Change my mind: 301's main event is a prelim fight

[Dana's Conscience]

And not even one that you'd know was on the card until fight week

 

[TadDunbar]

Yo momma is a prelim fight

 

[Hdfi]

A title fight is a prelim fight? Gtfoh

 

[KarateYeah]

Why would I change your mind if it was fucking you who booked it?

 

[Presence]

early prelim apex title fight

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

I don't wanna change your mind you're not worth the spit

 

[El Fernas]

Kind of agree, if those two werent fighting for a belt i wouldnt be surprised finding it on the prelims or any random spot on the card other than the main event probably, maybe Apex Main Event, i dont like Pantoja much and i dont know the other guy.

Nah, it’s not a prelim. It’s a free ESPN event. I think they’re contractually obligated to make title fights PPV.

On one end, smart move to bring it to Brazil to get gate revenue. But my conspiracy theorist mind feels like this was an attempt to make a point to the fighters on the card that they don’t deserve higher contracts because of the low ppv numbers.

 

[Lights Out 101]

Casual opinion only agreed upon by other casuals. Pantoja and Astroboy are elite, high level fighters.

 

[flektarn]

Pantoja brings it.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

There's a UFC card on tonight?

I know, but they're too little.

UFC Noche was a Fight Night with a title fight main event: Valentino vs Grasso

If you compare to 299-300, its early prelims

 

[The XL]

This card on paper is awful for a ppv. One of the worst ever

Lmfaooooooo daaaaamn. Thanks for that info. That’s hilarious,

So I guess my conspiracy theory is this:


They knew that their money would be made from the Brazilian gate and not the PPV. And they’re using the low PPV numbers to keep fighter pay low because they couldn’t draw the numbers. Lmao,

Yeah I think the fighters and ufc know this isn't going to be a 'big' PPV, but cool for the Brazilian fans to get a title fight

Mma might not be the sport for you

 

[RockyLockridge]

Pantoja is maybe the most proven male champion in the UFC today.

any fight involving him is a PPV worthy fight.

 

[TestosterOWN]

This entire card blows.
