Sterling vs Evloev is in the prelims ?

[ViD]

Are they seriously putting this fight as one of the prelims (not even the featured prelim fight) while you have the flat earther and Choi on the main card?

Is Dana stripping them from the PPV money or what’s the deal here ?

The fact you'll bring up mitchell and choi but don't mention kron gracie is bizzare

 

[Bubzeh]

I'm more concerned about the lack of WMMA.

 

[Dobymick]

Well they are both boring round earthers normies no one wants to see that

this has been discussed to death. Tf do you mean "PPV money". They're not champions or megastars.
landwehr vs choi is probably going to be a banger, good fight to open the card with.
bryce is fighting kron who is a gracie diva and for some odd reason has only ever been on the main card.
if movsar and sterling were exciting fighters maybe they could've bumped off the choi/landwehr fight. wah wah wah before people bitch and moan about the UFC being sports entertainment and not the olympics and fight bout order should be determined by their arbitrary standards. Get over it.

UFC no longer structures cards from most to least important. They haven’t in years. I personally disagree with their philosophy, think more important fights should be featured higher up on the card. But it is what it is, I watch all anyways.

Trying to bury the relevancy of that match cuz they'd rather Lopes be the next contender.

I believe Kron is also a flat earther, so I think that is who they were referring to

 

[brody_in_ga]

Evloev vs Sterling is a guaranteed split decision fight...

We just had this thread 2 weeks ago:

Why is Aljamain Sterling being so disrespected?

 

[fortheo]

They usually try to amplify the spotlight on number one contender fights, which this should be. The fact that it's burried on the pre-lims, not even main of the pre-lims, tells me that neither of these guys should expect a title shot next unless someone else gets hurt.

I didn't think it was possible for more than 1 flat earther to be on a card.

Yup, winner of this fight will be the ruler of our 2 dimensional world

Yeah, winner of this fight definitely has a date with Lopes. Whilst Volk and Topuria rematch.

It's stupid that they're buried on the prelims, and it is disrespecful. However, we've known that the UFC have hated Sterling, what other champ would defend his belt against 3 former champs and be denied the instant rematch. Hell they're even considering giving O'Malley one after 1 defence against Marlon Vera.

The Gracie's have so many strings they can pull in the UFC to get Kron on the main card, and Choi/Landwehr is a guaranteed banger to be honest.

Still pissed, I am one of the few Sterling fans

 

[Goatenstein]

It should be main card because it'll put thousands of potential buyers to sleep prematurely.

Is the second best fight on the card just slightly after 1st place Shavkat vs Garry.

Sterling vs Movsar is Stylistically one of the best UFC fights of all time. Such an interesting clash of styles. It is extremely competitive on paper and interesting as too similar styles will collide.

It should have been the co-main event while Shavkat-Garry should have been the main event. Nobody gives a flying shxt about Kai vs Pantoja

 

[Bojka]

Maybe because Sterling's last fight was really boring.

 

[AmonTobin]

Since they fought each other to a decision,
Evloev has fought x1, and Lopes has fought x5. Fascinating how different their paths have gone since that fight. Until Evloev produces more interesting results, safe to say UFC is not keen on pushing this guy into the spotlight.

Yeah this is a pretty good theory. They maybe want to minimize calls for him to get a title shot.

He seems very hard to put away and also hasn’t had success putting his opponents away since coming to UFC. Part of that is certainly the level of competition but I think part of that onus is on him. I think he’s very very good but unless he puts on one hell of a show, he really needs a TKO or sub finish here, imo. I still never heard why he couldn’t find a last minute opponent for his last fight that was canceled. Does anybody know? I know he said on social media he’d fight anybody but then nothing got booked.

Sterling went from mixing it up to 99% backpack.
