MMA-UFC UFC 264

[Joker91]

Thought I would start a thread considering this event is only two weeks away.

Surprisingly a pretty decent card.

Louis Smolka out of the fight with Sean Omalley. Ufc trying to find a replacement.

Saw a Nate Diaz post on facebook earlier saying one of his boys is fighting now.

It's a bloody good card

Price v Pereira is a great fight.
Wonderboy v Burns is good
Main event obviously great but for some reason I'm not as hyped as I probably 'should' be for it
Tuivasa v Hardy is kind of make or break for both guys. They'll both hang around after a loss but hard to see either amounting to anything serious now let alone losing here. Tuivasa late imo
Condit, Tavarez, Hall all decent scraps for different reasons. Should be a good one

For a nug card it's pretty damn good. If memory serves they've been thin in the past, as nugs sells cards on his own.

 

[Gigantic]

Absolutely stacked.

Even the majority of those prelim fights are good on paper.

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

the Unknown Fighter is an absolutely intriguing proposition , right down to the dark mysterious supernatural avatar, cannot wait for this one.

What would have been better was Price & Pereira on the main card instead of Tuivasa & Hardy.
Even better yet, Tuivasa should not be on the card at all.
Even better yet, Tuivasa should not be on the roster.

Not a Tuivasa fan I take it

He's a bum. No idea how he got rehired a second time.

He's a bum. No idea how he got rehired a second time.

Heavyweight is almost always a weak division outside the top 5 or 6 and he's a striker so people watch.

There's much worse in the division but he'll never make a run

Tafa might be the worst in the div

 

[md20]

It started at the beginning when he was getting all the hype from your casual fight fans because he'd ko'd a few nobody's.
They would then go on to tell you how hes going to be a future champ, and that you knew nothing if you thought otherwise.

I hate using the term 'casual fight fans' as it implies I believe im an expert which is so far from the truth. But that is really what they were.

bewdy...no 5am start!!! might clash with the footy tho

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

interested in seeing how Gilbert Burns comes back

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

and the Unknown Fighter is......

 

[phantom13]

I dont know why this has all the making of a great card and i should be excited but im just not...

Conor seems so... irrelevant at this point, maybe ive tired of his antics i dont know. Personally hope Poirier smashes him and he rides off into the sunset with his millions.

 

[Quivorir]

What antics has he pulled in his last 2 fights? Genuine question as outside of the actual fights I don't follow much and haven't seen Conor in the news like in the past.

Actually think hes been relatively low key for his last two fights. Its more (for me at least) that hes fought 4 times since 2016 for 2-2 record and his wins were Eddie Alvarez and Donald Cerrone (Alvarez was good at the time at least).

If it wasnt for his enormous persona no one would care about this. When he was rattling off fights (2013-2016) his whole "thing" was pretty cool. If youre gonna talk shit and be this big brand you gotta have some results to show for it. If he comes out, wins and goes on another run then fine but right now hes a part time fighter and he just doesnt interest me.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

I'm also not all that excited atm, but come Sunday I'll be 100% into the action. Hoping for a nugget W. I'm a big Poirier fan but a nugget W is way more exciting going forward.
Hopefully the presser and weigh-ins have a bit of excitement about them. I have a feeling that Conor will be a bit more chirpy this time.
