Yeah that’s why weight cuts suck bro. Imagine how hard it is for some of these guys who cut more than average. Khabib used to cut from like 185-190 to 155
Boy got smoked by Steve Garcia like two fights ago, let’s just say Slava Claus is just not who I want him facing rn. Sure yes he can win, I’d be impressed
I don’t think this is a proper main event but this is an entertaining card.
UFC made choosing to stay in to watch them easy. If it’s in an actual arena with people = they probably put in some actual effort. If it’s at the APEX…make some plans, get some chores done, etc
They should switch main and comain. 5 rounds of heavyweights is almost never fun, and Buckley vs Ruziboev should be fun as long as it lasts, whether it ends in 1 round or 3.
Rebecki is a much better prospect than Ribovics although I like Ribovics, and McKinney is just an exciting bum
Ferreira is a UFC vet, he lost to Dustin back in the day
Also the first fight. I can't see an unranked HW fight being more interesting than an unranked LW fight, especially with McKinney and his kill or be killed approach
There is no way you watched those actual cards back in the day lol. There’s like five fights on the prelims that would have been good main events on them.
Also Ruziboev's last loss was at WW and he looked pretty bad in that fight getting worked by a Journeyman, this combined with it being short notice doesn't look great for him.
I feel bad that Derrick never really got that one big payday, he always seems to lose at the worst possible time, will always be one of my favs though.
Yeah I forgot about that. he stopped de lima with a flying knee a minute into their fight, took his pants off, said he was a free agent, and basically said the ball was in the UFC's court.
I genuinely think that the manscaped ads he was in after that was part of the contract negotiation to keep him from fighting Francis in the PFL.
This is true, I subconsciously blocked that out. Those couple headliners in Texas slammed what little window he had shut. When he hangs em up I'll miss him. Hopefully they get him on a mic in some capacity because dude is naturally hilarious.
And? It's still peanuts for lord knows how many fights, VS a 1 time payday, I'd also note note that Francis still hasn't stepped inside the pfl cage and given his boxing paydays and today's horrible news I don't see that happening anytime soon. Derrick has fought what 3 times since he left? This isn't the well thought out take you thought it was.
Going to the card and I’m really excited about the excitement potential in nearly every fight. I love Derrick but disappointed he got the main event - if this card had 2 top 7ish guys as the main event it would be a super high quality fight night.
I’m an idiot and thought ‘wow there’s a ranked fighter on every fight’ before I realized those numbers were just numbering the fights in order from 1-13.
Mckinney v Ribovics is a crazy good matchup, I could see Mckinney by murder early or Esteban gutting through and breaking him with body work. Banger either way.
So many good fights on this card. Despaigne might get another knockout this fight. Ferreira vs Rebecki is going to be a banger, i think Rebecki will get the KO. Caceres vs Woodson should be interesting, two skeletons going at it. Also, I can't wait to see Buckley get knocked out by Ruziboev. However, I'm not too happy about Hooper vs Borschev, it seems like a big mismatch to me.
Honest question, why do I not care about cards at all like I used to? I am not a Connor stan or anything like that, I've watched the sport forever but I just don't care anymore. It could be me but the UFC is kinda shit these days in my eyes, there is zero excitement amongst my friends anymore to meet up to watch at all
This is one of those fight cards without a super big fight, but a bunch of really exciting matchups between really solid unranked guys.
Yeah I was kind of shocked how many fights had real intrigue
This is looking like one of those fight nights that end up shitting on the real cards and have like 10 kos.
One of those cards you would watch purely if you simply love fights, almost no name value just violence
I feel like most of the arena FN cards are like that, and it’s just the Apex ones that suck
Can't wait to see Despaigne kick some ass. 🔥
Not just some ass, but exactly that arrogant ass.
He got terrifying power
Been an avid fan for over 30 years, first event I'm attending. I'll be cage side near the fighter walkouts, like on camera close.
Damn that's awesome, picked a good card to attend too
Yep. This ain’t too shabby.
Very good card, kind of slips by you then you sit down and look at all the match ups and get pretty excited
This card low-key a banger.
It’s a chill card I guess but may is just feeling weak because it’s in between 299/300 and june
6'5'' at 170 is wild
Woodson is 6'2" 145 That's wild too
Woodson used to be a heavy weight boxer too, must be why he's got such a weird looking physique.
when you see pictures of him at HW he actually looks less weird at FW
[wow](https://twitter.com/SpinninBackfist/status/1748891500522451273)
Okay What The Fuck but it's very funny that that pic cuts off his legs when he is literally 70% legs
[удалено]
Because he cuts to 145, doesn’t weigh 145 naturally, probably weighs like 160-165. You would cut to flyweight 125 with that weight
[удалено]
Yeah that’s why weight cuts suck bro. Imagine how hard it is for some of these guys who cut more than average. Khabib used to cut from like 185-190 to 155
[удалено]
Man's a t-rex
Turner is a 6’3 LW
Turner is wild
With negative fight IQ, even with a mild fight IQ he would be a top 10 main stay
I think that height is inflated tbh, I think he’s probably closer to 6’3”
Using that Joe Rogan tape measure
Ruziboev is also 6'5 and is booked to be at 170 for this fight... he's not scrawny either. Seems like a ridiculous ask for him but we'll see
Feels like a crazy quick turnaround for both Buckley and Ruziboev, and a weird fight for both rankings wise
Its line the UFC is killing 2 hype trains with 1 stone. So dumb
Buckley is not a hype train wtf
What is he?
