Fun card for sure
Jan needs to wrestle
Ferg is going to get battered
Chiesa/Holland will be fun/strange/back and forth
Pereira is a wild man, who knows
Who knows what is going to happen in the Lewis fight.
Fight of year DP v Gaethje!

Shows that you don't need a title fight to build a great card.
No the BMF gimmick doesn't count

A great card's a great card. Would I prefer all fights drop a spot with a title fight added up top - sure... But yeah, no complaints. She stacked.
Is the BMF actually a happening thing in the main?
I'm usually the one pumping these cards up, but I might play the contrarian here - I think it's actually a fairly empty event in terms of significance. The main and co-main are really interesting fights with real meaning behind them, but from there none of the rest really matter a great deal.
What it should be is entertaining, I'll definitely give it that.

Somehow didn't realize wonderboy was fighting Periera. One thing this main card is is fun as *. Has the potential to be one of those all time great main event cards where the adrenaline doesn't get a chance to stop

Just watched Poirier-Gaethje 1 again on YouTube. Highly entertaining brawl. Gaethje has improved his fight IQ since then but Poirier has also gotten better over time. For mine Poirier edges it again owing to his slight reach advantage and superior footwork. Just feel he’s the better overall athlete.
Must say I wasn’t originally a fan of the BMF belt concept but the way the UFC is promoting it here just works. Two absolute dogs who’ve produced many memorable scraps for the company. Both worthy successors to Nate and Jorge.
I suspect Gaethje retires if he loses.

Completely ignoring the BMF nonsense personally 
It's been enough time since their last fight that not only have they both improved a lot in their overall games, but they've maybe also both lost a step. They both looked very hittable in their Oliveira and Chandler fights, but with their offence looking better than ever. If it goes 5 rounds they'll be a pair of absolutely battered men in that cage. Leaning to DP TKO.

Looks like Poirier is looking to avoid this as well - https://www.si.com/mma/2023/07/25/ufc-291-dustin-poirier-justin-gaethje-title-shot-on-the-lineCompletely ignoring the BMF nonsense personally

Both guys are true examples of that warrior mindset, for better or worse. There might be some crap here and there, especially during fight promo, but generally level-headed, decent guys who live that life; go into that cage prepared and willing not to come out.
Yeah I feel like wherever he grew up he was the toughest guy in town and even the big footballer dudes would have avoided him.
Pereira is ******* scary too, I've got Jan on the weekend though, if he does the smart thing and takes it to the canvas he should win well, good bet at 1.80 too.
Card is not bad overall, Jake Matthews fighting too.
Jan didnt look great last time, is getting old, and Pereira hits like a truck. Stylistically Jan can do it but i just sense AP landing something. No bets, just watching the 2 main fights as a fan
Medic not a bad bet at longer odds imo
Holland has the fight IQ of a rock and no TDD. Perfect matchup for Chiesa to blanket a win but hope he gets smoked, so boring

Are the fights on at the same time as the boxing tomorrow, keen for both tbh

* Thompson vs Pereira would have been sick
Yeah this sucks. Hope Bud/Spence doesnt clash with the 2 main fights here
According to sportsbet
Jan/AP is at 115 and the main at 145
Bud/Spence is at 130 but boxing always runs late
Might get lucky with some quick finishes in UFC and boxing running 30-45 mins over
Definitely a two-screen job tomorrow.
Absolutely, then into the Tiges game and the cricket, big Sunday

When I watched the boxing pre-fight presser, the host made a point that the PPV has a "special" start time of 8pm EST (10am AEST)....The main event ringwalk is expected around 1pm AEST & the UFC PPV starts at 12pm AEST...So I think there has been a bit of a concerted effort for at least both main events to hopefully not clash.
