Is Dern Ribas II the crappiest card ever???

[GordonMMARamsey]

We get this thread once a month at this point.

 

[Black Blood]

Eh, weak headliner but decent enough card. You gotta have the fighters fight in order to get fans and find the next big thing...

 

[usernamee]

dern ribas 2 already happened? are they fighting a third time?

 

[El Fernas]

We had no fights for god knows how long, not even boxing put anything worth mentioning for weeks, ill take it.

PS: Yes, its a shit card with the most random main event, its a rematch to begin with, the only good thing about them is both are not point fighters, they go in to fight, it might not be all that bad.

Certainly the worst card of the year so far.

FWIW this was the first UFC card this time last year:

IN before some calls a card that requires a paid subscription to view, “free”.

Chris Curtis also being on the card drops it a few points.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Actually this card is not bad at all

 

[TITS]

Also, according to Black Belt magazine, this is one of the most highly anticipated cards of the entire year!

"Featuring a stacked lineup of 14 exciting MMA matchups, this event promises non-stop action and intense rivalries. The entire fight card will be broadcast live in the U.S. on ESPN+, making it a must-watch for fight enthusiasts.

Let’s dive into what makes this event one of the most anticipated on the UFC calendar."

They also doubled down on that November 1st date:

"Be sure to tune in on ESPN+ this Saturday, November 1, 2025, and witness the action live from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Stay updated with us for post-fight analysis and results."

It must have been written by a bot that saw 1-11-2025 and mistook it for the "international version" (11-1-2025).

Not even Mackenzie's ass can save this card, 2/10.

If Mackenzie had her milk engorged post pregnancy boobs from their first fight, that might improve this card to 3/10.

UFC dying confirmed

 

[Roop Holstry]

It’s pretty bad. The main event is lame and I may skip that but I’m desperate for fights so I’ll watch some of it.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

They starve us for four weeks then serve us this crap cause they know we will eat it up.

Guilty as charged..

Not even Mackenzie's ass can save this card, 2/10.

I came here to say I'd rather watch the weigh ins than the card itself.

 

[Pechan]

Will probably skit tbh

[ninja boot]

Please rate this giant prelim of a card please

https://www.blackbeltmag.com/ufc-fight-night-dern-vs-ribas-2-full-fight-card-breakdown

not my favorite and lacks name recognition but at the end of the day it is still fighting, its not ppv and events like these are a great excuse to do anything else if you're not into it.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

There are a few fights I'm interested in watching:

Kopylov vs Curtis: I predict a close decision for Kopylov and a lot of crying and a meltdown by Curtis
Almeida vs Abdul: Banger
Ponzi vs Harris: Ponzi is my countryman.. he is shopworn but War Santiago

I will watch some of the fight Sunday morning with a coffee on my hand. Not worthy going to bed late for this one.
