Hot Take UFC 324 is bloody stacked!

[Ladder Master]

This event is far from stacked, and is 5/10 material.

enough about your mom, lets talk about ufc now

 

[Squintz]

“Stacked”

 

[JKS]

Isn’t Rico V suppose to be on this card too?

I'll def pretend i watched it, then chime in after i read the results.

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

Really the only stacked parts of this are O'Malley vs Yadong and Arnold Allen vs Jean Silva

Gaethje vs Paddy is a good fight but the fact that it's an interim belt without Tsarukyan or Oliveira taking part makes it pretty disgraceful

 

[Deathmask]

Eh, 6.5/10.

 

[DoctorStoppage]

It’s a good card but I wouldn’t call it stacked

 

[Dionysian]

Why is Umar/Figgy not on the main card? Below Allen/Silva??

One of these fights is for a contender for the belt while the other isn't...

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.

True from a marketing standpoint but still a loss for meritocracy considering Arman is further ahead than either of these contenders

 

[Kwic]

Looks good for a ufc fight night.

 

[tucan89]

Yo who got a link ?

 

[FriskyRandy]

Very very very good card.

Maybe not great, but dam close.

Im excited.

 

[laleggenda27]

The prelims are deep with good fights, but the main is a VERY average ppv card. The main event could easily be the third fight on a ppv.

And no TS, we can't just gloss over the main and co-main. Those are by far the most important aspects of any card.

Even if we ignore Paddy's fake #5 ranking, the idea of creating an unnecessary interim title fight between #4 and #5 is outrageous. And it's made even more absurd by the fact that #2 and #3 are fighting each other 6 weeks later. I don't even need to get into the Arman situation.

 

[El Fernas]

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.

Looks like Harrison weight cuts to 135 are numbered, they are probably striking while its hot with her as champion and still able to make the weight, and that timeline is perfect for a rematch at the white whouse card if the fight is good.

 

[Otto!]

very decent card!

 

[Streeter]

Only real "wow" fight is Kayla - Nunes. But imo Nunes squares her even now . Nunes is just as big as Kayla but many times more skilled .

Its a solid card n worth watching even planing around if your a hardcore but its not like some of the crazy cards like the first 2 msg cards were .

 

[Luthien]

Hopefully this is the new normal quality that we can expect

 

[SuperAlly]

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

Because hardly anyone cares

You are aware that "the greatest female ufc fighter of all time" PPVs have stunk the joint out in terms of numbers.

Its cool that you and a few others care, but surely you can understand that there is actually very little interest for this

I can't believe the Umar Figgy fight is not main event for example. But there must be reasons

 

[SuperAlly]

I’m old school so yeah that isn’t stacked

Agree. Some goos fights. Some lame ones. And fight order is off.

 

[SuperAlly]

I'm still hoping that the UFC corrects the bout order, and puts Umar's fight below the 2 title fights in the #3 spot on the main card.

Umar's fight should be above O'Malley's fight. If that fight is indeed on the undercard, and they give the O'Malley/Song winner the next title shot... that's crazy.
