How garbage was UFC 315?

[bubbleboyjones]

Reading these responses, I can’t recall a PPV where so many people didn’t want to stay up for the main event. Mind you, these are streamers. This means the UFC could give these cards away for free and people still wouldn’t stay up to watch them

All the streams I saw were perfect as well(aka there was no traffic)

They had worst case scenario. Main and co main event that the public didn't care about along with starting the main after fucking 1am EST on Mother Days morning. Yeah they could give it away people ain't watching.

It was pretty good.

I skipped the main event but that one turned out to be a banger, too.

Val Fiorot was solid, as was Aldo Zahabi.

Benoit strangled someone and Natalie Silva is probably the new number 1 contender.

Dunno how much more could be expected from a night but it was a pretty solid show.

“Stopping by to inform that I’m fine,” Silva wrote in Portuguese. “I went to the hospital and did exams, it’s all OK with my health.”

Silva openly discussed the mental health issues he’s faced during his recent fights, telling MMA Fighting he focused on treatment before being given a last chance by UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard.

Likely done with the UFC now after losing five in a row, including the first knockout setback of his 36-fight career, Silva lamented the fact he didn’t get a victory so he could share his message to a larger audience.

Oh good I'm glad he's ok! That was rough

There have been studies that the most popular programs are always the ones being illegally streamed the most. If people weren't even bothering to illegally stream if for free, I can only imagine how low the actual buy rate was for this event.

It's actually a good thing long term, fans don't have as much blind loyalty to the UFC brand as they hope, and it's the fighters who people are actually willing to spend money for.

Didn't mind it at all.

Main event was really good.

Co main wasn't as dramatic but a close competitive fight.

Aldo/Zahabi last round was high drama.

Silva had a great performance.

BSD steamrolled that dude.

All in all I thought I got value for my $0.

The prelims shouldn’t be consistently better than the main card. They force WMMA on the main card to appease the Hollywood elite and it makes the whole vibe derail.

The card was pretty good. There were 12 fights. More than half of them were good with an excellent main event.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Pretty much what everyone said. Prelims were a bit hit or miss.. as for main card: BSD schooled the handpicked replacement on ppv of all places. Grasso lost to a very mobile Silva, and hate to say it Alexa didnt look improved and Natalya seemed to be pointfighting. Aldo looked a bit uninspired and retired.

Val and Manon fought as competitive fight you'd imagine with Val doing some damage/dropping Manon in first round. Manon tried to win with control but Valentina got a little more offense and some good spinning attacks. Kudos to Val for eliminating another contender

Belal vs JDM was a total banger. An incredible amount of damage from both of them over 25 min. You can't expect either to carry an entire card but they went to war. Ultimately JDM could scramble and was cold as hell

Event was about a 7/10

I’m glad I got home late and didn’t get the itch to waste 80 bucks

Hey man can you allegedly or hypothetically PM me, unofficially, about what one of those streaming sites could potentially look like?

I used to do stream east but it ain’t workin no more

 

[rorschach51]

I enjoyed it very much. Malott really set the tone hahahah

Belal "I remembered his name" Muhammad is no longer WW champion, I didn't see any of your posts during the fight last night what was your take on your boys gameplan? I got respect for how tough dude is, holy crap.

I def thought he would shoot more. He really stood up too much. I felt like even if he didn't get them if he shot more he would have been less predictable to deal with. I thought he might catch the guy with kicks when he leaned into one.

Was a great fight and close, but JDM took that last Rd and I thought he was going to win.

 

[Trabaho]

Judging of the highlights and main event it seemed like it over delivered. I think it was a win card that panned out well. The main fight really delivered.

 

[Danespina]

Was pretty good. Main event beat expectations.

 

[Mammothman]

Not as bad as Canelo last fight, I literally fall asleep during the fight lol.

 

[MRT]

Card was better than expected with a number of very nice finishes.

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Watched Aldo retire and fell asleep during the Shevchenko vs Fiorot

It was a good card
The haterz are just your typical mouth breathing casual
Probably Pro Wrestling fans

1 to 10 how garbage was that card? I skipped the entire event

Aside from the main event, BORING AF…2 WMMA snozefest fights.

The UFC talent department has managed to find the Brazilian version of Holly Holm.

How exciting…
