I think the wait will be worth it. A pretty impressive debut card for Paramount numbered events! Im thinking of throwing a party

Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett (Interim LW C)
Kayla Harrison (C) vs Amanda Nunes
Sean Omalley vs Song Yadong
Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs Derrick Lewis
Arnold Allen vs Jean Silva

Natalia Silva vs Rose Namajunas
Umar Nurmogomedov vs Deiveson Figuredo
Ateba Gautier vs Andrey Pulyaev
Michael Johnson vs Alexander Hernandez
Nikita Krylov bs Modestas Bukauskas
Alex Perez vs Charles Johnson
Josh Hokit vs Denzel Freeman
Ricky Turcios vs Cameron Smotherman

Personally I know of every fighter except Gautier and Pulyaev. Some terrific matchups. Some will talk bad about the merit of the main and co main but to me the whole thing looks incredible
 
I'm hella excited for Kayla vs Amanda! Also interested in Waldo vs Hot Balls, Natalia vs Rose, and Umar. Pulling for Paddy, even though I'm not interested in Gaethje. And I never want to see O'Malley fight again.

Is Michael Johnson the guy who did a jump-spin-kick knockout while his other foot was being held by his opponent, who caught his kick?

Yup…..that’s a banger for sure. Set aside the good whiskey for this one
 
Imagine putting the "greatest female ufc fighter of all time" as the co main headlined by an interm fight that shouldn't even be booked
The WMMA goat who retired and is brought back in a lame attempt to resuscitate the division that no one cares about? Against a buff grappler who beat soccer moms for the better part of her career? Like.. who is her best win? Pena (one of the worst champs in the sport)? Geriatric Holly Holm?

Oh… And that Pena once beat the WMMA goat.

I don't even really care for WMMA, but I still think it's bizarre they used the Paramount kick off for the Nunes/Harrison fight. I would have let Nunes have a warm up fight and given Kayla some can to crush for a layup first, and it was the perfect fight the for the White House event. If Nunes wins now, it'll just be another rematch in 5 months.

The recent announcements are just setting things up for that card it seems.
 
I think they are waiting until the new year but UFC is going to strip Ilia and make this fight for undisputed gold.

There's no reason not to. They can easily justify giving Ilia the title shot when he comes back in 26 if he comes back or they can book him at 170 against Islam for the white house card and if he loses he can still reclaim his LW strap.

Plus then UFC doesn't have to use the interim tag for Gaethje or Paddy.

It's Win-win-win-win.
