Cory vs frankie should be the main event right?

[Bangkok ready d1]

Really strange choice of the ufc placing this fight as the co main, thats mostly sure the number 1 contender match for the next title chalenger at bw. Don't get me wrong overrem and volkov are top 10 guys but this match ain't taking them nowere.

Rankings alone are never the criterion they use to build up cards. Overeem is by far the biggest name on the card, hence the headliner.

I also don't agree that Cory vs Frankie is a title eliminator (probably is but not set in stone as BW is stacked rn).

That match is just a re-booked fight that should've happen last year anyway. And it is originally supposed to be a co-main event also on that Blaydes/JDS card. It's all good.

All of the top 5 are coming of losses though, unless rob font gets an oportunity for a big fight and wins this is pretty much the only fight there is to make for a title eliminator

Didn't Dana say something along the lines of the Heavier weight classes always headline?

But but Conor...

There's a reason Overeem headlined his past few fights. He's much more popular and me personally would look forward to that fight than Frankie's/Sandhagen.

Sure, and I think it might depend on how the fight goes as well. But I think Rob Font, Cody, and Aldo are in the mix as well. Plus, Dillashow's return is the real wildcard here.

A HW fight is always more prestigious than a manlet vs lanklet fight.

 

[AtaTheCrow]

Sandhagen vs Edgar and Ferreira vs Dariush are the reason im watching the event.

Conor be lucky to headline the prelims now

Overeem-Volkov is more likely to produce a memorable finish than a Frankie main event
