UFC 226 - Best card of the year so far?

[Just Creed]

Just having a look at the line up and damn it's looking great -

Stipe v DC
Holloway v Ortega
Ngannou v Black Beast
Chiesa v Pettis
Gokhan Saki v Khalil Rowntree

And the prelims are great too -

Hall v Costa
Assuncao v Rob Font
Curtis Millender v max Griffin
Hooker v Burns
Shitty wmma bout
Mike Perry v Paul Felder

Honestly, out of the prelims, the only fight I think which could be boring besides the wmma bout, would be Assuncao v Font. Font is dangerous and a legit guy but I think Assuncao decisions him.

The main card just looks like back to back violence. I think Max and Stipe will remain champs but as long as we see great fights, I don't mind. Also we finally get to see Chiesa v Pettis and Saki v Rowntree. The bus incident in April really rustled me since I was excited to see Chiesa fight.

By a mile tbh. 10/10 on paper.

Yup. A night of boring decisions would be very unclimatic

Shitty wmma bout

This is a thinly veiled "WMMA doesn't belong" thread








And I 100% agree.

Honestly, that main card has the potential to be the best of not only this year, but of all time. You never know how things will shake out, but holy fuck, what a card.

The card is amazing. I'm expecting to see several special finishes. The black on black crime is a real nail biter.

 

[ChumpyKiwi]

I honestly don’t see any fights on here that will be boring. A lot of exciting fighters so should be a good night. Could be wrong though.

 

[I_IZ_BACK]

Hopefully they will bring it. Looks awsome on paper, but stacked cards can turn out to be boring, so let's hope they bring it

 

[Just Creed]

Anything can happen in the Ortega v Holloway fight. I hope Ortega is prepared for 5 rounds as I suspect Max will try to wear him down and aim for a late tko.

Idk if that fight can be boring

I think Max will fight long and carefully for a few rounds then start piling it on.
But of course Ortega could spoil all that in minutes by grabbing a hold of him. Cannot wait

It can’t be. It’s gonna be great! I think Max proves to be more than Ortega can handle on the feet and drops in the 2nd or 3rd round. So TKO for Holloway.

Ngannou vs Black Beast.. Oh shit, someone is leaving on a stretcher for sure. I think these two, this match up, might be the hardest punchers since JDS vs Carwin

The main card is indeed violence.

I'm expecting a lot of blood on the floor, by the time its main event.

I see Stipe v DC being more violent than Pettis Chiesa. I think it'll be a grappling match

 

[ArtOfDrowning]
