UFC 173 Main Event is Renan Barao vs. TJ Dillashaw

[Fight Gone Bad]

Assuncao not getting the shot because of lingering injuries. Hmm...

Anyways, rooting hard for TJ. Finally bringing that UFC strap to TAM I hope.

TJ won't be that guy...
TJ is going to get devoured
How in the heck did he get a title shot? TAM must have saved someone from a burning building

Hope they find someone decent for Takeya, he's on a pretty good run himself he deserves a step up.

They should pull Wineland from his pointless fight against Johnny Eduardo.

I'm a huge fan of Team Alpha Male and I am afraid it's gonna be a "Team Alpha Male winning streak" for Barao. First Faber then TJ.

TJ is D.E.D. dead.

Barao

Dillashaw

Accurate.

What does Barao have to do become #1 pound for pound? :icon_twis

Skill wise he is already there.

Recognition wise,
he needs Aldo to move up and so he can then tear through the FW division as well.

Oh and Jones having a close rematch with Gus wouldn't hurt either.


BARAO TO RULE THEM ALL!!!

Fix his teeth.

Cool! Tough fight for both of them. TJ looked really good in his last fight against Easton.

Yeah that was my thought as well especially considering they buried him as the first Prelim on that show.

I have no idea on their injuries, if they are or not but Francisco Rivera, Bruce Leroy, or even a rematch with Erik Perez would be awesome.

If Leroy is capable he'd be my ideal pick cause he's fun to watch and that could be a chance for him to really become a star. But Wineland makes the most sense.

 

[DrDangles]

Things could have been worse.

Anyways, Im glad Dillashaw is getting a shot before Assuncao. For one I dont give two shits about Assuncao. Win impressively.

I'd prefer Leroy. Both him and Miz are on big win streaks and it's the step up fight for Alex I want to see sonner than later. Would be main card worthy to.

Alex is injured. He was scheduled to face Erik Perez at TUF Nations Finale but dropped out. Erik vs. Miz?

Very surprised. Dillashaw has looked good but shouldn't he have to fight a top bantamweight before he gets a title shot? He just beat a dude on a two fight losing streak. Not to mention Assuncao has beaten not only him but the guy he just beat as well.

 

[Scuba]

good fight not sleeping on tj but renan has been on a roll lately just running through everyone I hope he doesn't take this one lightly because tj is a game opponent

if this fight is the main event, the card will probably do under 230k buys

Barao/Faber, Aldo/Lamas and Overeem/Mir only hit 230k. This will hit 100k. And that's being generous.

Assuncao is better than Dillashaw. Assuncao also destroyed Mike Easton on late replacement and Assuncao had a broken arm during that fight.

 

[HereticBD]

Gee, I wonder why buyrates are dropping. That is a pathetic Main Event.

 

[surgeyou1]

This card will be fortunate to crack 250k buys

Divide that in half.
