Hot Take UFC 325 is a glorified fight night card, prove me wrong

[whocares]

Aside from the main event that's what it is. In case anyone thought that ridiculously long vacation the UFC just took was them planning a big year and holding back their horses for some exciting cards, nope. They didn't do that at all. Toms eyeballs are a bigger story than this shitbum card, only one has any threads on the main page. Main card is trash, the rest of the event is nobodies. "We're giving you cheaper events so FUCK YOU" is so on brand for Dana White, hell his own mother tried to get him clipped.

I definitely won't be spending $79.99 Saturday Night

 

[Natural Order]

It's as good, if not better than last week imo.

Not amazing, but solid.

 

[Ares Black]

It's a kick-ass card

 

[Koala]

It's a local fight night card (a good one) with a championship fight on top of it
Aaron Tau is signed to the UFC or is it Road to UFC?

Volk vs Lopes II - A solid fight, will be good action and two elite guys but a weak main event and a fight no one asked for and doesnt make sense. Should be Evloev but even Lerone would have been better. The fuck?

Hooker vs St. Denis - a fun action packed fight vs two bloodthirsty fringe top 10 guys that will never have the skill or talent to be contenders. Feels more like a showcase prelim or undercard opener. Good fight but a joke of a co main.

Fiziev vs Ruffy - Again two guys with exciting styles that will never have what it takes to be contenders. Both are fringe top 10/15 types but dynamic strikers. Fun but not relevant at all towards their division.

Tai Tuivasa vs Texeira - Pass...do not care, but I get it Tai is a boy of the people.

Quilan Sakillad vs Jamie Mullarkey - very low level fight for a PPV main card.

Prelims look almost entirely terrible.

Card gets a 3/10 for me..

 

[Milenkovic]

All aussie cards are shit but those top 3 fights are awesome

 

[VinceArch]

Diego Lopes is the first fighter of 2026 to receive a VERY unwarranted title shot and it'll be interesting to see how they try to fuck over Movsar once more. I can't think of anyone who wanted this rematch.

It's absolutley not the fight I want, but nontheless it should be a good fight.

Neither will I brother

 

[Tp4myBungHole]

I payed $50/yr for Walmart+ which included Paramount+ so i am not complaining. TS sounds like a BITCH.

 

[JoeRowe]

Better than UFC 122 lol.

Its top-heavy but its free for anyone who paid for a subscription last week. And the rest of the cards in FEB look solid asf, especially next week's Apex card with 3 main-event worthy fights atop the card.

 

[VinceArch]

Volk vs Lopes II
Ilia vs Gaethje
Islam vs Usman

Welcome to the new norm.

At least Gaethje earned it. Dana wanted Paddy to go in and tie Gaethje up and submit him but instead it was a lesson learned that there are levels to this.

Yea seriously... you can't really whine about $8/month.

We need to come together as a society to speak in one unified voice and say "no more Tafas"
