The Blanchfield vs Fiorot card is shaping up nicely

[TITS]

You expect it to be a barnburner?

Better than that garbage they're putting on as a main event. It's not even an Apex card, which the main event is more suited for...but on the prelims.

 

[Vulve]

Just like the UFC did Malkoun vs Maximov as a loser gets cut fight, pretty sure Petroski vs Malkoun will be loser gets cut.

tf you're talking about bro, malkoun is a future champ
been saying this for years
that guy will absolutely never get cut

What are you smoking right now? It's arguably the fight to determine the next champion. Both of them would literally be favorites against the current champ. You must be the only one who gives a shit about Petrovski vs Malkoun

6-0 in the UFC
Ranked #3

I tend to defend UFC, but this card isn't that great. The fight nights outside apex (unless international) are usually better.

Brady pulling out hit hard I guess

I didn't realize it was a title fight. Then again, it is the worst division in the UFC, so good luck to them.

Petrovski vs Malkoun. I'm not super stoked about that one, but I'd rather watch that than this:

Jersey girl with home field advantage is going to be very tough to beat.
Would be nice to see Weidman go out on a win for nostalgia’s sake. Gonna keep my fingers crossed.

I will never understand why some people are so eager to embarrass themselves on a Karate forum.

Considering the fact that this an MMA site, there sure are a lot of users seem to dislike the sport, athletes, martial arts, etc…

Better than that garbage they're putting on as a main event. It's not even an Apex card, which the main event is more suited for...but on the prelims.

Keep in mind that no one really lives in AC; so Erin being only a two hour drive(and instate) from the venue makes quite a bit more sense.

Philly’s closer; but since it has a bigger talent pool to draw from, she’d be less likely to headline there.

Why would someone who's 5-1 be on the chopping block?

Because he fights like molasses? The UFC cut Jordan Johnson who went 4-0. Willis got cut after going 4-1.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

They're finally doing Bruno a solid in giving him a lay up name recognition fight for taking on both Poatan and Shara.
The matchup makes no sense, Bruno slept Tavares 4 months before Tavares dominated Weidman. Maybe this is them telling Chris "You need to retire now."

Jordan Johnson didn't get cut, his contract was up, he was offered a contract extension but he didn't agree with the terms, so he signed with PFL.

Justin Willis was a nutcase who got released several months after his last fight. He didn't get cut because he lost.

Dana White explains why Elias Theodorou, Justin Willis were cut by UFC despite winning records

Dana White said the UFC released Elias Theodorou and Justin Willis — two top 15 fighters in their respective weight divisions — due to a lack of potential in

bloodyelbow.com

“There’s a ton of guys and girls that fight here. We have like 600 people under roster,” White told TSN. “There’s always times when we release people and they question, ‘Well, why, why were these people released?’ I’m looking for people that can break into the top five or possibly become world champions.

“The real question is, ask me how many times I’ve been wrong? If you look at me when I’ve released people and who I’ve released, how many times have I actually been wrong about that?”

Many fans were surprised to hear that Theodorou and Willis were both recently released. Theodorou is coming off an uninspiring loss to Derek Brunson, but prior to that the Canadian middleweight was on a three-fight winning streak. Theodorou, often criticized for his not fan-friendly fighting style, went 8-3 in the UFC.

Willis was last seen in a one-sided defeat to top heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes, which was his first UFC loss and snapped an eight-fight winning streak. Willis recorded a 4-1 record in the promotion.

White said some fighters will stick around despite a skid because they “put on unbelievably exciting fights.” When asked if one can consider MMA a sport when fighters with a lower win rate stay on the UFC roster over fighters with a higher win rate because they are more entertaining, White said: “Yeah, I can.”

Blanchfield is legit, Fiorot is a bit more athletic version of Chookagian, this matchup screams Apex to be honest, was this the original main event? Feels out of place for an arena.

I didn't realize it was a title fight. Then again, it is the worst division in the UFC, so good luck to them.

Its not for a title, i would argue that the absolute worst is Womens BW, 145 doesnt exist to even bother mention it as a division.

No, women's 135, heavyweight and light heavyweight are worse divisions. Blanchfield and Fiorot are top contenders. Women's flyweight has become sneaky good the last few years.
