El Cucuy vs Eagle is the biggest fight in UFC LW history

[Shammon]

This fight and Jones vs. Cormier 1 are basically the most hyped fights ever for me.

 

[Tylerl90]

As far as PPV buys, probably not. But as far as straight-up competition? Oh yeah, hard to argue. Really looking forward to it and hoping to God it actually happens.

 

[TripTictonic]

Agreed. Hard to beat it.

 

[TripTictonic]

It's only a big deal because they kept signing to fight and backing out. Fight wise without the belt, which it is, it's a 3rd spot from the main event at best.

Now what will happen after this fight is over will be the big deal, so you're right in that sense.

No it isn’t. This is the first time we have seen two fighters face each other with 10 fight win streaks. Easily some of the most momentum we have ever seen between two fighters, especially at Lw.

 

[mmacasualviewer]

It will be the biggest in 160lb catchweight history. I wonder if Khabib gets the Romeo deal.

 

[b34stmode]

Whats the betting line on this fight actually happening?

 

[pick999]

nope
bj vs sanchez

 

[juncito]

No it isn’t. This is the first time we have seen two fighters face each other with 10 fight win streaks. Easily some of the most momentum we have ever seen between two fighters, especially at Lw.

Rashad vs machida
Machida vs Silva
Glover vs Jones
JDS vs Cain

I don't really feel like fact checking right now but I'm sure those fit the bill.

 

[regmma123]

i believe its mostly hype... tony got mounted by kevin lee and almost finished in the first... this is going to be a one sided beating

Tony’s known for taking a beating ,then coming back to finish

 

[LikeItIs]

It's a monster of a fight, and I'm having a hard time thinking of a more intriguing or important match.

Hard for me not to agree.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Combined ufc record of 21-1. So yeah.

 

[mjg15]

I would've liked to have seen a world tour, Embedded series, ala Conor and Aldo. Bring them over to Russia maybe.

Either way, it's a little over month now and I just hope it happens.

I'm pretty sure the UFC brass don't want to take chances on disrupting the camps any more than absolutely necessary, given that they had so many problems getting these two to the cage in the past

 

[yekmurat]

nope
bj vs sanchez

Lol and you re Blackbelt

 

[C-eltic]

Eddie has more top 10 and top 5 wins than Tony and Khabib do combined lmfao.

Name them please and prove your point

 

[JarlSkuld]

Definitely looking forward to this fight.

Its a great matchup, and yup I agree its the best LW fight ever for me. Its a long time in the making too, been booked so many times in the past and never happened.

I’m optimistic...

But, keeping myself in check. Hoping this bitch flies under the radar, and actually goes down.

It’s hard though, because it’s exciting not just for the fight itself. But, the end to 18 months of utter BULLSHIT ! And, the complete destruction of the most delusional fan base I’ve ever witnessed.

This really needs to happen.

 

[markg171]

Name them please and prove your point

Eddie has fought 6 top 5 guys in his UFC run alone, let alone the rest of his career: Cerrone, Melendez, Pettis, RDA, Conor, and Gaethje.

Tony in his entire career has only fought RDA. Khabib in his entire has only fought Barboza.

Point proven.

 

[AMAZINGUFC]

100% agree too.
A true champion with many victories in a row(exactly how a ideal champion must be)
and a undefeated challenger with the same qualifications.
Both in their primes and the fact this fight was cancelled some times.
