UFC 228 - Which fight do you elevate to main card after Nicco/Valentina cancellation?

[sdpdude9]

Carla Esparza vs. Tatiana Suarez
Aljamain Sterling vs. Cody Stamann
Jimmie Rivera vs. John Dodson
Charles Byrd vs. Darren Stewart
Diego Sanchez vs. Craig White
Jim Miller vs. Alex White
Irene Aldana vs. Lucie Pudilova
Jarred Brooks vs. Roberto Sanchez
Geoff Neal vs. Frank Camacho

For me, the obvious pick is Rivera/Dodson. Should have been on the main card from the get go. But I know the UFC is reluctant to pull fs1 fights and they usually draw from fight pass so Sanchez/White or Miller/White would be the best options there.

Man, I can't believe how garbage this card is.

But to answer the question, Rivera vs Dodson.

 

[West Linn]

Esparza vs Suarez or Dodson vs Rivera. They're the highest ranked fights. Or just get Valentina to dance in the cage for a few minutes.

 

[Rygu]

Esparza/Suarez for sure.

On a lesser card that gem of a fight would be the main event.

 

[HaulParris]

Can they just pull Suarez or Esparza into an interim fight with Shevchenko? Suarez especially, is not a small 115lb fighter.

 

[IMPmmath]

Karolina/miniWand

 

[Sweater of AV]

Pudilova-Aldana just to piss everyone off even more.

 

[Axl']

Rivera-Dodson. They buried that fight on early FS1 prelims for no reason.

[Fthehaters]

Esparza vs Suarez or Dodson vs Rivera. They're the highest ranked fights. Or just get Valentina to dance in the cage for a few minutes.

I lol'ed.

 

[drbolony]

Rivera x Dodson.

 

[Scurvydawg]

Shevchenko vs Usman? Throw a wig on kamaru and tell him not go over 30% and we got a fight.

Diego 100%, the guy always throws down.

 

[steny]

Rivera v Dodson

 

[RustyShacleford]

either of the top bw fights would be appropriate...but I got a bad feeling Esparza is gonna find her way back on the main card.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

lmao back in the good ole xyence days a spike tv UFN looked like a 2014/2018 nye ppv card

 

[jeskola]

not sure why everyone is sleeping on Cody Stamann. 17-1, 3-0 UFC, 10-fight win streak, beat the uber hyped prospect Tom Duquesnoy.

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

Honestly my pick would be Jim Miller vs Alex White

One of the bantamweight fights
