FOX Main Card:

Holly Holm vs. Valentina Shevchenko
Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira
Edson Barboza vs. Gilbert Melendez
Francis Ngannou vs. Bojan Mihajlovic

FOX Featured Prelims:

Darren Elkins vs. Godofredo Pepey
Ryan LaFlare vs. Alexander Yakolev
Alex Oliveira vs. James Moontasri
Eddie Wineland vs. Frankie Saenz
Felice Herrig vs. Kailin Curran

Fight Pass Prelims:

Tony Martin vs. Michael Prazeres
George Sullivan vs. Hector Urbina
Luis Henrique vs. Dmitry Smolyakov


Give or take 1 fight or so (Maybe a Main Card fight) the next Big FOX card is completed. Please note that this is not the official bout order for the event, just one I have made for the sake of this thread. It isn't bad for a FOX card, not at all. Pretty damn good, honestly. It bothers some people that Holm/Shevchenko is the Main Event over Johnson/Glover but think about, is that fight really going to go more than 3 rounds? I doubt it's going to need all of that time. Barboza vs. Melendez is going to be a barn burner fight but I have a hard time thinking Melendez can beat Barboza coming off of that layoff. He's going to have his hands full. If the UFC doesn't add another Main Card fight for this event, an Ngannou KO is the perfect way to kick things off. My rating for this card is 7.5/10. What do you guys think?
 
Top notch main card... Johnson and Texeiria has me sweating

I like it a lot, but I think it'll be rough on Melendez after such a layoff. Barboza seems to be settling into his own. A win here and I'd say he's a win away from a title fight.
 
I'm in the Chicago suburbs and i'm going to pass on the event (also passing on Rampage in St Louis this summer) i'm sure i'll enjoy the fights on the TV but i'm not emotionally invested in any of the fighters on the card.

9/10 for sure ... For a fox card I love it
 
It's been a while since the prelims were this bad (except they Pepey fight, that will probably be wild). The main card is going to be a treat for every striking fan.
 
How in the fudge is Rumble vs Glover not headlining this card? I would also put Barboza vs Giblet as a better match to watch also. Damn WMMA.....
 
5 rounds of Holm vs Shevchenko is not super fun imo. Rest is great but Rumble vs Glover should be ME.

Definitely, I think it's a good fight for both of them. Barboza looked like a champion versus Pettis, Gilbert is coming off a long layoff but he always comes to fight. Melendez is going to try to pressure Barboza and make it an ugly fight. This is a good test for both of them, with a win over Gil, Barboza is definitely a contender and should get a top 3 opponent, if Gil can win which is a tall task with the layoff, he is right back in the mix.


I love the lightweight division.
 
Love the top 4 fights. 8/10. I'd be Cowboy Oliveira is the fight pass prelim headliner.
 
7/10 total. I can't wait for Barboza vs Melendez.

It isn't like Rumble vs. Glover is going to need 5 rounds.

Rumble vs Glover will be 3 or 5 rounds fight? That's an interesting point. Because Rumble in a 3 rounds match is a fuckin savage but in 5 rounds maybe Glover takes it

Rumble vs. Glover will be 3 rounds.
 
9/10, because of Yakovlev, Shevchenko, Rumble, Texeira (for me)
