Did we just watch the worst UFC card ever?

In terms of the matches on the card, the last-second pullout, and the Gamrot fight being lame yes

However the MMA gods did bless us with the ninja choke, the anaconda, and the Jacoby KO so while it was still terrible, there were still some highlights
 
I watched it after I woke up, while drinking tea. Managed one round of the Reese - Todorović fight before I switched to 4x fast forward. I had to pause twice to see Jacoby’s flurry and Brahimaj’s choke. I was at 16x speed during Gamrot’s fight and couldn’t even figure out why the main event wasn’t happening and checked it on SD. I’m not even mad, saved a lot of time.
 

No hyperbole that shit was bad. We all know it was one of the worst UFC cards ever on paper and it delivered. Opening WMMA was the highlight lmao good fight but eh other than that Jacoby had a nice KO against an overmatched opponent. Last second main event pullout to top it off. Yikes.
Nope. I didn't watch it. If I don't give a fuck about the names I see on the card, I simply don't watch.

The quality of UFC cards is absolutely terrible now.
 
I was excited for the Erin Blanchfield vs Maycee. Tow young prospect talents from WMMA. But it's sad because according to the news, Maycee was cutting so much weight so consistently, that the dehydration took such a toll that she had seizures and needed to be taken to the hospital before the match. Weirdly tho, Erin Blanchfield said "I just won't ever fight her again. She's not a professional ". Sure, she's frustrated since she lost her effort and all, but her opponent had seizures before walking in and she mostly dissed her even tho it's serious shit... Idk, this cutting weight stuff is getting out of hand...

I honestly think she was just too drained, no seizure stuff. If true go to Bw. Real question is hot did Blanchfield see this coming way before.

Well, that's what the new reported, the MMA Mania and other MMA news. But again, like I've said, the news are so over the place many times.

We are sadly into an era in which I fear some fighters are being used merely as guarantees of a fight in case the realm planned fighters don't show up. For example the McGregor Chandler situation if looked more closely, seemed also clearly a not real McGregor Chandler.

But that's the thing, the news are so over the place, that I suspect everything I read because it's everything written in an almost joking (and maybe or rather likely, with an underlying message) that it's hard to know what is what anymore. Let's see the Wikipedia page of some fighter... Let's pick Yoel Romero:

"Romero competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics and the 2004 Summer Olympics, representing his home nation of Cuba. He won the silver medal in the 2000 freestyle competition, losing to Adam Saitiev in the finals.[12][8] He finished in fourth place in 2004. While competing in freestyle wrestling, Romero has defeated three Olympic gold medal winners, and five different world champions.[13] Among them were Americans Cael Sanderson and Les Gutches, both of whom Romero has multiple victories over.[13]

Romero medaled in five world championships, only missing out with his fifth-place finish in 1997, and a sixth-place finish in 2003, when he was battling injuries. Other notable achievements include a gold medal at the 2003 Pan American Games, a quadrennial competition held the year before the Olympics, as well as multiple medal-winning finishes at the FILA Wrestling World Cup."


Like wtf....
 
I'm usually happy with pretty much any card, but this one really hurt to watch.

So many fights were just whole rounds of LNP with no real sub or GNP attempts.

No one really got hurt at all on this card apart from in the Jacoby fight, and even that didn't really go for long. The one other fight where they banged it out was Oki and Aswell, and Oki was too shit to even rock his smaller, short notice opponent.

Other than that Jacoby finish, we only got 2 subs, and neither was really an exciting fight. One guy just initiated the grappling right away and we got a sub in the first round. No real strikes or shit thrown. No real drama.

Reece and Todo should have been good but was sorta just lame when they both ran out of gas.

Finally we limped around to the co main just to watch Blanketrot do his thing for while before finally slowing down enough that Klein could get some striking going. He didn't have enough urgency though despite being down 2 rounds.

And then we get the main event cancelled.

Apart from all the TUF episode fights, I've watched every single fight the UFC have put on in like 15 years now apart from the Shield's vs GSP card, and I can't remember any one of them that I liked less than this one.
