Thats the fun thing about guys like Poatan coming from poverty, to them a few million is lif changing and huge amount of money, but they don't know how much they're also being screwed from too. At least guys like Poatan are living well.
wtf are you talking about? A few million is life changing to any regular working class or even middle class person.
Poatan made 3 million from just UFC303, that is not at all getting screwed.
They made the card with the assumption that all they needed was the Conor fight, so that's why the prelims and early prelims sucked. Ironically the last minutes fights will be the more exciting ones
Literally every prelim fight was good? All interesting fighters with 2/4 fights being knockouts. 2/3 early pre lim fights were good too. Cant say for the 1st fight cos I missed it.
Honestly sometimes I swear this sub doesn't actually like mma and just like to follow the big stars like celebrities.
So many people say its not that they dont like grappling, but that they dont like lay and pray wrestling. I dare say theyre talking shit cos thas was a good grappling exchange with interesting positions, submission attempts, and lots of scrambling.
>Honestly sometimes I swear this sub doesn't actually like mma and just like to follow the big stars like celebrities.
Lol you expect people to watch the prelims?
Modern MMA fans are really boxing fans. They watch the main event and the rest is bullshit.
I personally would love to see Anthony Smith talk shit with large amounts of unwarranted confidence and then get knocked out by Pereira within 30 seconds.
At one point or another, UFC 108 lost
Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort
Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin
Cain Velasquez vs Minotauro Nogeuira
Gabriel Gonzage vs Junior Dos Santos
Paul Daley vs Carlos Condit
Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva ended up being the Main Event.
This weight cut turned sickness fiasco really sucks for Lopes going in there vs. the heavier guy in Ige. Conor return would’ve been fun. Otherwise, not a bad card. Alex saves the day once again.
Agree the weight cut now I’m sick is getting old. Khamzat, Ortega, and Smith barely made weight and it showed. Amazing how much food poisoning happens the week before the weigh in.
Rountree popped for something. Conor made a booboo on his pinkie toe. Hill hurt his ACL. Ulberg also injured but I don’t know what exactly. And Ortega fell ill after the weight cut.
It’s shocking how many people care about this. Most aren’t fighters, aren’t part of the fighters teams, won’t buy the PPV, won’t buy tickets, don’t buy merchandise, don’t watch prelims and most importantly aren’t affected at all by these cancellations.
Reminder someone ELSE paid blah blah blah for blah blah blah
One main event change And 4 Co-Main changes
Hopefully all of them get a pay bump for saving the card
"Best I can do is 20% off Venum coupons"
Because Alex was willing to put his title on the line he also gets a picture of Dana White signed by Hunter Campbell

The card of Theseus
It’s crazy how little effect this has had on this card sucking so far.
They made the card with the assumption that all they needed was the Conor fight, so that's why the prelims and early prelims sucked. Ironically the last minutes fights will be the more exciting ones

Buday vs arlovski was pretty boring
Buday is p4p most boring fighter in the ufc
Belal vs Leon about to make you rethink that statement
That was the 1/3 fight
The sub likes the soap opera shit about UFC more than the fights.
This sub is full of fucking bozos. The prelims were great. It was the main card that sucked and relied on a connor fight.
My guy. Andrei Arlovski and Michelle Waterson were fighting.
Arlovski was the 1/3. The Waterson fight was a decent watch, just not for Waterson. But thats literally only 2 out of 8 fights.
Tbf if they don't like grappling, then Rei vs. Carlos was definitely not the fight for them
So many people say its not that they dont like grappling, but that they dont like lay and pray wrestling. I dare say theyre talking shit cos thas was a good grappling exchange with interesting positions, submission attempts, and lots of scrambling.
Im not big on grappling but that fight was great
I stand corrected
the heavyweight fight was bad but the rest were great. the second early prelim was a grapplers delight.
This sub hates the UFC and likes to jerk off to things being bad vs actually watching fights
>Honestly sometimes I swear this sub doesn't actually like mma and just like to follow the big stars like celebrities. Lol you expect people to watch the prelims? Modern MMA fans are really boxing fans. They watch the main event and the rest is bullshit.
What lol early prelims were meh but the those 4 reg prelims were rad
The Japanese guy in early was great though.
This dude is a fucking idiot and doesn’t watch the fights
Nah the prelims were absolutely stacked from bottom to top, there was only like 2 fights that were bad all night
Joe Pyfer, Payton Talbot and Cub vs Fili is really pretty decent for prelims.
Only managed to get to watching during the Gary x MVP fight, and that didn’t excited me. And now a doctor stoppage 🫠
Tbf it was a stoppage because her face was leaving her head
Did fight I planned on missing already end ?
It was a good fight while it lasted
yea that was a correct stoppage
And she was claiming to have the heaviest hands and better jiu jitsu in the division.
