All of these fights within 21 days of each other:

Light Heavyweight Emanuel Newton vs. Linton Vassell

Welterweight Donald Cerrone vs. Alex Oliveira
Middleweight Derek Brunson vs. Roan Carneiro
Bantamweight Cody Garbrandt vs. Augusto Mendes (Was going to be the fight of the night vs Lineker until he pulled out); not a good fight now, but I still want to evaluate Garbrandt as I feel like I haven't paid enough attention)

Feb. 27th on Fight Pass (UFC)

well they certainly have quantity down.

Yup I was going down the list of all the fights that i'm excited to see and its kind of crazy to see how many good fights there are BEFORE McGregor vs RDA. That fight is so big that it seems to overshadow a lot of good fights that are happening before it.

 

[Reach4theSky]

Cool. I like MMA.

I didn't realise Vassel and Newton were rematching. Their first fight was a good grappling chess-match, Newton did well to hang on and then get the finish.

The first fight was so good, the rematch depresses me.
I like Newton a lot and assume:
1. No way this fight can live up to the first one
2. Newton will probably lose this time.

all the fighters with link to their wiki/sherdog page, nice work

but -1/10 for not having the great DADA 5000's page

Out of what you listed these are the fights that intrigue me. Not too bad because I feel it's been a bit of a drought the past weekend or two.

 

[LHWBelt]

And who am I kidding? I'll watch the trainwreck that is Shamrock/Gracie 3.

 

[blewgums]

That's cool. I like fights!!

Same although I pray it doesn't go the distance.... same with Kimbo/Dada

 

[LouisBolanos]

In before injuries.

In before injuries.

Hopefully MVP and Lineker will be enough to appease the injury bug.

I fear that the injury god will not satisfied by such insignificant sacrifices.

Plus only 7 days after McGregor vs RDA you get the WSOF's most exciting fighter Justin Gaethje vs 1 testicle UFC vet Brian Foster.

Thanks, he'll always be DaDa to me though; for whatever reason I refuse to watch any of his previous fights before hand because i'm afraid they'll look so bad that I will lose interest in watching. If he shows anything vs Kimbo though i'll go back and watch after.
