"One of the best fight cards in UFC history"

It's very good but it appears great relative to the diminished quality of the average UFC card. In terms of recent cards it's on par with something like 256.
 
UFC 200 was supposed to be as well...

We all remember how that event went.
To be fair, it STARTED much better.
 
It has three title fights, yeah. None of them is particularly compelling and two of them are predictable.

I dont expect it to end up being a great card, despite there being some great fighters on it.
 
It’s good but it’s not blowing me away. Yan vs Sterling is the only great fight imo.
 
Jan has ZERO title defenses, and he's fighting a guy who's literally never fought in the division. Two fights ago he eeked out a split decision against a geriatric, undersized Jacare.

He's a soft target having a fun but ultimately unimportant fight with Israel. Two title defenses at middleweight, one outstanding the other a split stinker we all try to forget.

Yan -vs- Sterling is a fine fight.

Dober and Islam are fight night card fighters, all due respect.

I don't follow WMMA so that fight is a zero for me, I'll take a snack break.

This is a good-not-great card, for $70. The bar is so low people will make this out to be more than it is.
 
Good fight does any1 have stream I lost my business do to COVID
 
The sad part is this is a typical UFC card back in the day they just smacked titles on there. I like having an event every week but back in the day when there was one PPV every other month those cards were good top to bottom. They also didn't have any shit fighters because they didn't have the events for it. I'm not a good person with knowing which UFC number was what so I typed in UFC 50 and top to bottom MMA fans know who everyone is. They also kept being good close to modern day.

They've doubled the amount of categories too. By adding 145, 135, 125 and a couple of women's divisions, we now have 5 new "Champions".

I know most people don't agree, but the further removed from HW, the less I'm interested. And regarding WMMA, it needs to go away.


I think this card has something like 15 total fights. 3 flyweight, 4 Bantam weight, and 2 WMMA. 9/15 fights on this card would never have existed in the good old days.


I won't be paying for this card.

Yeah I think skill wise WMMA isn't there yet. I think Dana was sorta right in that sense. I got to be honest though I live near Rochester NY and the best fight we saw was Sajara Eubanks vs Aspen Ladd. They were so sloppy it was great to watch and I agree that it needs to be in place for equality.
 
I actually want to see this one.
 
That's the issue with looking back at cards, who knows in five years we might look back at this one and say "wow, Uros Medic was on that card"
I mean since the UFC has changed their model to more is better we haven't had that. I'm pretty confident that many of the unknowns won't be known at the end of this.
 
it has a lot of good/exciting fights but it lacks the one truly special main event.

Dont get me wrong, Jan/Izzy is an incredible fight. But its not like, say, Jones vs DC 1 level.

But considering most the cards weve gotten lately, and corona, I will abso fucking lutely take this card.
