I don't care about much on the prelims but that main card is pretty bad ass.

Fuck it though. Needs less Woodley and more Diaz Brothers.

Is that the order of the main card? Hunt / Overeem should be 3rd fight, not before Vannata (although I love his head movement / slip) and Rashad (who's been out for almost a year).

Not to be a downer but other than last 3 fights, everything is very bleh~

Weren't the new owners trying to make this into some super card? what happened?

And everything when downhill from there.

Rogan said this event, in Stockton, with Nick & Nate in the main & co-main, would have done $2+ million PPV buys. I agree with him. That's $60+ million for WME just in PPV money....probably a $100+ million revenue event. They could have paid Nick & Nate $10 million each and still made out like bandits. Why they didn't...who knows.

Either the Diaz Bros. wanted mad money, or that WME-IMG factor kicked in where they don't care what anyone else thinks.

Tyron Woodley vs Stephen Thompson - for welterweight title
Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov - for interim lightweight title
Rashad Evans vs Daniel Kelly
David Teymur vs Lando Vannata
Mark Hunt vs Alistair Overeem
Yeah...these right here. Good card.

The main card is cool and all but honestly I'd pay the $60 just for Tony/Khabib. There is nothing about this fight that I don't like.

Actually... I don't like that one of them will most likely lose. Otherwise this is about as good as a matchup can be in MMA.

I'll be out of town and visiting my parent's this weekend so I won't be posting during the fights but we'll definitely be watching them. I've gotten them hooked over the years. They brought me up watching boxing when it was fantastic and readily available so I've transitioned them to MMA. My mom isn't happy unless someone is bleeding or choked out.

Sucks watching all of these embedded's, only to have Khabib drop out.
