Non-threadworthy UFC Events Thread

It was a decent night of fights some good finishes.

I'm just getting back to reality... yeah I saw that barber had a medical issue during the event.

She looked awful at weigh ins so I'm a bit worried about her.

Though I didn't catch the fights, I don't think I missed much lol this weekend I will for sure be watch the O'Malley and Dvalashvili fight.

Spoiler but not spoiler - merab is going to dominate again in my opinion. Suga cannot stop the take dowsn I think

[Dupp]

There’s just no need to run this fight back. Terrible main event

[Dupp]

Pointless fight

[RamonSessions7]

Horrible main event. Ridiculously unnecessary rematch and a sandhagen title shot would just be more of the same. Bad matchmaking

[Dupp]

I actually think sandhagen matches up well. Merab won’t be able to hold him down.

Probably similar to the umar fight with merabs gas tank being the difference.


Umar needs to actually fight because outside of that matchup what is there for Merab?

Nunes will CRUSH Harrison ill bet $100 on it.

[Clav]

Didn't make a thread for it, but total let down in matchmaking.

UFC pushes Sean a lot, I get it. Trying to pump the juice on what, frankly, has been a let-down year for them. It wasn't competitive, even on the feet Merab looked good, but he's way better once he got advantage on the ground.

Sandhagen/Merab is a good fight for the fact that Corey can hang on the ground, but I'm still not convinced Cory wins. At least, he deserves a title shot after a long time near the top.

W-BW - Pena has declared she wants winner of the Harrison/Nunes fight, and the fight is great, but that call out is a no-go for me, sister. Pena has the fakest resume on the roster and should fight any, I mean, any of the contenders at W-Bantamweight [except Raquel] because she hasn't and somehow avoided that case for too long.

[Dupp]

Peña has gotten all her opportunities in the cage with her mouth not her skill. Makes sense for her to try again.


She won’t get it this time though but the division sucks.

prelims start in 1hr! Main Card is on ESPN starting at 10PM EDT/7PDT.

I'm 5/10 excited about this card. Would have appreciate one more "attractive" main card fight from any number of ranked fighters, this just feels lacking. However it is with a live-audience in Atlanta, so I'm optimistic the crowd will improve the ambiance.

early prelims will be some tests of the deeper roster. One to watch for me is Wellmaker / Moutinho. Wellmaker is a solid striker and already has a KO to his resume in the UFC, Moutinho is returning after a bit away from UFC, fighting for his career. Sounds like a knockout is loading....

Longtime UFC watchers can get another Court McGee fight, though I picked Chiesa over him. Also Ricky Simon is on this card. Paul Craig/Rodolfo Bellato looks good, but Craig seems to still be a 1-trick grappler w/o a chin anymore. Might be a quick fight. the other bouts are still okay... but Menifield, Brundage, Oumar Sy, Cody Garbrandt... a lot of veterans that need wins to stay relevant in the divisions.

For the main-card, I'm only really interested in the co-main and main events.

Thug Rose v Maverick --- Namajunas is my pick, way more well rounded. Though they used to train together so could be a decision if they don't want to, like, kill each other. Maverick has impressed recently but Rose is usually pretty hard to deal with for the up and coming fighters.

Meanwhile Buckley is my pick over Usman - Kamaru has been kind of inactive, or not that impressive to me for a few years now. Though I think we have to credit him for stifling Khamzat during that fight they had [still a Usman Maj. Dec loss]. Buckley very well could be controlled on the ground so that's kind of the metric I'm looking for here. If Buckley can just strike and not be forced to wrassle, this is his to win. Usman needs to rack up control time & I don't see him being that fast on the feet as he was never a devastating striker to begin with.

Enjoy!
