What's your opinion of the UFC 228 card?

You take these and make a main card, would be pretty decent:

WW - (C) Tyron Woodley 18-3-1 v (2)Darren Till
17-0FW - (14)Yair Rodríguez 10-2 v (15)Zabit Magomedsharipov
12-1BW - (5)Jimmie Rivera 21-2 v (7)John Dodson 20-9
15-1BW - (8)Aljamain Sterling 15-3 v (10)Cody Stamann
17-1WW - Abdul Razak Alhassan 9-1 v Niko Price

Maybe even keep Schevchenko fight since she is actually a good MMA artist

The 3 straight wmma fights on a ppv is a joke. Why is Rivera on the prelims over this shit

I agree : I think the Rivera/Dodson fight should have been on the main card and also Sterling/Stamann on the maid card too.
I think 3 WMMA fights in a row is a mistake to be honest. Esparza vs Suarez should've been on the Prelims absolutely.
 
On paper it seems pretty thin, and I have to question the sense of a majority WMMA PPV. But we've all seen snoozefest "stacked" cards, so who knows?
 
Not one I will be buying. UFC just has too many fight cards and not enough big names to fill them. When UFC has to rely on Brock Lesnar again for ratings, times are tough. Only McGregor has real star power, but what happens to that if the Russian beats him?

It's an average card especially if you are going there since then the bout order don't matter. Sherdog just loves to hate wamma but if you like fighting jessica vs karolina should be a great for the 1 contender, Nicco vs valentina also a good match for the belt, Suarez is the future at 115 and carla actually looked good her last fight too.

Idiots like you need to go back and rewatch your PRIDE tapes and stop preventing the sport from progressing.... Let me guess... you bitch about "casuals" all the time? Well checking the results the next morning officially makes you a casual. And casuals like you should shut the fuck up and not bother people on this site.

6/10 Overall
10/10 Main event if it doesn't turn into Till vs Wonderboy or Tyron vs Wonderboy

Two title fights means it's not trash.

Plus Alhassan-Price and Rivera-Dodson look solid. Good card.

When I read two title fights, I legitimately had to go back and look at the card to see what the 2nd title fight was...
 
The UFC hates Tyron so much they chuck all the women's fights on his card. Poor dude has no chance of doing well with this card. Hope he fucks Till up so the UFC lose the hype around another young fighter.
 
Holey Crap I hate WMMA in the UFC. Three on the main card. WTF?
There in NOTHING that any female fighter could do to possibly keep any of the FLW males in the UFC from getting victimized.
 
Its a deep card, but heavily dependent on Till making weight.

And the bout order is just awful. Switch out the Suarez/Esparza fight for Alhassan/Price and it would look much better.

Going to a fight live is awesome, just want to get that out of the way. Have a good time.

The stacked prelims make up for the weak main card. Usman serving as backup means you should have a good main event no matter what. I will be in vegas betting on the card, hope its a good one

Yeah, when youre banking on the only fight worth a shit, it typically happens. And its tyron for christs sake.

Hoping it fucking wont cos both were awful. Though to be fair no one has looked particularly good fighting against Wonderboy. Afraid Tyron might just use his wrestling though and make it a lay and pray fight. Hope Till ko's him stiff
 
3 WMMA fights and Tyrun

No thanks
 
Its a solid card. If I were in the Dallas area I would definitely go.
 
Fights I am interested in:

Tyron Woodley vs Darren Till
Yair Rodríguez vs Zabit Magomedsharipov
Jim Miller vs Alex White (only because I have met Jim Miller and he is a awesome guy!! really cool person).

Apart from those 3 fights I don't care about anything else, just doesn't excite me enough.

War Woodley, I hope he smashes Till
 
I would be half surprised if their isn't a riot in Dallas over this.

How is any MMA fan going to sit through three consecutive chick fights? 2x3's + 1x5, those poor bastard fans are going to have to sit through 55 minutes of slow motion soft porn. FFS, people are going to a UFC event to watch fights. The time between fights; and you are probably 2 hours plus since seeing dudes throw down.

If the UFC won't provide real fights, the audience in Dallas will.
