UFC257 card is one of the weakest ever

It's the new business model: Don't put multiple fights that could each headline their own card. Terrible for the fans, but good for the UFC which is why they do it.

I know youre trolling right now so I will bite, yeah this card is weak if it werent for the main event which we already seen and I still see Conor beating Poirier. Conor is just better at what Poirier does which is boxing as his main striking. Chandler vs Hooker is not a fight I am thrilled about, not a fan of either guys. The rest of the fights are just shit.

There you go, you got me to bite troll, youre welcome.



Would be interesting to see this scenario happen and see what will dana say. No doubt that doofus cancels this shit card.

Not sure if trolling.

Pena, Mcmann, Eye, and Calderwood are all ranked, yet you think those are the mediocre/bad fights?

Meanwhile Marcin Prachnio is 0-3 in the UFC, with all three fights being first round finishes. He has absolutely no business in the UFC.

Yeah, for sure those are mediocre fights at best. Jessica Eye, Joanna Calderwood, and Sarah McMann are very underwhelming fighters.
 
Everyone will tune for Mcg, that's why there's a lot of shit fights before the main event and co-main.

i am interested in hooker vs Chandler.
 
OP put some respek on Ribas' name, smile and post fight interview

Makes up for the fights below her

We were all young dumb casuals at some point. However we're not now.

Also back then, every card was a big deal because there were only a couple cards a year. There was also no internet. We all know that if the fight ends in a first round KO, the animated gif will be circulating within five minutes. And if that's the case, and the rest of the card is just random fights with little value other then watching randos get CTE, than the card's inherent value begins to take a nose dive.

The problem with the UFC is that it's not like the good old days, of which you bring up... There was a true sense that anything could happen, and this was heightened by the fact that it only happened a few times a year. Now there's a card every week. They watered their shit down. And they expect us to line up like excited fanboys with money to burn, just to what? Watch one fight, when there's literally dozens of fights a month?

Zoomer my ass. I was watching in the early 90s and own fifty Pride FC dvds, and terabytes MMA spanning multiple promotions and decades.

It's a mediocre card (at best) and it should be labeled as such. I'm not gonna say it sucks. Nor am I gonna say it might not have some exciting finishes, but it's not great, and it's not good on paper because there's little to no title implications, outside of a couple fights. It's a ESPN card with an actuall PPV caliber fight at the top.

And that's okay. It's an okay card. There's no need to talk down to people for acknowledging it's not good.
 
No it's not. Casual bum.

Besides the main event, other good fights on the card:

Hooker/Chandler
Tsarukyan/Haqparast
Azaitar/Frevola (for Azaitar)
Sanchez/Muradov (for Muradov)
Evloev/Lentz (for Evloev)

Chandler-Hooker is a good co-main. Amanda Ribas is legit. I don't really know most of these people though. Hakeem Dawodu looked pretty good in his last fight (30-27 decision win over Zubaira Tukhugov, who spent the whole 3rd round running away from him). Not very excited for Eye-Calderwood.

Poirier-McGregor I was at featherweight iirc so this fight could be way different.

Hopefully they're not done adding to the card.

Dawodu is underrated. I signed my kids up for a striking seminar at their gym but it was cancelled ... was a bummer

They really put bum fights bellow Conor's name because they know he will sell it by himself

In some point, even the main event is weak, i mean, this fight happened once, we all saw what happened and what will happen again, in worst

Conor alone can sell the card, he doesn't need help and i don't like Conor. It won't get 1 million PPV buys because it won't air primetime usa and the election disaster will keep many eyes away.
 
Still better than Cowboy vs Conor where they had a woman with a 10-8 record as the co-main event

That's too bad! Unfortunately Dawodu has some kind of injury so he's off the card. Another bummer :(
