Nice to hear it billed as a number one contender fight for a change too!

 

Rob is gonna beat the shit out of that dude lmao

 

Damn 290 is stacked

Volk/Yair
Moreno/Pantoja
Whittaker/Du Plessis
Figueiredo/Kape
Nickel/Gore
Lawler/Price
Turner/Hooker

 

I would be surprised if he’s even able to touch Rob lol

 

Curtis Blaydes is always so so close to a title shot and could never get that one win

 

Sean Brady v Jack Della added to 290. Gonna be a fun card!

 

He didn't look comfortable at all in there.

 

Sounds like there’s some legitimate smoke to the PFL buying Bellator rumors

 

Looks like you got your wish this time at least lol Jack Hermansson forced out of main event fight against Brendan Allen at UFC card on June 3 - MMA Fighting

 

Obviously I don’t wish injury on anybody but yeah, I’m not disappointed to hear this!

 

RDA vs. Luque announced for July, that is going to be bonkers! I can’t wait.

 

As much as it’s spectacle and totally buffoonery, I’m thinking about ordering the BKFC card tonight. The UFC card is super weak outside of the main event and Rockhold/Perry, Alvarez/Mendes both sound like a ton of fun.

 

Definitely gunna stream that bkfc card for sure. Rockhold Perry is a fever dream matchup

 

I ordered it when I seen Eddie weighed in and looked like mini Ubereem

 

I’m not the biggest BKFC fan but some of these UFC cards are stretched so thin now. Especially the fight nights.

Tonight’s main event is good but a lot of these cards are being filled up with contender series guys (that didn’t look great on the show to begin with)

 

Yep. I’m also growing tired of the Apex. If they wanted to smaller shows in small venues around the country I’d be down, but the Apex is just so lifeless compared to when they are in front of live crowds.

 

I wouldn't mind these apex fight night cards if they were like mid-week or something like the Contender Series. I'm just not going to sit at home on a Saturday night to watch 5 hours of fights with guys I've never heard of (plus ONE significant fight). I know sometimes those cards end up exciting, but it's really hit or miss. Even the commentators seem unexcited a lot of times with no crowd and no stakes.

 

I thought where they did the Merab v Yan fight was awesome. Even if they did these shows there, that would be more than fine. But instead they’re cheapskates as usual!

 

Remember when only a few contracts got given out on contender series? Now almost everyone gets one so they can fill these crappy cards.

 

Totally fine with that stoppage. Got dropped and buckled multiple times.

 

MCGREGOR????????

 

In order of things happening that I didn’t expect to happen to things that I did expect:

Conor facing off with Perry
Conor being there
Rockhold’s chin literally not holding up/him quitting.

 

Conor is not fighting anytime soon haha

 

someone close to Rockhold needs to talk some sense into him
