______________________________________________________

All fights, bout order and times are set for the UFC's debut on ESPN's Main Network, featuring a Heavyweight Main Event bout between Francis Nganou and Cain Velasquez, returning from injury hiatus. What do you guys think of this card? Provided the Main Event stays together, I really like it.

The entire Main Card is full of fights that should end in some good finishes, I'd call this a solid debut card and hopefully it can draw in some new fans. I'm excited to see the debut of Kron Gracie and one underrated fight to keep on your radar is Benito Lopez vs. Manny Bermudez.

If I had to rate this card out of 10, this is an 7.5-8/10 for me. What do you guys think?

Bunch of nobodies and lightweights fighting. Boring af. Except for the main

 

[Thenewguysnm1]

Usada hit Baaro hard
Hard to believe he was one of the GOATS in his prime
If cain Vs Francis falls through its extremely underwhelming

 

[BerrySmartGuy2]

Good enough. 7/10.

since when is 7/10 good enough? 6/10 is good enough, this card would be garbage if it wasnt for Cain vs ngannou

[Davey Crockett]

8/10

Cain Ngannou Kron

 

[MrZero]

A decent card actually. 7/10

 

[OmegaRugal]

7/10

Surprised Sterling/Rivera isn't on the main card.

 

[Mahkor]

Honestly you add the MW title fight to this and this card looks more like a ppv that the awful 234.

 

[Number 8]

Will watch only the main event. 2/10

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Rivera should be on the main card

The Espn cards are pretty much 2 mini cards in 1. They want good fights on espn and espn+ so they're going to always separate the quality fights. That's why Cerrone fought on the final fight of the prelims.

 

[pick999]

10 albu on card

 

[John makfresshi]

Way too much WMMA. The death of Cain will be cool to watch however

 

[cambo78]

10 albu on card

 

[yeguiza]

it has some wmma mixed in between fights

that being said the card looks good

korns debut intrigues me

cain vs ngannou is sick

 

[Simian Raticus]

It's a'ight/10.

 

[Sonny Qc]

When Cain get injured, that card gonna SUCK....

 

[Bumblebeef]

i like that card

 

[blaseblah]

You're looking at the wrong side

 

[Organic Damage]

7/10 is about right. M.E. gives it like 2 points right off the bat.

Even though I will probably watch all the prelims, had they rearranged the lineup to stack the main card it might be 7.5/8 territory.

8/10
