UFC 306 has to be the weakest PPV fight card ever..

[ElLunico]

I love the main event simply because it's a match up with the clear top 2 in the division currently. But even that match up lacks the star power as Merab is not really a name outside of hardcore fans and Sean isn't as big a name as he thinks he is.

I respect the skills of the ladies in the co main but I just don't have much interest in WMMA simply because there's just not enough talent, the level of competition is just too shallow.

Ortega-Lopes should be a fun fight. Aside from the main event that's the only fight I'm looking forward to.

I dont know any of the other fighters on the card I'm gonna be honest.. I've seen a little bit of Zelhuber but the rest have no clue.

It lacks serious star power and heavy hitters.. For a " one time spectacle" it's a shame this is what they putting out.

Which PPV card was worse than this?

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

It's a bit meh but this is a shocking statement from a 2014 account.. Weakest ppv fight card ever? Not even close.

There have been worse ppv cards even within the past year but I'm going to bring up a random terrible one.. UFC 177..
Dillashaw vs Soto (Soto was making his UFC debut).
Tony vs Castillo (Tony was on a 2 fight winstreak, well before he had all the hype)
Correia vs Bazler...
CDF vs Ramsey Nijem
Medeiros vs Damon Jackson...

Jackson was making his debut against Medeiros who was 0-2-1 in the promotion.
CDF was 1-0 in the UFC...

Yeah..

Would it kill you to list the fights?

 

[Egészségére!]

It’s thin but far from the worst ever

Then again I’m a pretty big fan of O’Malley’s fighting. Anything happens to that fight and they’re f’ked.

It is really bad considering its for The Sphere and within 6 weeks of that theres 307 that has Poatan, Aldo, Aljo and Wonderboy on it and then 308 which is like 300 level.

this is ufc noche a love letter to mexican fighting you're not gonna believe how much we have spent on this thing .. this is the ufc at the sphere, a 1 and done and believe me when i tell you nobody ever in history is going to top what we are going to do here

 

[McGeezle]

301, 297, 293, 289, 283, 279 were all worse and then there's also cards like 159, 169, 177, 179, 184, 186, 190, 191, 192, 208, 219, 221, 222, 224, 240 and like 100 more but you get the idea.

Nonsense

 

[OldBoy91]

Nowhere near the weakest.

I suppose it's a little underwhelming because of how much the card was built up.

But it makes sense when you think about it. Pink goof and co. have been promoting how awesome the venue and production will be at every turn, promoting the actual fights not so much. Even O'Malley has expressed disappointment in how little promotion he's got in comparison to the sphere itself.

Plus, there's only so many Mexican fighters people get excited for and the UFC said they would fill the card with Mexicans.

Bingo, it's a Mexican themed card so expect those fighters there.

 

[gentel]

Bruh directly after it there's UFC 307 with Khalil-Pereira and Pennington-Pena, that's way worse

Merab vs O'Malley is an S-tier matchup up there with Max vs Topuria

 

[The_Renaissance]

Yeah it's not amazing agreed.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Hyperbole, it's weak but not top 15 worst ppv on paper

Lmao you can't be serious, that's just the main event the rest of 307 is amazing aldo vs bautista and sterling vs evloev

 

[AmericanMMA]

Ufc 151 did ok in ufc

 

[ExitLUPin]

It's weak and 308 is STACKED..... Why is 306 the one in the sphere? Ilia and Max should be headlining and the rest of that card is the most stacked PPV in a long ass time I mean look at that card for 308 and it's not even done yet

 

[Alpha_T83]

Would it kill you to list the fights?

On a philosophical note, I would argue that if we on the forums need to have the fights listed to us, that probably supports his point that it's a weak card. The whole card is basically carried by the main event. Diego Lopes is interesting but not enough to round out the card.

 

[tymikeson]

UFC 306 is showcasing the sphere more than any particular fight. Its the venue that makes it intriguing.

even o'malley says he is getting really annoyed becasue the promotion is more about the sphere than his fight with merab.

 

[empsim]

Nah, it can't be one of the weakest ever with that main event. There have definitely been worse ppv cards.

 

[markys00]

Yup, UFC is dying confirmed.

You heard it here first!!

 

[Tweak896]

Blame whoever rents out the sphere, it sounds like it costs way too much for UFC to even rent it one night. That said if the card stays the same there's a few good fights and Sean/Merab carry the card.
