I rate 307 main card

[CroCopsLHK]

So the prelims had some nice finishes, forgettable fights, awful refs and judges. I'm gonna focus on the main card. I had company over and this was the bulk of the experience:

- Kayla vs Vierra: Kayla shows again she belongs at the top. Her striking really didn't show much but she's tough, endurance, freakishly strong. Kaitlin had a good round 2 but it's clear Kayla has little opposition. A decent showcase fight

- Holland vs Dolidze: Theres nothing much to say here. It sucks seeing early endings like this. There's really not much to say about the fight itself. Dolidze was strong and formidable enough to effect the early outcome you just wish you got more of a fight..

- Aldo vs Bautista: What a wet fart. Sucks to see Jose's second comeback fight play out like this. He had moments of looking great on the feet but Mario found a very frustrating way to win. Sure we didn't expect a layup for Aldo, nor did we expect Mario to become Merab. It was a painful fight to watch

- Pennington vs Pena: This is where a lot of you will lose me. I thought this was a very close and good fight. I was extremely biased for Julie. Yes admittedly I thought Pennington won, but I would need to rewatch it. I'm super elated they gave it to Pena. I don't think it's quite the robbery so many said it was. Very happy to see Pena win the belt again

- Peirera vs Roundtree: 9/10. Was a Total violent slugfest that came down to will. Both showed off awesome combos and the fight had my attention from entrances to finish. This was an incredible main event, albeit standup only, all my company had a great time. That's how to close a ppv. Complete respect to both these athletes

Overall about a 7.5/10. Co main and main left a great impression. All the other fights were mixed nuts. And fuck that referee in the Ihor fight. I hope he pays for that...

Kayla vs Vierra: Looking at Kayla's progress, Vierra ran away for 2 minutes - SKIP

Holland vs Dolidze: Seldom injury, short - Shit happens

Aldo vs Bumtista: Aldo wins the striking, Bumtista stalls for 10 minutes - BAD

Penny vs Pena: What a skillless shit show - SKIP after 2 minutes of bunny hopping, Pena has no striking skill at all

So far the card is a solid 1/10


Pereira vs Rountree - Great fight 8/10


Spann vs St Preux was good.
Buckley vs Thompson was good
McGee vs Means the expected low level first fight
The rest average

 

[don't ask]

I enjoyed Kayla. I enjoyed the bits of the Aldo fight where something was happening. I enjoyed the Pereira fight as much as I could.

7/10

Without Kayla, 4/10

Women's BW and Pena get so much shit

When Nunes left Raquel vs Mayra was such a dry and boring fight. I feel women's BW is the weakest division in ufc. Lighter weights have always been better. Don't even get me started on 145

It's clear to say 135 has been ruled by Rousey, Nunes and Holm. Who's to say Pena can't beat any of them. Say what you want about her striking. She fought Nunes twice and only one finished the other. She doesn't fight that often and has a spotty record. Well she is gritty as hell and never shows up without wanting to win

Kayla is a breath of fresh air but Pena might have the skillset to retain

It was a shit card with a good main event, that's about all.

Prelims had a few decent finishes and the main event was great - 4/10, 5 if you're generous.

I found the main card frustrating to be honest.

Kayla put on a good fight, but I really was hoping she put a stamp on the performance with a SUB or TKO by ground and pound.

Holland was an unfortunate end, to a fight that looked like it could get quite entertaining.

Aldo/Bautista fight was enjoyable in the moments of action, and painful in the moments of stalling. I personally think it was 29-28 Aldo, but it was not as much of a robbery as people are calling for. If Aldo didn't have the star power and fans he did, nobody would be calling it a robbery, just a close fight.

Pennington/Pena... well.. I'm much the opposite. I hate Pena. That was a robbery, maybe I'm biased, or maybe 100% of the media gave it to Pennington..... 48-47 is the only fair score card. Pennington was the only one who ever came close to finishing the fight. So that pissed me off.

Rountree/Pereira was a very fun fight, and really saved the embarrassment of showing some of my more casual friends this event.

Overall, a 6.5/10, and 4-5 of those points come from the main event

Agreed. Pennington fight was bs.

Funny you mention Mario becoming Merab as NEITHER were credited a single takedown against Jose!

Ain't no damn way that pile of shit of a main card was a 7.5/10. TS has really low expectations. 4/10 is more like it, and if you throw in the bad reffing and judges, 3/10, Just God awful.
