UFC 231: Rate the Card

[UL]

pretty crap

of course the main event is solid
but am i watching this live at 5am? nope

 

[Joseph_McBride]

8/10 overall, 8/10 ppv wise.

Sucks Moicano/Bektic is off, but glad Gadleha/Nina is off the main card.

Ppv is better now. All 5 fights feature former FOTN winners. But, sherdoggers gonna bitch & moan anyways.

 

[Evangelion]

I swear it's Brazilian thing. My wife can do that too, no idea how but I'm not complaining.


TS, I rate the card 3/10.

There are only 3 fights I want to see. The card is weak because there is no proper main event and there are 2 featherweight fights on main card, plus a WMMA fight.

It's not good.

Ortega vs Holloway isn't a proper main event?

Wtf it's one of the best fights that can be made in mma.

Why the fuck are some of you even watching mma?

 

[crowarrior]

Would you be happier if I change it to co-main event? The card is missing a big fight. As of now, the Holloway fight is the only fight worthy of being on a PPV main card.

It's a really weak PPV.

Well I agree with you on everything else, card is indeed very weak if you take main event away, but i just tought it was harsh thing to say it about main event in particular

9/10, fantastic card, only 2 fights i'm not invested at

100%
some fucking idiots here don't care about the sport, if there's no "big name" the card automatically sucks

considering the fights currently booked in MMA, this card has 2 (Holloway-Ortega and JJ-Shevchenko) of the best 4 (other 2 being Jones-Gus and Cyborg-Nunes)

5/10

 

[MMA2019]

The nerve of UFC to sell this as a pay per view.
This should be on Fox.

 

[MMA2019]

LOL UFC selling this crap to the Canadians.

Are you buying the ppv? Would u buy the ppv if it was the only way to see it live?

For me, that's the standard for a PPV event. I'm as hardcore as the next guy, but I could miss this whole card on Saturday and catch up Sunday, and not lose any sleep. Not the same for Jones-Gus, Anderson-Stylebender, even TJ-Cejudo.

Desiring a bit of intrigue from a $70 PPV event doesn't make you any less of a fan.

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

6 / 10 at best from me. A bit top heavy but some decent scraps throughout.

Most anticipated bouts:

- Holloway/Ortega
- Shevchenko/Jędrzejczyk
- Oliveira/Nelson
- Manuwa/Santos
- Katona/Lopez

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Main card is an 8 for me. Prelims are underwhelming minus Burns vs. OAM.

 

[Willek]

Ya Boi will become My Boy if he kills Elias.

 

[Bartinho]

Main event 9/10, remaining card 6/10

 

[drbolony]

Fire/10

Littered with fun match ups top to bottom.

That main and Co main are just




Fierra x Ronson: fire
Laprise x Lima: fire
Katona x Lopez: fire
Clark x Rakic: OK, Def not bad
OAM x Burns: fire
Anders x Theo: hope Anders sleeps em, probably won't
Chookagian x Eye: meh
Gadelha x Ansaroff: ok
Manuwa x Santos: fire
Dawodu x Bochniak: just bleed
Oliviera x Nelson: very underrated match up
Bullet x JJ: fire
Holloway x Ortega: Outstanding!

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

5.5/10

Above average for UFC

 

[yeguiza]

why so much wmma in between fights?

 

[MuayThaiBX]

6/10 overall. A few bright spots but ho-hum for the most part.

I'm a brazilian living in Brazil, we don't have PPV.
Let's say i was living in US though, i'd probably pay for it. Sure. To me it's a fantastic card, much better than UFC 230 for example.

If Ortega-Holloway doesn't intrigue you, you're less of a fan, no way around it.
I'm less of a boxing fan than many guys here on the SD boxing board, but at least i assume that and would never post such stupid thing as the post i referred to.

Oliveira bless.

Who’s this girl? I need to know for “research purposes”

LOL UFC selling this crap to the Canadians.

I can’t convince my buddies to go cause the card sucks and decent tickets are over $200 usd.

Nose bleeds are $170+ ... UFC obviously thinks us Canadians are suckers and we’ll buy any crap they give us because so far we have done exactly that.
