Just rewatched UFC 305

[JoeRowe]

I really think this was most entertaining and fun PPV of the year. The main event was my FOTY & Hooker/Gamrot was in a LOT of people's top 3 FOTY. Also had major breakout performance KOs by KKF & Prates, the former seemingly cementing a title shot vs Pantoja(unless the UFC brings in Horiguchi).

It did have Rozenstruik/Tuivasa but every ppv usually has 1 stinker. 2 A+s, 2 As, & a D if I had to give grades.


UFC 308 was probably the closest to 305, but I don't think it delivered any top FOTY candidates in the same class as DDP/Izzy & Hooker/Gamrot.

It was a good card but I felt bad for adesanya in the main event, he was doing good and I thought he was about to finish dricus with the body shots as Dricus was having big reactions to them but he just let the fight slip away by being careless for 1 second. Lost money on that one too

I guess it was a good event, but I’m still bitter about how that main event went. Fuck you Dricus!!!!!

I agree. I thought after a close 1st, and clear DDP round 2, it seemed as though Izzy was taking over. Great round 3 & it felt like he was closing in on a finish as you mentioned. Wild momentum swing to end that 1.

I really enjoyed it because I had a KKF/DDP parlay.

It was a great event
King Dricus is the man and was never close to being finished, he was just a lil tired
Izzy just isn’t built to be a King

Dont hate on Dricus He does his thing and doesnt duck anyone just like Izzy did. big respect to both

Yeah these prelims were really weak. And the n a me value wasn't there on the ppv, although KKF & Prates are bigger deals in hindsight. I'd say it was fairly good year overall for ppv product.

Tuivasa kept main card from perfect imo. Also wasn't best card start to finish if you include the other fights. Was pretty fun overall though. 9/10 for me.

def thought 305 was better than 308, 298 or 299

those other cards had better name value on paper thought but 305 fights all turned out great