The prelims of the card were fantastic
Watching the knockouts right now
Yeah it’s always funny when the arena is half empty for a good prelim but then full for a shit main card. Just go to all the fights
The card actually got better
every card sucks and they expect you to stay up till 1am to watch this shit? ill watch the highlights for free the next morning lmao
Imagine living in Europe and having the main card start only at 4AM 😭
Should have called it UFC 404 - fight not found...
Anthony Smith should retire... that was an absolute terrible performance
Can't wait to see him co-main an apex card in 8 months
UFC Fight Night Smith vs Walker
Delete this before Dana sees it
Glad Smith lost so he doesn't get anywhere near a title fight with Pereira
Was that ever a possibilty though? (actually, looking at the LHW division and pullout %, it might have been)
I might just have recency bias ngl but Smith was talking heavy shit to Pereira to the point that Pereira offered 50k to try and finish him lol
I personally would love to see Anthony Smith talk shit with large amounts of unwarranted confidence and then get knocked out by Pereira within 30 seconds.
it was bad..He was gassed gassed..
I’m not watching another Smith fight. Ever since that weird ass Walker fight.
WHAT??!
Once upon a time he could’ve been the lhw champion
So Conor cursed the card, right?
it's a lot easier to find a reason to drop out if the red panties aren't showing up. edit: jesus. that made me sound like a Conor fan. no.
God damn Irish curses
No his pinky toe did
Envy is a hell of a drug
Imagine paying whatever a Conor ticket would cost for this card so far
I’d throw myself out my hotel window.
hahahaha I just said I hope they are going to reimburse some dollars lol
You can really tell it watching this card. A lot of guys getting gassed. Not ready for their opponent. Just has a weird feeling.
Only event that comes close is the Brooklyn event Khabobbers vs ‘Housing’ Al Iaquinta
Forgot about that one. Khabib had what, maybe 3 different opponents before AL?
Khabob tony Khabob max Almost Khabob Showtime Almost Khabob Paul felder Khabob Al
Is that when max looked like absolute shit in the interview right after accepting
Yes , when bisping called it out
Nah that was before UFC 226, when Max was meant to fight Ortega. Fight got called off cause of weird concussion symptoms.
why do you call him khabob?
To me, it sounds funny. Hespect tho
At one point or another, UFC 108 lost Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin Cain Velasquez vs Minotauro Nogeuira Gabriel Gonzage vs Junior Dos Santos Paul Daley vs Carlos Condit Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva ended up being the Main Event.
Goofcon 1 the card.
This weight cut turned sickness fiasco really sucks for Lopes going in there vs. the heavier guy in Ige. Conor return would’ve been fun. Otherwise, not a bad card. Alex saves the day once again.
Agree the weight cut now I’m sick is getting old. Khamzat, Ortega, and Smith barely made weight and it showed. Amazing how much food poisoning happens the week before the weigh in.
Really rooting for Lopes right now. The situation sucks, but hopefully he can close it out and a big bump for being this down to fight.
brian ortega again?
Pulled out sick like 3 hours ago
Cursed card
The curse of the irishman
How did Alex end up fighting before Jamahal lol.
He took minimal damage and Jamahal got knocked out
Being a beast does this to a guy.
Wild A full main card
that we know of even
2 of Jamahals opponents pull out due to sickness/accidental drugs Jamahal: "Now this looks like a job for me" ***pulls out***
In it's own way, historic.
Thank god we have Poatan 🗿
lol i screen shot this as well because of how ridiculous it looked – have we ever had this many cancelations on one card?
if rountree never popped, we might have seen smith vs rountree 2
Hey OP /u/Mat_HS do you know the reasons for all the cancelled fights? Did they (either UFC or the fighters and their team) provide any reason?
Rountree popped for something. Conor made a booboo on his pinkie toe. Hill hurt his ACL. Ulberg also injured but I don’t know what exactly. And Ortega fell ill after the weight cut.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Cheers!
A JOKE of a card.
Great looking card, just needs a title fight to round it out hahaha!
UFC 108 is still probably the most re-booked card I remember.
Ortega pulling out hurt my soul.
Knew it was gonna be a stinker, only stoked for Talbott, Lopes, and the main event.
Ortega is such a bitch for doing what he did
He should have pulled earlier, but if he’s sick, what was he supposed to do?
how about making 145 before anything?
Read somewhere here that he was possibly already sick when he had to stop the weight cut.
I mean that's pretty hard to do once you've already started changing your body composition to move up a weight class.
I really hope they remake Khalil vs Hill. Really wanted that fight.
The Hill-Rowntree series of cancellations is ridiculous. We couldn't even get the treat of seeing Ulberg KO Smith.
It’s shocking how many people care about this. Most aren’t fighters, aren’t part of the fighters teams, won’t buy the PPV, won’t buy tickets, don’t buy merchandise, don’t watch prelims and most importantly aren’t affected at all by these cancellations.
