Without Condit/Maia UFC 202 went from epic to pretty good

[IamStryker]

Here is the current card

Welterweight Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor
Light Heavyweight Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira
Welterweight Rick Story vs. Donald Cerrone
Welterweight Tim Means vs. Sean Strickland
Bantamweight Cody Garbrandt vs. Takeya Mizugaki
Women's Bantamweight Raquel Pennington vs. Elizabeth Phillips
Welterweight Hyun Gyu Lim vs. Sultan Aliev
Welterweight Alberto Uda vs. Marvin Vettori
Welterweight Neil Magny vs. Lorenz Larkin
Featherweight Artem Lobov vs. Chris Avila
Bantamweight Ning Guangyou vs. Marlon Vera

Still a strong card but really lost a lot when it lost Condit/Maia. Those of you looking for an alternate UFC 200 are just going to have to keep waiting.

USADA and injuries are still chomping at the bit to diminish the card too.

Maybe they can put Sam Alvey on it and it will go back to being epic

Maia backpacking Condit for 15 or now 25 minutes isnt gonna be entertaining anyway.

No way he is going to be able to do that in a 5 round fight. The fight just got better.

How come Rick Story is getting to fight cowboy like this?

Funniest thing I ever read on sherdog was some describing Story as looking like an unmasked gimp

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

why did they remove that fight??

I think Maia is in more danger of Condits striking than Maia actually being able to backpack him for 5 rounds. Maia has proven me wrong before but his time is running out.

They put it on a different card as a headliner.

I didn't get that fight either but it's probably payback for Cerrone's comments. "Oh so you come to fight and entertain and say that we don't treat you well? Here's a guy that 'll wrestle you, motherfucker, let's hear your ass after getting wrestlefucked to a majority decision"

Removing Maia from a card is always epic.

Nah Condit is way too disadvantaged physically and he's never been able to deal with takedowns. Its gonna be Brown vs Maia all over again. They should have matched Brown and Condit rather than sacrificing another striker to Maia

I don't think Maia has the gas to go full backpack for 25 minutes.

[pjswmkj]

I mean, you can just watch that fight a week later, it didn't go bye bye

Removing maia vs Condit AND alves vs iaquinta is what made it drop a notch
