Almeida vs. Garbrandt card = Awesome fights.

[MCMXCIX]

Almeida vs. Garbrandt - It's going to be crazy.
Renan Barão vs. Jeremy Stephens - Should be no less then a brutal standing slugfest lol.
Tarec Saffiedine vs. Rick Story - Story training at the MMA lab looked great his last few fights and Saffiedine looked really good his last one.
Josh Burkman vs. Paul Felder - Both always come to fight.
Jorge Masvidal vs. Lorenz Larkin - Could be a good one. But a chance of being a boring one as well.

Seems like a really good Fight Night card.

Yeah man all these fights are potential barn burners cant wait.

 

[ArtemV]

Not interested in seeing Felder or Burkman fight, except when they get beaten lol. But most of this card is looking good.

 

[Alex]

IMO it's a sick card, many underated fighters.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

I was stoked when they re-signed the People's Warrior. He drew a tough assignment against Lombard. Hoping he pulls out a win here.

 

[bambammccoy]

Barao vs Lil Heathen is totally siiiiiiick.

 

[bjpenngoat]

no way is gamebred vs larkin going to be boring. Masvidal will stand and bang and Larkin will either leg kick him to death or get countered into oblivion. Its going to be a great contrast of styles.

 

[Tony Ferguson]

Excited as shit for Almedia v Garbrandt, at first I didn't like the matchup because I'm a fan of both but it is what it is if it wasn't these two it would've been one of them vs Aljamain and I wouldn't like that either being a Sterling fan as well lmao

But yea man I'm super stoked for Barao // Stephens as well, pretty much every fight on the card am I pumped for! Don't know about y'all but I was super pissed when Al was gifted that bullshit dec over Jorge, Masdival's a fucking beast and I've been dying to see him fight again.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

Agreed. Awesome card. They finally gave us some good matchmaking for this one

 

[beephin]

This is an awesome free card. Really stoked for this card.

Very curious to see Barao at 145.

Is this officially sponsored by the Just Bleed God?

I feel you man.

I am a big fan of Aljo, No Love, and Almeida as well.

Was hoping to see them all avoid each other for another year or two so they could fight while being top 5-7 guys.

They are definitely the future of BW.

Immediately my thoughts lmao didn't understand why TS thinks that'll be a "boring" fight ..

YES I totally feel you, I was just telling my boyfriend like a week ago before this card got announced that I really hope the UFC doesn't knock any of them off their path to the top and this gets scheduled a matter of days later .. Lol I was so mad at first. Like when they made Waterson vs Torres I was like fuuuuuuck but yea thankfully that one didn't happen lmao I absolutely despise two up & comers fighting each other and being set back (some get setback worse than others)

 

[peterparker66]

as many have said before me lots of great fights with underated fighters , I really can't wait for this card .
I'm sure someone will come along and cal them all manlets and so they aren't interested but in reality they will be missing out on great fights IMOO

 

[bjpenngoat]

why did Cody steal Rich Clementes nick name. Its not even a good one. Its like an up and coming fighter calling themselves James the dean of mean Smith.

[Mr. Hammer]

Saff/Story has a higher likelyhood of being boring than Masvidal/Larkin imo but on paper that does look like a laundry list of barnburners. I wish Almeida and Garbrandt had been matched up differently however. I think Almeida is ready for a step up (I'm thinking Dillashaw, Sterling, or Caraway) and Garbrandt might be taking too much of a step up.

 

[burningspear]

Yes, for anyone even slightly in the know about MMA it's a tremendous card.
