Violence, 100% Guaranteed.

Sick match-up.

good fight

dp should win

223 is the holloway/Edgar card? still needs another solid main card fight

 

[TCE]

Good ass fight!!!

Hard to pick a winner in this one. Love both guys.

Early FOTY candidate on paper.

Khabib vs Ferguson is 223

Holloway vs Edgar is 222.

Khabib vs Ferguson is 223

I don't wanna complain about a fight like this but why not Eddie for FUCK SAKE
They have unsettled business, both coming off great wins and they give him the guy Eddie just KO'd and gave a serious concussion

223 is card of the year, but this reeks of replacement fight insurance.

On one card they're going to give us:

Tony vs Khabib for the real belt
Rose vs JJ 2
Gaethje vs Poirier
Iaquinta vs Felder
Kowalkiewicz vs Herrig
Taisumov vs Dunham

Fantastic start to the card.

Just Bleed!!!!

Holy shit this is the definition of a just bleed fight. Think I may actually go with Poirier here but who knows who will win.

i don't know. Both Poirier and Gaethje are pretty reliable. Plus either could fill in if Khabib or Tony pulls out.

Do they dislike going with fights that are 'too obvious' or something? Fucking apes

That's what I meant.

Awesome fight.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Seems like a quick turnaround after such a brutal KO loss

 

[Dirge]

Great fight but Poirier simply isn't that good...

 

[Megalodon]

Great fight but it doesn't really make any sense at all tbh.

UFC 222 looks like it's going to suffer in order to make this New York card a banger.
