______________________________________________________

Please keep in mind that the bout order for this event has not yet been confirmed and the one above is purely my prediction. With that being said, what do you guys think of this card? Awesome event imo for a Brazil Fight Night. The Main Card is stacked and the prelims have some underrated matchups as well. I'm looking forward to seeing Vicente Luque, Johnny Walker and the Main and Co-Main the most. I know a lot of you guys don't like WMMA either but Livia Souza, Sarah Frota, and Taila Santos are three killers you should watch.

If I had to rate this card (keeping scaling in mind) I rate this card an 8/10. What do you guys think?

Too many Brazillians

6,5/10

It's in fucking Brazil Sonny

8/10 as well That's a sick card. It got stacked equivalent to a Fox card. No one said this, but I was under the impression that big ESPN cards would be the equivalent of big Fox cards, and ESPN+ cards would be the equivalent of Fight Pass cards.

That whole main card is intriguing. The WMMA isn't that great(on the main card), but I love me some Alexa Grasso so I'll watch. Diaper boy is back, Khabib's cousin, and Thiago Alves. Should be fun.

 

[FWRGeorgie]

7, pushing an 8. Lot of exciting fights and some upcoming prospects

 

[Croton]

7/10
Aldo vs Moicano should be the main event.

 

[Arqueto]

j/k it's a 7 from me Cotton.

Honestly an incredible card. My rating for each fight on a scale out of 10, with 1 being a pointless trash fight, and 10 being incredible.

Can't wait for Ledet to sleep Johnny Walker. That hype train is going to crash and burn.

 

[Arkridge]

7/10
Aldo vs Moicano should be the main event.

I don't think the UFC intended for it to be that way. Aldo/Moicano was originally supposed to take place at UFC 233. When the event got cancelled, it only made sense to put the fight in Brazil, but the card already had a Main Event.

 

[Psychedelic]

Could've been better, could've been worse.

6.something/10

 

[Flex Plexico]

Dang

when will they stop lobbing Luque these softballs?

 

[Fatback96]

This card is some fire, at least for now.

 

[Arkridge]

Dang

when will they stop lobbing Luque these softballs?

This is my one complaint. The guy has undoubtedly earned a top 15 fight. He's all excitement.

reminds me of the Zaleski dos Santos situation

I get building guys up nice and slowly, but jeez

They've both earned top 10 fights at this point let alone top 15

I like Ramos too. I think he can be a contender.

WW is too stacked. Much like 155 lbs, each division has many guys on 4/5/6 fight winning streaks and still aren't ranked.

The main reason why 165/175 in place of 170 is more necessary than most fans want to believe.

 

[Failwani]

When you Google Sarah Frota, the first auto-complete is Sarah Frota Man

10/10 for the LHW GOAT Johnny Walker
