It's a bit absurd that either of Austen Lane or Robelis Despaigne is on the main card of any UFC event, even a Fight Night.

That said, I like this card. There will be many threads made about it with much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but I am looking forward to it.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

I'm all in on Fluffy, but Michel seems to be firing on all cylinders right now.

I'm calling my shot though, Fluffy via flying heel hook during a Michel cartwheel off the cage

Looks like Phillips is getting his shot to enter the top 10 vs Font and Asu is getting his vs Nicolau. Solid card.

Awesome!

As always with a Fluffy announcement, fingers crossed he makes it.

Was hoping Pereira fought Sharabullet before the end of year or Bo

 

[Travis Alexander]

That main event is a FUCKING BANGER! I’m looking forward to this with bated breath and anticipation!

MW is quickly becoming one of my favorite divisions again in the UFC. So many good guys outside the top 5 that I’m hyped on. Caio, Bo, Shara, Perreira, Fluffy etc etc. Tons of fun matchups to be made over the next year.

Dang Elkins still fights i thought he was retired

 

[Neck&Neck]

Michel via front flip ish KO

 

[OnMicMMA]

Fluffy is my guy. Round 3 submission after getting the shit kicked out of him. Predicted r2 sub vs Kopylov and was dead on. Same thing but Pereira trains at Xtreme Couture now and these guys got grit so round 3. Kopy was untested so i figured he wouldnt swim too deep. Pereira is tested and going to be well prepared.

 

[EndlessCritic]

The real question is whether Tamires Vidal will perk back up from her tit punch KO loss.

Would be fun but Pereira has won 8 fights in a row, he deserves to be fighting ranked opponents right now.

Lane vs robelis isn't listed as a main card fight... TD just posted fights he likes. I don't think he even got the comain event right lol


Anyway, ppl hate on these fight nights. This one looks fun to me. Crazy Pereira's last fight he was on the early prelims

 

[Ares Black]

Apparently Fluffy doesn't watch UFC or pay attention to his division, so he might not know how wild Pereira might be. Presumably his team watches tape at least.

He's won THREE fights at middleweight against absolute jabronis.

His last fight is against a guy with a UFC record ... I shit you not... of 2-4. The fight before that, 7-7. These are not UFC caliber fighters.

There is absolutely no reason he deserves ranked opponents. He's rebuilding after blowing up his welterweight career.

Huh..? If someone is 7-7 in the UFC, that means they are a UFC caliber fighter. They're not good enough to be in the UFC, but have had 14 fights in the UFC?

Blowing up his career give me a break lol. He's a fan favorite & he has received 5 bonuses over this 8 fight win streak he's on.

He's not someone the UFC would try to "serve up" to prospects like Shara & Bo that they want to keep winning, ridiculous that anyone would think otherwise.

 

[blaseblase]

Austin Lane is an early prelims type of fighter, so is Despaigne at this point. Both of them absolutely suck and will go nowhere in the sport.

That's true but it should be pretty exciting for the 2 minutes it will last unless Lane goes full wrestler again like he did vs Diniz.
