Yair vs Caceres headlining a fight? Anyone else WTF'ing?

[Rebel_LioN]

In Utah.

Is this true? That's coming out of left field. The match up nobody asked for or even thought about. Nobody is expecting Caceres to do much in the 145 division he won't even break into the top 10, no disrespect to the guy. Yair is not ready for a headliner he's a nice prospect. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Of course they are, that's a pretty good fight. But as a main event? Well... meh.

One of the must be Mormon. If not, they should both convert, at least for that weekend.

 

[Sonny Qc]

well they stack so many card lately, they are running out of talent a little bit.

+ a fight night card, in Utah.
that and the south Dakota card are not very good .

at least it's a fun fight

Absolutely genius matchmaking

 

[all caps]

Never heard of either of them

 

[Schoolboy Q]

This match is going to be extremely entertaining.

Yair is a raising star, gotta give him a platform sometime.

They are putting the LW title fight on Fightpass and have stacked all these other cards. We can't always get the biggest names to headline. Yair is pretty impressive though so at least we'll still get a fun fight.

It's a matter of prestige..

The Real OC vs Steve Bosse 2 on the next Canada card. Book it. Winner gets closer to the Bones/Cormier winner.

it's in Utah, nothing good happens to Utah outside of John Stockton being on the Jazz

 

[HwoarangStyle]

theyre trying to build stars.

Exactly my thoughts, but I won't complain too much. 200 and 202 are currently blowing my mind.

One word: Utah.

 

[usfbrah]

Bruce Leroy is an actual draw

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

mindset of fans is pretty predictable - you can tell most people dont really follow every fighter - but yair was on a card that lots of people saw, and he won via stoppage vs a TAM fighter - so time to get on that - same w bruce - he had a good fight, will prob lose his next one, so monetize that sht - ufc never overestimates fan intelligence or loyalty - ive stopped being surprised by the stuff people say - anything works for people if it sounds good and has the 'you're an idiot if you disagree' vibe to it

Absolutely! And I'll confess you something, mate: I'm rooting for Conor at 202.

 

[emog2]

I will always watch a Yair fight

Awesome fight, love it!
