UFC 229 looking terrible besides main event

[FlyingDeathKick]

First off it's kind of weird that they don't seem to be promoting this fight at all... Also Conor seems unusually quiet.

The card so far...

Lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov(c) vs. Conor McGregor [a]
Heavyweight Derrick Lewis vs. Alexander Volkov
Flyweight Sergio Pettis vs. Jussier Formiga
Light Heavyweight Ovince Saint Preux vs. Dominick Reyes
Welterweight Ryan LaFlare vs. Tony Martin
Women's Bantamweight Lina Länsberg vs. Yana Kunitskaya
Women's Strawweight Michelle Waterson vs. Felice Herrig
Bantamweight Sean O'Malley vs. José Alberto Quiñónez

Mcgregor cards are usually stacked, there's a few other bouts that have been announced as well and they're garbage. Only room for a couple more fights on the card and the main event is the only big fight. Looks like Rousey fight card quality.

 

[Raksas]

Why wait until all the fights are announced when you can complain about a card that is still in the works.

 

[Espresso]

I like the card tbh.

Looking forward to Omalley and Reyes.
And Volkov vs BB should be a good banger.

If we somehow manage to get Ferguson at 229, i would consider it an amazing card

 

[waiguoren]

wtf are you talking about

other than the chick fights the card is stacked

even the chicks are some of the better fem fighters

 

[Killroy]

Derrick Lewis vs Volkov is a good fight to make, so is Pettis vs Formiga.
OSP is a bit hit or miss but a good test for Reyes.
I don't see the problem with this card, it's not final either, so we'll see.

Why stack a PPV when you know it will do over a million buys with just the headliner. Plus Conor doesn’t want any PPV earners making money off his name anymore

 

[DC23]

Needs more WMMA.

Would like to see a couple of ladies co-main event.

Seems alright to me

Lewis and Volkov should be good . I like Lina Länsberg .

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Gray Maynard vs Nik Lentz will be FOTY

 

[krelianx]

I'd put O'Malley way up the card. The kid is a massive star in the making, he's always fireworks, and he's the most interesting prospect in the card.

The rest of the card is pretty mediocre. I hope they can add a few high profile fights.

 

[empsim]

if it stays like this, yeah its pretty bad

 

[chukutee]

Yeah, a card needs some 40 year old guys from Pride in order to be good

 

[AtaTheCrow]

we will watch it anyway

 

[Thc Sargon]

It won’t do a million buys.

 

[THEGOATOFMMA]

People in this thread saying the card is good...what the fuck

The card sucks and the reason is because Conor has a new demand, he doesn’t want other fighters making PPV points off his name, which is smart.

 

[Bestonian]

i'm rly surprised they didnt co-main sean o malley on this. dude has all the potential to take mcg's (and diaz' potheads) following after he retires due to his loss to khabib. why would they not give him more exposure

 

[ChaelSonnen]

And Volkov vs BB should be a good banger.

I'd hold my horses on that one. Volkov is the best point fighter in the UFC, he won't get hit this fight (unless flash KO'd). This can potentially lead to a fight alike Ngannou v BB

 

[Toco]

wtf are you talking about

other than the chick fights the card is stacked

even the chicks are some of the better fem fighters

no this is not a STACKED card. it's not that bad, but stacked?

 

[waiguoren]

no this is not a STACKED card. it's not that bad, but stacked?

Pettis and Formiga are two of the best in the world

O'Malley is a very good prospect in the deepest division

Volkov is a future title challenger

Reyes is the top prospect at 205

Martin is an absolute beast, easily has top 10 potential but LaFlare is a solid vet

Seriously, replace the chick fights and this is stacked.
