his jiu jitsu accomplishments, wrestling that drunk guy in the restaurant video, his over all nonchalant demeanor and his tourette syndrome. But most of that went away with his fighting style. I just want a UFC fighter with Tourette syndrome that curses and drops racial slurs.

I'm kinda shocked of the bout order of this card,  I swear they put the most boring fights on the main card. I'm not talking about Wonderboy vs Burns or Conor vs Dustin because they are banger, I'm talking about; Sean O'Malley against another outmatch opponent, I want to see the best fight the best, Not lion feeding because that lame. Yana Kuniskya vs Irene Aldana, Has Yana ever had a fun fight?Wish they had a better WMMA fight for diversty, But atlest it better then Jessica Eye. And Tai Tuvisa vs Greg Hardy,Just a heavyweight fight ,but people might be intreasted for the chance of seeing the Women beater get knock out again.

And this is weird when you see some of the prelims like Niko Price vs Miceal Perrira, Do I even have to explain, Kevin Lee vs Sean Brady, Have Lee ever had a boring fight and Sean a big prospect, Driscus Du Plissis is fighting and last and not lease Ryan Hall vs Illia Topira, Ryan Hall is the evolve form of Chase Hooper so either he get smashed or get a meme leglock and Topira is a legit prospect.

I think it dumb to not use the name of Conor Mcgregor to put fun fights or promote prospects, Even my Nan know who Conor Mcgregor is, And UFC never trys to take advantage of casual watching the sport and it confuses me, Don't even need big name as you paying for Conor, Just put fun fight or prospect on main card

Sorry but Greg Hardy should be no where near a PPV main card

Irene Aldana and silly blonde belong no where NEAR main card.

Sean O'Malley is being fed the best chance for him to win opponents, he's not likeable at all. Stupid almost. He does not deserve a main card just cause he's gonna starch a hand picked opponent.

Pereira and Price should be on the main, Kevin Lee, and Griffin vs. Condit.

Overall there's some solid fights buried in the prelims on this card - some of the best fights on the entire thing lmao. Greg Hardy being on a PPV main card is hilarious everytime, I love Irene Aldana but that fight's not super compelling, and Sean O'Malley is one of the more overrated guys going currently. He keeps getting handpicked opponents but they're making sure it's handpicked opponents people have actually at least heard of. It's making people believe he's better than he has, and I still have no interest in watching him fight - let alone on a PPV.

As I'm not from the us what is the actual situation with Greg hardy and his woman beating rumours? Did he beat his case? How come people still accusing him? And also wasn't Rachael ostovich the one involved as I remember she was on the card of his ufc debut 

Any Americans care to fill me in

Greg Hardy is a *************. Always has been. He's like one of those ppl that just can't figure **** out, no matter how many times you beat the **** out of a woman and get charged for it over and over.

What blows my mind is they are still pushing him on us, does this guy have fans!? I'm pretty sure nobody likes him. He has no charisma, he has no prior MMA training, he's not exciting, nothing. Same as O'Malley but O'Malley never beat up girls.

Literally nobody likes Greg Hardy, I don't understand why they keep him around and pay him so damn much, and always put him on main cards. His fights aren't entertaining and his interviews are painfully boring and trite, typical football self-affirmation ********. I hope Tuivasa hits him so hard he ****s his pants and dies

People tune in with hopes of watching him get beat up. That's good enough for Dana to keep him around.

Poirier vs. McGregor III
Conor McGregor, TKO, R3
IMO all Conor has to do in this trilogy is not get his calf smeshed again and he'd win. Without that leg damage Conor would've made his way to victory in that fight, he just got his calf toasted then that was all she wrote, couldn't put is weight on it anymore to load up on his strikes or be mobile defensively.
