Think it's widely accepted the card will be a full blown stinker. If your growing market are stupid enough to pay for weak cards like 234, why not rip them off in a grander scale in a stadium. People should have cancelled on mass after 234.No new rumoured fights or announcements in the last week? Not a good sign...
Yeah I won't be going to this one. Got a feeling ticket sales will be quite poor; there's only so long you can make grand promises and under deliver yet expect us to show up. Surely not many come from interstate for a 1 fight cardThink it's widely accepted the card will be a full blown stinker.

With that being said, ill still go but will be getting mid range tickets.
I'm not even going to go from across the city.Yeah I won't be going to this one. Got a feeling ticket sales will be quite poor; there's only so long you can make grand promises and under deliver yet expect us to show up. Surely not many come from interstate for a 1 fight card
"STACKED.... with homegrown talent"Dan Hooker posted something on Twitter about the Melbourne one, seems he'll be on the card. So we're looking at the main event, the women's fight and basically the rest will be Aussies/Kiwis I'd imagine, should be ok but not exactly "stacked".
It would be fine if they could get a decent co main like Volk v Holloway but in lieu of that they really need to add another high level fight, either another title fight or at least a number 1 contender (and male too)."STACKED.... with homegrown talent"![]()
No word of itHolly Holm v Pennington added to the card, is this meant to be the co main?

Gee, you're hopeful! If Overeem comes out, it would be against Tuivasa I would think. I doubt we're getting two top heavyweights out here on relatively short notice and I can't see Max taking the quick turn around either. He'll likely look to get on a bigger card with more PPV buys later in the year. Hooker and Iaquinta I would imagine would be made co-main if it gets signed.Nah but it would be a solid ppv opener.
1. Whittaker v Adesanya
2.
3.
4. Hooker v Iaqunita
5. Holm v Pennington
Just missing a co-main (Hopefully Holloway v Volkanovski) and another fight between ranked fighers (Overeem rumoured on this card).
Tuivasa and Megan Anderson should be on prelims.
I think your 4 and 5 will move up to two and three, Anderson is 4 and Tuivasa opens the main card.Nah but it would be a solid ppv opener.

Yeah that's likely it (Anderson main card) and a big F U from Dana to Australians. Awful card outside a fantastic main event and a fun Hooker/Al fight.That's probably the main card
Whittaker Adesanya
Holm Pennington
Hooker Iaquinta
Tuivasa Spivak
Then either Kasseem or Anderson
That’s what I’m talking about! Great opportunity for Hooker too.Iaquinta and Dan Hooker
