Yo who the **** is everyone beneath the co-main event?
I have the vague idea that Thomas Almeida is a pretty good prospect, and I've heard some names here and there, but this looks ridiculous.

Exactly, outside of main and co main, I've heard of Dustin Ortiz, Thomas Almedia and Gian Villante. Don't know any of the others.

Extremely top heavy card. The rest of the card looks like a prelim fight for a fight on FS1. The UFC Fight Night this weekend has a deeper card than this one. Hell Michael Johnson is fighting on the prelim card this weekend.
They should've bumped the VanZant fight, the Usman/Meek fight and the Michael Johnson fight. Bam those could've been the 3 other fights to fill out the main card. Not great fights, but at least some name recognition for the casual UFC fan. Stevens/Choi and Hall/Vitor are good enough for a Fight Night.

It's really testing the (probably correct?) theory that people buy cards for the main/co-main, without even the excuse of being in Australia.

I find it funny how Ngannou is easier to understand than Stipe.

Skip to 4:55. And it was mostly a joke. Have you heard him on the Media Call? Dude mumbles and you can barely understand what he says.

I consume a lot of audio content. Therefore I usually listen at 1.7x speed. Sometimes when a non-native speaker comes on, I'll lower to 1.5 or so.
I have to do 1.2-1.3x for Stipe when he's on Rogan or Ariel's show.

Steep will tear him apart
He's superior to Ngannou in every aspect except raw strenght perhaps.

Will be interesting to see if Ngannou can take a shot or two and if so how he reacts.

NP its been a gamechanger for me. My advice would be to work yourself up. I tried to go right to 1.5x and I couldn't follow it was too alien. So I started at 1.2-1.3 then worked my way up to 1.5 Now I do 1.7 on most stuff. Honestly listening at normal speed is super awkward for me now, sounds like voices are distorted on normal lol. My wife can't understand a word they say 1.7x though she says it reminds her of watching a movie in fast forward.
