Prelims are filling up but not a main card fight in sight, yet.

Saenz, UD. Wineland retires or is cut.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Good scrap, but I hope they will announce some bigger fight for Chicago.

They don't have a ton a big name available tho.

Have to wait for the fallout of 198 and CO I guess..

 

[Bjjpitbull8]

Have trained with Eddie before he's a good dude hard worker. Drove like 100 miles to go to train Bjj. Haven't heard the name in long long time

 

[Sonny Qc]

Btw good job again Sublime, always quick on the news

 

[fortheo]

Wow. I didn't realize that Laflare was fighting Yakolev. That fight is Going to be very, very close; they both excel at grappling, and they've both been showing an improved stand up game. I'm hyped for that fight.

Back to the the thread topic: Saenz is a tough fight back for Wineland.

As a chicago resident, this card looks very disappointing compared to the last one. It's one thing to only come to Chicago once a year, but this is not cool. Last year's card had Dillashaw, Barao, Tate, Eye, Barboza, Felder, Lauzon, Gomi, Miller, and more. Now they come back a year later and not a single one of the 7 fights announced is even remotely noteworthy. The main card will have to be amazing to justify going at all.

I was just to post something about this fight, I think it could be very boring because of their styles, I hope not

Robbie vs Rory 2nd fight for the belt

Ya I'm good for that one as well. But doubtful since Rory is fighting Wonderboy in Ottawa.

JDS Vs Barnett
Bader Vs Gustafsson
Woodley Vs Magny

Any of those matchups would be amazing. I suppose I need to also remember that a lot of top guys are fighting at 198 and 199 (which is ~6 weeks from the card but is a doable turn around depending on damage taking) so there will be more options after those cards have happened.

 

[SimonNova]

Hopefully Eddie didnt break his jaw when he said I'm in.

I would not fret, I expect to see some top flight fire power at the top of this card.

 

[EJRMAN513]

Eddie should be a bad style match-up for Frankie but Eddie also seems to be at the lower end of his career while Saenz is peaking. I'll go with Eddie but Saenz can definitely win this.

 

[sonhow]

I think Rumble-Glover headlines this card.
