Honestly more excited about Hunt's & Lando's fights than woodley v wonderboy 2... I'm trying to get hyped for it, but after khabib pulled, about 90% of my excitement disappeared.

I think Alistair is going to die, unfortunately, and Lando being only 24 yrs old has a lot of potential and i want to see where he goes.

Potential to get UFC gold or a one-way trip to an insane asylum.

This is worst UFC card in a long time. Imagine you buying a ticket for it and getting hyped for kabib vs tony...

I was super dissapointed last night, but woke up energized. We miss out on a potentially great fight but still a solid card.

You got a rematch title fight. Next to that NOTHING that gets promoted.

Evans is so far downhill, he looks like a malteser.
Vanatta is main card filler.
Hunt vs Reem got 0 exposure in media and UFC.
And now you got fucking women added to the main card.

I wish I could show you my face right now, but it's like a 5 on a scale of angry faces. Never before had we had fighters trying to desperately promote a card. UFC decided to BACK OUT and not compensate one of this card biggest draws for preparing accordingly and showing up on time and weighing what he should, taking another fighter on short notice.

Honestly, I think the UFC is falling apart.

the holm card sucked ass, i'ma be honest. It's not even like the ufc created a bad card this time though, it was sick as fuck until about 24 hours ago when it lost it's main piece. It's still pretty good, just we got teased hard with that fight almost finally happening so that's all we're focusing on.

LOL they tried so hard to keep hunt in the shadows. If you watched his/overeem's scrum interviews and stuff every single question/answer has to do with steroids and cheaters. The last thing the ufc would ever want to push out into the media.

Agreed on your points. Imagine Hunt going on a rant in the post-fight interview.

I will agree with this. Management doesn't know shit.

You lost me in the bolded area. Hunt/Overeem could main event no problem. I understand the lack of promotion, Hunt is still very mad. And Overeem doesn't like being called a cheater repeatedly. Lando is not filler, he's legit. No opinion on the WMMA fights, they stepped up for the company.

I understand the dissapointment. But let me play devils advocate for a second. We are all being prisoners of the moment, very possibly the winner of the interim title fight would be left hanging not getting to unify with Conor until he splits, leaving the interim title holder always having an asterisk like Aldo, because they can't get a rematch. This might make Tony just wait for his real shot, and not ruin 2 contenders at once.
