Media UFC 318 card preview

[Harlekin]

Poirier vs Holloway 2 was an awesome fight.
Has the potential to be foty with Porier needing surgery, being old and not training as much.
Rest is a bit meh

Honestly, it gives me vibes to a FOX Fight Night cards.

Great on tv for free, but, a bit of a downer for a PPV card. I will say Aliskerov vs. Ferreira is . That co-main not so much .

Phillips looks like Amanda Nunes with a hormone therapy beard in that picture

 

[SamuraiBro]

That is not a pay per view card, holy shit that’s bad lmao.

 

[VAfan]

i can't see how anyone buys these cards these days. I mean the main events are barely interesting.

 

[Bradillac]

First time I’ve looked at this card, and holy shit this is awful. That main event is a complete joke.

Has everyone who won the BMF title been KTFO in their next fight?

 

[Ladder Master]

That is barely worth a stream.

 

[CieloLuce]

That is barely worth a stream.

Damn dawg . Thank you for the chuckle.

Crazy how weak the supporting card is for that level of main event. UFC execs seriously smoking that strange shit.

Outside of the BMF and Poirier's retirement, nothing is at stake here.
Allen and Vettori are in relatively similar rankings and situations. Same for Aliskerov and Ferreira, who are good fighters outside the rankings. Same for Vinicius and Phillips, who have relatively similar rankings. Same for Ricci and Ribas. Magny and Gunnar are old grapplers who used to be ranked
I think the UFC doesn't want to have that many six-figure fighters on a card. Once you are out of your 12+12 DWCS contract or a 24+24 contract, you start fighting less often

If Poirier wins the BMF belt and then retires then what? The UFC can just make a BMF title fight at any weight class? Give it to Aspinall maybe to keep his interim belt company?

On a side note, JDM is now the lineal BMF. And with how scrappy he is, it's a title well-earned

 

[ChrisBenoit]

No way Allen and Vettori is co main. At least 3 more fights to be added

 

[Kwic]

I hope Phillips has a nickname of "baby Jesus"

 

[empsim]

Awful for a PPV card.

I thought they'd just drop that BMF bullshit after Holloway didn't want to stand & bang against Topuria and got KO'd anyway.

 

[Luthien]

BMF title Just so Dustin can retire and feel like he won a belt Hysterical

Definitely worth $85.
