It's funny how the UFC gets two divisions that no one cares about and puts them both on a PPV card for the title. At least when Mighty Mouse was champ they knew to put him on fight nights but the fact that they think if they put two title fights on a card and call it a PPV is comical. I literally don't care who wins any of these fights and below the two title fights are fights with almost no value. I guess Calvillo will get a title shot with a win in a division no one cares about but that's about it.

Plat vs Means is the main event.

Mouse headlined maybe half a dozen PPV's... quit an impressive collection of the lowest PPV's ever. :D

Often coupled with other title shots. If you need to pair a title fight with another one that division shouldn't exist.

So true, expect hate from the white knights incoming
 
Solid card. Will watch. Wish Robbie Lawler were still on it.

Maybe they'll stop doing that if the PPV numbers are to low.
Then again, maybe ESPN wants them to do it?

Looks like they did 4 of them with just him headlining a card before they learned their lesson. Would be even worse if those events had a 2nd title fight & still got those shit numberz.

  • 09/05/15 UFC 191 Johnson vs Dodson II 115,000
  • 04/25/15 UFC 186 Johnson vs Horiguchi 125,000
  • 09/27/14 UFC 178 Johnson vs Cariaso 205,000 (shout out to an up n coming McGregor boosting Mouse's buys. Cowboy/Alvarez too.
  • 06/14/14 UFC 174 Johnson vs Bagautinov 115,000

Yeah it will be interesting to see how this one does. If it's low that shows how crap both divisions are that putting on two title fights doesn't even get views.
 
shogun craig should be headlining a freespn card.
the rest of the fights could even be under that IMO
a few good fights but not worth my milk money to buy that shit

I wouldn't even consider that a main event on a fight card tho. Their first fight was kinda crap to begin with.

Just bet the house on shev, and save yourself the $60. Go golfing instead
 
Also curious to see Joaquin Buckley's followup to his viral KO.

DJ wasn't on 177, 179, 180, or 206.
 
So don’t watch it then and wait for a card you do want to see.
 
No matter who they put on the UFC 255 card it will be hard for it to gain a lot of interest since its only a week after the most anticipated fight Islam vs RDA.
 
Never watched much FLW, but Figueiredo is JBG
