Awesome looking card, I just worry at least one of the fights will fall through which tends to happen...

DC/Stipe - coin toss.
Holloway/Ortega - coin toss

Thats what makes this event so great, two amazing fights that could go either way.

I can see Ortega winning against Holloway. He had some mad submission skills.

Stipe in the heavyweight bout for me. DC is going up in weight for this one isn't he?

He is but he's fought plenty of times at HW in Strikeforce and the likes, he was actually the HW grand prix champion so he should be comfortable at that weight.

Yep.

@RobDogDog watch how DC slammed Josh Barnett who is a massive HW. DC is the stronger of the two and the better wrestler BUT Stipe has the better hands. It really is 50/50.

Damn. You called it too. Gutted - that could've been a great fight. Not seeking a replacement either.

Sucks

That was probably the fight I was looking forward to the most as well, wonder who they will promote to the main card.

Gutted but someone always pulls out so it was to be expected I guess.

Paul Felder vs Mike Perry should be on the main card tbh.

The fight on the latest episode of TUF was superb, if you haven't seen it then do yourself a favour and get it viewed!

Pretty sure that's been boosted to the main card, that should be a good fight!

 

[ThestigGT999]

anyone see DC trip after the press conference?

Just watched it in preparation for the finale, great fight!

 

[nemtizz]

That Ngannou fight was far worse than anything Woodley has ever served up, and that’s saying something. Might be the worst fight ever. Gutted there was no post-fight interview for Rogan to roast them both.

 

[PermaChanged]

Happy with that!

 

[nemtizz]

Embarrassing scenes. How do you have the most stringent testing in sports yet continue to promote that walking, talking PED.

 

[snapdragon]

sweet

Had Lewis/Cormier at 9.3/1

 

[Kenai]

UFC is literally turning into WWE, WTF was that staged pile of crap at the end, what an embarrassment.

 

[nicktay2605]

It's a bit farcical isn't it? Having a 40 year old drug cheat come back and fight for the belt, only to likely leave again straight after. It all smacks of the UFC being a bit desperate for a big name, which is hardly surprising with the likes of Jones, McGregor, and Rousey not involved.
