MMA-UFC UFC 206 - Pettis v Holloway

[phantom13]

EDIT: Card has taken a huuuuuuuuuuge hit, if the main event wasn't for a fake interim I'd suggest this was on okay fight night card now, expect buy rates to be very, very low.

Featherweight Max Holloway vs. Anthony Pettis [a]
Welterweight Donald Cerrone vs. Matt Brown
Featherweight Cub Swanson vs. Doo Ho Choi
Middleweight Tim Kennedy vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Welterweight Jordan Mein vs. Emil Weber Meek
Light Heavyweight Nikita Krylov vs. Misha Cirkunov
Lightweight Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Drew Dober
Women's Strawweight Valérie Létourneau vs. Viviane Pereira
Bantamweight Mitch Gagnon vs. Matthew Lopez
Lightweight John Makdessi vs. Lando Vannata
Lightweight Jason Saggo vs. Rustam Khabilov
Flyweight Zach Makovsky vs. Dustin Ortiz

What a fun card. I'll be rooting for Johnson in the main event, if only to revive some interest and open things up in the light heavy division.

Nice to see Superboy get his desired matchup by using the oft neglected technique of asking very politely.

And does anyone think Pettis has a chance? He had a good victory last time up but Max seems like a massive step up in competition.

It's either the last nail in Showtimes coffin or the potential for a Lazarus like revival

It's amazing to consider a couple of years ago we could see who could beat him.

Would love to see him fight Conor if he get on a streak, even back at 155.

Awesome card.. 4 of the 5 fights could easily win fight of the fight.

Evans and Kennedy will probably be a grinding contest but there is so much intrigue in that fight for me.

Probably the most fascinating fight on the card for me.

Pretty damn good. Hopefully everyone makes it to fight day.

 

[Gigantic]

Looking forward to this card, in particular the FW match ups. Pettis vs Holloway and Choi vs Swanson.

 

[phantom13]

Read today that Evans has been pulled, didn't get clearance from the commission, really sad if that's right, would seem the end for the great man.

 

[Bad Brain]

Oh man, just noticed Vannata was on this card too. Will be great to see if he can bring the endurance to match his flair after almost knocking out Ferguson on short notice.

 

[Dan]

Cormier out :/

Dana just give GSP what he wants.

 

[Gigantic]

******* hell.

 

[Ry009]

Always Injured Academy.

Love DC, but freakin hell.

 

[phantom13]

Yeh AKA is f**ked. Surely someone from the UFC is gonna fly there and burn the gym down

 

[Adzam]

And all of a sudden this card is looking a bit s**t again. Probably too soon for Bader to come up to fight rumble after his last fight. I would love to see Gustafson and rumble go at it again but I'm pretty sure he is injured too. Mind you it's all kinda pointless for rumble not to be fighting for the title now

 

[Dignan]

Man, that sucks. AKA again.

What do the UFC do here? Turn this into a fight night card?

With what's left there's some nice fights but it isn't PPV worthy, not for me anyway. UFC would realllly have to pull something to make it worth the $.

 

[Gigantic]

Card has fallen apart but I'm still looking forward to it. The two fights I was looking forward to the most are still on.

 

[Dan]

Between 205 & 207.......206 was always gonna be the adopted kid out of the three.

Save ya money for 207.

Rumours that Pettis and Holloway for the interim FW belt as the new main event and Aldo new champ.

If Aldo becomes the new champ (no longer interim) due to Conor vacating then there wouldn't be a need for an interim champ.

That's what confuses the hell out of me but few decent sites running with it.

Yep makes literally no sense why cant they just make it an offical No.1 contender match.. wasnt that what the Romero v Weidman fight was?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I expected something like this ftom DC.. god i hate him

The rumour seems to be gaining traction.

If true they are doing it to try to save the card but its pathetic. Conor was supposed to be giving F/Weight up but this smacks of desperation and the interim belt between Holloway and Pettis? Riiiiiiightio then.

No doubt. Still, I'm stoked there's gonna be some life back in the division though.
