What do You Think About The Co-Main of UFC 242?

[Sansnom]

Barboza Vs Felder

Kind of weak. Both guys aren't title contenders. Should be a good fight but I think this card needed a second big matchup after Khabib/Poirier.

I'm a bit disappointed. Other than Khabib Vs Poirier, there aren't many fights i'm interested in tbh. A big co-main would have solidified this card.

What do you Sherbros think?

 

[KingBeef]

It's an ok fight but not co-main worthy on this card. Who knows though, it may be a just bleed special.

 

[GrayArea]

One of the most pointless rematches in recent memory. Should be entertaining but there’s plenty of top 10-25 LWs that could have been mixed and matched with these two instead.

As far as it being a co-main event—that’s an absolute joke. It seems they are trying to gauge how much Khabib can carry a card on his own here.

 

[SpoonDogg]

I'm just happy its on at a reasonable hour in the UK. 7pm main card start time.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Would be a solid main card fight or FN headliner
Trash as a PPV co-main

 

[EndlessCritic]

Makhachev vs Ramos and CDF vs Taisumov are both co-main event worthy anyways...

Honestly I think the co main isn’t that strong but I believe people are undervaluing fights 3-5

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Poirier is cool but even the main for me could've been a lot better... (Tony Ferguson). Random rematch as the co-main and not much else, it's good though. This will be a good test to see how big of a draw Khabib is.

Amen, brother!

 

[Chok Sok Te]

Meh only gonna tune in for co and main, at a decent time this week at least

 

[KingBeef]

This will be a good test to see how big of a draw Khabib is.

I bet he won't jump into that crowd and start some shit, lol.

Damnit. Completely forgot about the start time for this card.

Early Prelims: 10 A.M. ET
Prelims: 12 P.M. ET
Main card: 2 P.M. ET.

Not too bad.

I guess i'll be doing some day drinking.

 

[Paynebringer]

I'm Ok with it both tough fighters I've come to respect Felders toughness and make no mistake he can pop you and discombobulate you, but going Edson because he bested Paul before and Edson is as tough as they come just check his fight resume...

 

[sdpdude9]

Pretty weak co main, more like a fight night co main imo. But it should be a fun fight nonetheless.

 

[Lawrence]

Khabib or Dustin drop out.... Ferg pokes his eye puttin on his shades...

Felder steps in to fight for a belt after being screwed by that Real Estate guy last time.

And New !

His chin is suspect as hell though. He’s super dangerous until you hit him then he folds up like a lawn chair on the beach when it starts raining

 

[KawhiDoh]

It's likely to be pretty entertaining, that's what matters to me.

 

[theTKDguy]

mmm not really. they are both great ppv prelim fights

 

[EndlessCritic]

mmm not really. they are both great ppv prelim fights

Ramos: 4 fight win streak
Machachev: 5 fight win streak

CDF: 4 fight win streak
Taisumov: 5 fight win streak

If those aren't PPV calibur fights, then nothing is. They're streaking contenders fighting each other.

it's the modern day of the UFC. they do 40+ events pr year, they're in a big growth phase to achieve world domination. it's impossible to make every PPV stacked

Ramos: 4 fight win streak
Machachev: 5 fight win streak

CDF: 4 fight win streak
Taisumov: 5 fight win streak

who did they beat tho?

i agree they are great fighters but not names yet, they haven't fought real top opposition either. edson and felder are still clearly ahead, both resume and recognition wise.

So much this. Finally an ok card in reasonable time for us European fans.
