what's your ideal UFC 225 Chicago ?

[SUBLIME FAN]

Super interested in seeing how this card gets built. Pretty sure I'm gonna try and make the trip so hopefully it's a nice card. How would you build it if you were in the matchmakers shoes ? Probably gonna be filled with Illinois and Chicago natives such as Curtis Blaydes, Belal Muhammad , Clay Guida, and of course Mr CM Punk.



Main Card (PPV)
Nate Diaz vs Eddie Alvarez
Stephen Thompson vs Darren Till
Curtis Blaydes vs Derek Lewis
CM Punk vs Mike Jackson
Calvin Kattar vs Renato Moicano

Preliminary Card (FOX Sports 1)
Niko Price vs Belal Muhammad
Clay Guida vs Lando Vanatta
Julian Marquez vs Jack Hermansson
Khalil Rountree vs Marcel Fortuna

Preliminary Card (Fight Pass)
Gray Maynard vs Arnold Allen
Hector Sandoval vs Jerrod Brooks
Andrea Lee vs Melinda Fabian

 

[Meathead Jock]

That would be the worst headliner of all time.

Throw T-Wood vs RDA as the main event and the rest of the card looks right.

 

[SimonNova]

CM Punk vs Mike Jackson belongs to the photobucket prelims

 

[ThatGuy7698]

Nate Diaz vs Eddie Alvarez

That fight is not main event worthy. I think you and I have been through this before.

Throw T-Wood vs RDA as the main event and the rest of the card looks right.

Please no. This is the opposite of what Chicago MMA fans want. Give us a good card. If a Chicago fighter like Lamas or Blaydes works out, then great; but think about it, we are the 3rd biggest market in the entire country and the UFC has made almost 0 effort to bring marquee matchups here.

Woodley vs RDA (Although I'm hoping for an early finish in Ortega/Frankie to let that happen)
Nate vs Eddie
Kelvin vs Brunson
Blaydes vs Lewis/Tybura (I just see this happening)
Bektic vs Kattar

Realistically this would be a tolerable card if were going by some of the PPV's were getting lately (obviously not for most of Sherdoggers who have too high of expectations) but yeah preferably a better headliner.As I said it's a realistic card but could be better.I'd be down but could be better and would like Woodley RDA like most,plus adding that would still be only 13.

I always appreciate your well thought out threads btw whether I agree with you or not which I usually do.I'm different than some as far as not giving a shit if I even see Diaz fight again but the rest of the card is really tight minus the Punk fight which is already all but inked anyway iirc so it is what it is.

The last time I saw a ufc event in Chicago the headliner was rashad va Phil Davis and I fell asleep in the crowd for a little bit so uhhh yea I would not complain if they booked Nate vs Eddie as the headliner

no WMMA

i like it

 

[Nightwish]

Moicano running for 3 rounds in the main card and yet people find a way to bash WMMA...

 

[Dsfdandan]

no WMMA

i like it

2 0-1 fighters on the main card of a PPV for the world’s premiere fight league,but they have penises so it’s cool.

[Joseph_McBride]

Nate vs Eddie
Max vs Edgar (or Ortega)
Cain vs Blaydes
Zombie vs Bektic
Anders vs Akhmedov

Lamas vs Fili
Grasso vs Esparza
Lando vs Klose
Diakese vs Trujillo

Punk/Jackson gets scrapped after one of them either gets hurt or misses weight. Get well soon tho

 

[LongDongSilver]

Nate don't deserve a headliner !!

that's stupid talk .. I think he fights Justin after he loses to dustin


dustin needs to fight lee after Justin btw.. Don't forget that shit
