    Addicted to attention. More worried about that than fighting. Why would we get a rematch. He got embarrassed by Pereira. Dude is a bitch

    He’s getting views/clicks but he looks so stupid from it. I don’t see how he ever comes back from it unless of course he beat Jiri but even then I don’t see him ever beating Poatan.

    He’s so dumb. I doubt he even beats Jiri at this point

    Garry? Pray he loses for our sanity.

    Volkov can wrestle a little so I worry about Gane if Volkov is able to close the distance.

    Just looked at the odds, -400 Zero Defense Shavkat is absurd.

    I get he's annoying I just don't like Shavkat's style of fighting, it's going to make for a decision loss.

    This card is deep as hell. IMO.

    and it’s a solid mix of vets and prospects which is nice. Feels like UFC alternates between cards that are full of fighters 5-10 years past their prime and cards full of fighters who may never have a prime.

    Yeah this is a nice card but I’m getting to the point of I just don’t care unless the main event is a banger on paper.

    The Eastern Euros are going to end UFC eventually lol.

    I do not think Asakura has a shot, so hopefully Pantoja does something cool on his way to victory. And I suppose Asakura does have a punchers chance, he has good power, but if Moreno, Royval, Erceg couldn't knock out Pantoja i don't think the newbie will.

    I feel like I’m the opposite now. I watch enough mma that I expect the main card to be intriguing enough matchups but I really judge a card by how many people I want to watch on the prelims

    Prelims would actually be a solid free ESPN+ card.

    Aljo on that spot of the card while Bryce Mitchell’s dumbass gets a PPV match is a bit disrespectful imo.

    Yeah, this has always been a talking point that people constantly get wrong. Uriah Faber was one of the first guys to figure out that you get more exposure headlining the prelims vs being first few fights on the main card.

    If it was the main prelim, I totally understand. That spot on this card is lame asf.

    ESPN’s Nielsen number would be the exact same if the Aljo and Bryce matches were switched. It’s also another lame ploy by UFC trying to show the audience that Bryce Mitchell is a legit contender like Bo Nickal.
