It's still easy to just watch the PPVs with people you know on them, you don't have to watch fight nights headlined by Artem Lobov

Yea it's just that as I was slowly watching less and less UFC it seemed to me that even the big cards were lacking compelling/big fights. Like most big cards have about two very interesting matchups whereas before you'd have about five, and most likely, more than that. It becomes less and less desirable to block out time on the weekend to watch Mousasi Weidman or whatever when the rest of the card sucks, i can't sell my casual mma watching fans on it, and I'm busy with life on the weekends.

I think the big PPVs have been better than ever the past year or two they stack them so that there's even guys I've heard of and care about on the pre prelims. The difference is there's more fighters so it's harder to keep track of the decent midranked guys.

Mighty Mouse should say he'll fight Dillashaw, not ask for more money on the contract but say he'll only do it if he's the next Conor PPV co-main.

That way he doesn't have to fight Dillashaw :v:

are they talking 125 or 135

if its 125 lmao at holding the 135 belt up directly after re-claiming it, i doubt anyone will care if the 125 belt sits for a minute

Pretty sure TJ said he wanted it to be for the 125 belt.

And gently caress it, he could still defend the 135 belt quicker than Cody did, nearly 11 months later.

It's a cool matchup but it should happen at 135 if anything, I feel MM has earned a shot at being a two division champ more than Dillashaw has

Can we confront the potential hilarity that is Andrei Arlovski maybe getting knocked out this weekend by a man named Junior Baby?

Arvloski is one of the last of his era still competing at the UFC level. Is this going to be a retirement fight?

So will this mark his glorious ascent to nearly getting to fight for the belt, again?

I love old Arvloski but Jesus that guy can't have a life expectancy past fifty.

he has to pay for the years he took off cabbages life breaking his skull while joe rogan complains about the stoppage. rewatched it cuz its my fondest arlovski memory, watching his laser punches. He pretty much headhunts the whole time but it looks vitor like, and at hw it was kind of amazing for the time.

My personal favorite was the Buentello fight. At most angles it looks like he just hunches forward and then Buentello flops across his back knocked the gently caress out. The crowd erupts in boos while Buentello protests the stoppage despite struggling to maintain his balance.

Then the replay shows Arlovski landing a lightning overhand right and the crowd goes from boos to cheers. Classic.

I like Wonderboy but it might be better for him to lose this one since he’s not getting anywhere near the title while Woodley’s still champ. Good on him for taking on a dangerous prospect, though.
