UFC Noche - Thoughs? Any bangers?

[JPOMMA]

I don’t see any threads about the card that’s coming up. Everything else under the sun is being discussed, from which fighter was most “alpha” (dfk?) to whether Conor will fight at the WH.

But what about the real stuff, you know, MMA fights coming up in some hours. Any potential bangers? Any prospects to watch?

Anyone still interested in UFC fights or is a nepo baby beating up a backyard wrestler getting all the attention? (j/k)

EDIT: any gifs of fighters to watch on this card would be awesome.

I will skip it. Watch just the best parts the next day. The main fight is obviously excellent. Other than that, I will check if Todorović wins his (squash) match and if Dumas gets his shit pushed in. Again.

A lot of no name fighters on the card that makes The Contender Series look like a PPV.
Main card is okay, but the prelims look like dogshit.

 

[Tweak896]

Lopes/Silva is an obvious banger.

CDF/Henandez has potential.
Stoltzfus/Gastelum has potential but Gastelum is inconsistent and fading...

I'm don't see many boring fighters, so there's a chance the event is another fight night dark horse.

 

[Mammothman]

The ME for sure, I haven't paid too much attention to the other fights

If you don't see any threads about an event, it's usually because the event is shit. There have been several threads about how shit this event is on paper, so that should have clued you in. Good main event, and that's about it.

All that said, it's free card that starts early (3 PM prelims/ 6 PM main card), and sometimes these fight nights turn out being very entertaining. A great excuse to tune the wife out and get a head start on Saturday beer drinking early.

Card looks solid enough. Historically, cards without a ton of name value will produce better fights than the name heavy ones.

Man, it's times like this I'm glad I was cheesy and married my best friend. My wife is awesome.

I think you mentioned everything that could be a banger on paper, the UFC dropped the ball with this Noche card, there is an Embedded series this week...for Canelo vs Crawford, LOL, Dana White is on the Boxing events this week, just pray for the main events not overslapping.

Main event is as banger as it gets.
On paper.

 

[JPOMMA]

We’ve come such a long way from the days of being starved of any MMA. Now there is so much of it that a major league card gets no attention whatsoever. Granted, quality has suffered as cards get diluted and it’s hard to keep track of all the fighters…

 

[austinblair]

Jean Silva is going to beat the shit out of Diego Lopes. If you rewatch vs Movsar Diego doesn’t do good fighting backwards and Jean Silva is pressure pressure pressure.

Trying to avoid going head to head with Canola vs Crawford.

That sneaky bastard DW.

Bangers from top to bottom, playboy

 

[JoeRowe]

I think Gordon/Garcia will bang

Some random cards turn out like that. I remember watching a UFC China card last year full of unknown names (to me) that really delivered. There was even a nasty head kick ko in the WMMA fight.

Dr Shi Ming
I pulled an all nighter for that one

Yeah Dr. KO, that was amazing, though she hasn’t done much since. Looked up her gym last time I was in China. But yeah that card was good, I had zero expectations.

Maybe this weekend’s card will be the same? I was surprised there was zero talk of it in the forum. I didn’t even know there was a card this w/e until googled it. And yet there is a 4k thread about something completely irrelevent. I don’t get it.

 

[HNIC215]

Yes, I have some thoughts.


I'd like to bang her... and her... and her.

Wasn’t the kind of bangers I had in mind, but those work too. As long as the fights actually deliver in the cage too.
