So we're going to do this every month, eh? You guys aren't tired of this shit yet? Don't tune in. That simple.
You guys whined for weeks about the Jandiroba/Lemos card and it ended up being one of the most exciting cards of the last few months.
There's zero way to know the quality of the card before it happens, especially if you're more concerned with matchups instead of name value. If you're worried you're going to waste your time after looking at a card and deem it not worth it, wait until it's over, look at which fights you should watch, and look for or fire up a replay rather than cry about it online?
I wish people would look at Fight Night cards more realistically as they are free - they're for prospects, aging veterans, those without name value and to give the fighters that provide depth who may become gatekeepers, journeymen or even top fighters an opportunity to fight, improve and prove themselves.
Every great once in a while we'll get a stacked one. And sometimes, like it Saturday for example, it doesn't entirely deliver. Yet, the 'w0rsT c4rD 0f aL1 t1m3' in Jandiroba/Lemos did. Can we at least wait for the card to happen before we shit on the quality of it?

At least she got a finish, most can’t even do that these days.

I was going to post something like that, but then I took a good look at the card, and it actually does live up to the worst UFC card in history criticism.
The Jandiroba card turned out badass tho

Even though Jandiroba has little to no starpower, i think she's a legit title contender.. Tybura/Spivak could be literal top5-10 gatekeepers at HW at their peak.

It was excellent. One of the best main cards of the year in actual finish/fight quality.

Sure sometimes a fight between two dunks turns out badass too, but that’s a joke of a main event.

I know those two are not exactly the cream of the crop but I’d still much rather watch a couple of Eastern Euro potato farmers slug it out at HW, than pretty much any WMMA fight.
That said, I do think that this card actually has less sleeper potential with the main event being heavyweights and most of the card being more older journeyman and filler fighters rather than young up-and-coming talent that just hasn't built a name for itself yet
Maybe I can get a bit hyped for Zalal cause his name sounds like Belal

You can't possibly think that people are complaining about the results of fights that haven't happened yet.
They're complaining about the UFC putting out non-PPV events that look like regional fight promotions and PPV cards with less elite fighters than ever. This is a perfectly valid thing for people to complain about, especially when this mediocre direction is something the UFC is actively pursuing.
Cards always have the potential to be exciting because underpaid fighters are putting everything on the line to make up for the UFC's shitty matchmaking, but that doesn't excuse the way cards are being put together.
We're seeing more and more of these complaints and it's not because people are whiners, it's because the UFC's product is getting worse.
