Will be the co-main to Ortega Holloway at 231.

Reckon Shevchenko will be too strong for Joanna.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Agreed

I thought she beat Amanda, and judging from Amanda's reaction i think she thought she had lost it as well.

The final dance?

The final dance?

100%

Won 1 out of his last 5, 44 years old, and despite the HW division being thin, for his own sake too, would be good to see him go out on a high and retire. Don't want to see him in Bellator.

Still waiting for tickets to go on sale.....

Lol. The ufc have plucked out an interim belt. They've done well, there was nothing else available..well apart from Jones, but he's probably just not ready to go.

Romero was already meant to fight Costa but pulled out because an eye injury

Now he’s suddenly fine if he’s the main event and getting a title shot

That's weird. I guess being in a main event on a ppv has magical healing powers.

I actually thought Costa pulled out of that one.

opps these guys are Professionals it amazes me how they keep doing the same thing over and over again.

 

[Nickos66]

He shouldn't, but Hunt'll end up at Bellator, he'd welcome fighting guys like Rampage, Fedor, Mitrione, Mir etc. for decent money.

.... Or Rizin.

I really hope he retires though.

The most recent cheques he has been getting are really good. Around the 750k mark from memory.

hopefully, he has enough, because, from everything I have seen, he lives a modest life... although I think he is the type to do it until its way too late.

Id rather he take on those type of fights tbh, but yes it would be much better to Retire he has had his glory days how much can he take

I'm happy for him to keep fighting and getting beat up for as long as he likes.

lol what have you got against Hunto?

Just think he's a giant knob. Don't like the way he goes on his anti UFC crusades (earrented or not) but then he happily accepts their pay cheques. A huge hypocrite.

but that's his job? its how he earns money... and the UFC wouldn't let him go if he asked because he is under contract and would go straight to a competitor.

Plus, he really wasnt earning decent money until the Brock Fight.

he is a giant knob though, but I find it endearing lol

UFC 230 main event Valentina is fighting someone with a 3-2 record over Nate and Dustin

Slight let down.

What a joke.
Just make the 165 division ffs.

The ppv is a beauty. Adrenalin will peak for Nate/Dustin, then die in the ass.
Love Val, but this call by the ufc is just stupid.

I guess Yoel vs Gus was a bs story.

 

[Joker91]

LOL WTF

Great card but how this fight is the main event is a absolute disgrace and embarrassment.

David Branch vs. Ronaldo Souza
Nate Diaz vs. Dustin Poirier
Israel Adesanya vs. Derek Brunson
Luke Rockhold vs. Chris Weidman

All those fights are more worthy.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

 

[Dan]

Dog s**t main event by MSG marquee event standards. Stubborn UFC doesnt wanna give in to the Diaz brothers.

Forget 165 division.......most would have settled for Poirier v Diaz at 155 for the main event.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Ffs they do some dumb s**t
