Maybe it will turn you into a boxing fan and you'll never watch UFC again.

 

[potemkin723]

I'm excited for the upcoming Bellator NYC, but UFC no.

I'm just looking forward to Romero vs. Whittaker match..

DC will beat Jones this time, but not excited.

I'm sure you won't be watching that fight. You are above that sort of thing.

Its free here so prolly. I'll go to a pub and watch.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Bellator card is actually really good.

I'm not excited compared to the first time (my all time most excited) and I hate rematches more than just about anybody but....
This one excites me because its not an instant playback and there has been a lot of time and the champ has possibly got worse in the meantime.
Plus their pickering makes me laugh everytime so hopefully there will be more of it leading up to the fight.
Picturing Jon getting taken down and beaten up is must see tv for me and is Jones wins I can't picture DC not retiring.

 

[DanaWhitesButler]

The card with Stipe vs JDS and Joanna vs Andrade was great

 

[HuskySamoan]

Maybe it will turn you into a boxing fan and you'll never watch UFC again.

I've been a boxing fan since day 1 and right now it's capturing my interest more than mixed martial arts for the first time in a decade or so. I really feel the UFC has failed on so many levels lately, I'm disheartened about MMA.

 

[RedCansLoom16]

Mentioned a James Gallagher fight but not Gunny/Ponz, Almeida/Rivera, Bermudez/Elkins, Pettis/Moreno, Ortega/Moicano, Lamas/Knight etc?

TS be right.. we're about to watch some good shit

 

[Meathead Jock]

The card with Stipe vs JDS and Joanna vs Andrade was great

You are right, I did enjoy that card. But for some reason I wasn't hyped for it entering the night.
Maybe not enough trash talk storylines leading into it?

I agree with this 100. But I think the MoneyMac fight is shit

 

[VanMMA]

'terrible MMA'.

 

[Meathead Jock]

Mentioned a James Gallagher fight but not Gunny/Ponz, Almeida/Rivera, Bermudez/Elkins, Pettis/Moreno, Ortega/Moicano, Lamas/Knight etc?

Only because Gallagher has managed to get me interested in watching in hope of his mouth getting shut. I think he sucks so I shouldn't of included it in a full list for others, but the fight has me more interested than the fights you listed above featuring more talented guys.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Total shit. No interest in Conor vs Floyd, not even in the build up. I'm talking real boxing like LHW with Ward and Stevenson while guys like Beterbiev, Bivol, Gvozdyk, Smith Jr etc coming up or Cruiserweight with Usyk at the top of the division and guys like Gassiev, Bellew, Laidis in line. Canelo vs GGG, Keith Thurman doing his thing, Deontay and Joshua making shit interesting at Heavyweight with Fury possibly coming back. You got Vasyl, Crawford, Rigondeaux, Chocolatito all doing their things and tons of interesting fights for them barring politics allow for the best to fight the best in boxing, we got a lot to look forward to.
