Kron & Bryce in Main card while Sterling in Prelims?

[Rayess]

What's happening in there?
Is it a contract thing where Sterling may have the right for a minimum amount when fighting on a main card, but no on prelims?


This is some shady s***

Gracie privilege.
Just looked up his last 3 fights. Main card on all of them.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Bryce is ranked.

Kron Gracie is 5-2 in his career, has fought once in the past 5 years and his last win was Alex Caceres nearly 6 years ago. He's gone 0-2 since then, and has never been ranked to my recollection. For comparison's sake, Alex went 7-3 since then and re-earned a ranking during that time.

No idea why this fight was even booked, let alone put on the main. Shit's a joke

That's not even the worst fight on the main card. Don't forget they have Nate The Boxcar vs Hobo Choi.

name recognition and Bryce is a badass.

 

[TommyBikes]

Don’t mind this at all. Interesting matchup and should be a fun one to watch. Looking forward to a weird post fight interview as well.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

This should really be a Submission Underground match instead. This is MMA after all.

Tbf the 3 most important fights in a card in order is
1. Main event
2. Co main event
3. Highlight pre lim fight

The highlight preliminary fight has more eyes on it than the early main card fights.

So Sterling is getting a bump actually.

You're saying Landwher vs Choi is a worse fight than Gracie vs Mitchell? You are out of your mind. Nate vs Choi will be fun as hell

Rankings wise and skillwise, yes. Landwehr vs Choi might be more entertaining but they belong on the prelims, or maybe a fight night card. Gracie vs Mitchell doesn't belong on there either, but at least Mitchell is ranked unlike those other bums.

This is some shady s***

Both should be on main card with Sterling ahead of Kron but they need a boost to the prelim to attract buyers for PPV...

Kron vs Mitchell is a hella interesting fight...

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Danuh thinks the Gracie name still sells to casuals

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

Let Kron fight in his Gracie Barra GI goddammit.

 

[markys00]

Holy shit. What's wrong with you guys?

Waaaahhhhhh bout order. I need to complain about the dumbest shit again

What are you, new to the UFC? This has been going on for over a decade. Literally, an interview from faber in 2014 talking about this:

Urjah God damn faber. Man hasn't fought in the UFC since like 2016.

EDIT: 2019. My bad. Pre covid

 

[tornado362]

Mitchell still riding the high of that twister. It was 5 years ago and his ONLY finish in the UFC.

UFC hates Sterling, there’s nothing more to it. It’s a far more worthy fight.

 

[xhaydenx]

Slap in the face to Sterling and any other fighters put below them.

Kron shouldn't even be in the UFC. The guy is shit tier.

Can't strike, isn't active, and even his BJJ sucks ass in MMA. Jourdain sat in his guard non stop and Kron had no idea how to even try anything. Looked like a white belt lol.

What do you mean

 

[Bend NvR Break]

What do you mean

It's a better position to be the last fight on the pre lims than any position on the main card besides the main and co main event.

Who is more interesting?
