Man. What does that mean for 224, 225, 227, 228, etc.. if this were to happen though.

A years worth of terrible PPVs for one awesome one? I'll pass. Throw the other two fights on 224 and 225.
 
Still think the MM TJ fight will be the night before.
 
That's a horrible idea, three big champ vs champ fights at the expense of six weight divisions and PPVs for several months.

Boom. That settles it.

I just wish someone down at the WME headquarters would read it. Maybe then they would realise they're having one great night and a beautiful poster with a lot of shiny belts at the expense of six divisions.
 
That would probably be a mistake. These are some of the best fights it's possible for the UFC to make. No need to exhaust them all at one event.
 
I may actually buy this one.

If it holds together.

Even if it is $60.

Some cards are worth it.
 
Its gonna do 350k buys. Amazing looking card if it does happen for the MMA fan but no casual cares.


Also the UFC could get 200k PPV buys if they make each headline their own cad anyways, I dont think it happens.
 
I AM DOWN.


Just like the good old days.


Not like casuals care about fking Nunes vs. Cyborg, or the 'manlet' division.


Stack the shit out of 226. Lets fucking goooooo!!

That fight deserves to headline it's own PPV. Why not make 224-226 all Champ vs. Champ headliners?

I think one of the sticking points for MM/TJ is MM said he wants it to be on a stacked card. He's aware he can't sell ppv by himself.

It would be terrible. If you wanna do all these champ vs. champ fights make them for 224, 225 and 226 consecutively but not all for the same damn event. Shit.
 
I'd put Dj vs Killashaw as the co main.

Cyborg vs Nunes will sell on it's own.

Yeah I remember him saying that. I still think that that fight could headline and sell well if you put a good supporting cast around it. You could always make it the Co-Main to Conor vs. Ferg/Khabib Winner whenever the hell that happens I guess.
 
I'm down for a super card like that.

People crying about the other cards like they wouldnt be bitching about Nunes/Rocky and MM/Cejudo headlining a card they wont buy.

A single card like this would do more buys than 3 events with the 6 champs doubled up on each one.

It'd be quite a test to see if MM vs TJ would sell beyond 250k, I'm not so sure it would because the UFC is HORRIBLE at marketing fights that matter these days. A lousy poster and a few repetitive commercials just won't cut it anymore.

Would Cyborg vs Nunes sell on its own? Hard to say. Cyborg's 219 card sold ~350k, which is about the same as 220 with the HW and LHW belts on the line.