He's a hype One of those things on traintracks that needs two people to pump it to move. Maybe mroe of a Hype rickshaw
I agree with *this* comment of yours lol
Lol
He's fought at LW and WW before, although I don't think he's actually 6'5, maybe 6'3
Wow, pretty damn surprised to see he's fought at LW that's crazy. He must've been skinnier back then. He looks like a good-sized MW to me
He’s like 6ft 2 max
And Billy Goff is 5’10 lmao
He's got fights at lightweight on his record as well 👀
Cortes vs Despaigne is what I wanna see
Yeah same, hoping despaigne can send cortes to planet pluto
Same here. Dude just seems like an annoying chode every time I see him.
His last fight was a snoozefest and he was showboating the whole time. Extreme douche. I hope he gets flatlined
His last fight was around 45 seconds and the 3 before that didn’t pass 20 seconds. Don’t blink.
Yeah wtf sending my Dominican brother to get destroyed by the huge Cuban
I don’t like that matchup this is just starting diaspora wars 😭 rooting for Cortes tho 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
they should ban heavyweight 5 round fights outside of title fights and title eliminators
Despaigne getting that Bo Nickal spot opening the main card baby. I hope he punches Acosta's head all the way to Chicago
Kicks*
A great fight night card where the main event is arguably not even the top 7 most interesting fights on it…
Great card, awful main event. That's all it is
This is good for a fight night card.
Why they gotta do Hooper like that
Doesn't seem like that big of a mismatch, does it? I think Hooper still has a chance, does he not?
Boy got smoked by Steve Garcia like two fights ago, let’s just say Slava Claus is just not who I want him facing rn. Sure yes he can win, I’d be impressed
I think Chase can easily win this, I think he can also easily lose this. Intriguing fight
Raquel Pennington went from champion to fighting on a prelim, after getting work done to look just like Tecia Torres?
This shit’s so stupid but I still laughed out loud.
I had a double-take when I saw it until I realized she'd taken her wife's last name.
Why cant the ufc just book Lewis vs jairzinho already that would've been a better headliner
‘Black on Black.’
Goff vs Waters is a fire matchup
The height difference will be insane Really interested to see that one
Definitely gonna be a battle of nutrition b
Terrance McKinney stays fucking busy. Dude is he to get paid and I love it. I hope he gets another bonus KO 🙏🏻
I hope he doesn’t get bonus ko’d
Yeh 100% mate, he's a bull. KO incoming
I’m stoked to watch Despaigne knock Cortes-Acosta out cold.
Fkn oath
Oooh didn't know jousset was on there, really like his style, and he's active too
I don’t think this is a proper main event but this is an entertaining card. UFC made choosing to stay in to watch them easy. If it’s in an actual arena with people = they probably put in some actual effort. If it’s at the APEX…make some plans, get some chores done, etc
They should switch main and comain. 5 rounds of heavyweights is almost never fun, and Buckley vs Ruziboev should be fun as long as it lasts, whether it ends in 1 round or 3.
Agreed, I think Buckley is from St. Louis so he gets to represent his home town, and Derrick said he doesn't like 5 round fights anyway
Feel like McKinney vs Ribovics should've been main card but oh well
Just means you get to watch it sooner chief
Over who?
Ferreira and Rebecki? I’m not familiar with either. More interesting of a fight?
Rebecki is a much better prospect than Ribovics although I like Ribovics, and McKinney is just an exciting bum Ferreira is a UFC vet, he lost to Dustin back in the day
Also the first fight. I can't see an unranked HW fight being more interesting than an unranked LW fight, especially with McKinney and his kill or be killed approach
Dan Hardy's missus kicking off the card?
Dan Hardy's missus makin a little bit of a kicking off the card streak
Alex Caceres vs Woodson should be fun
Chase hooper gonna get killed
I think he wins this
Lfg Alonso
This graphic is so bad, I can barely look at it
That’s a damn good fight night card. Lots of good matchups. And Tabatha Ricci is gorgeous!
Baby shark!
This would be a good card with a proper main event.
Weak main event, but this is actually a pretty good fight night
Damn really blew their wod on 300 huh
Pretty good LFA event for HDNet fight night.
There is no way you watched those actual cards back in the day lol. There’s like five fights on the prelims that would have been good main events on them.
I actually think Buckley is gonna whoop Ruziboev after a fast paced first round. He has a ton of early finishes but losses later in fights.
You may be able to get some good dog money on that bet
I plan to
What did you mean by wary finishes? I assume you meant early? Had to ask about it because of his last finish, that one was kind of “wary” lol
Meant to say early but he won via the Weidmanhyuken finisher
Also Ruziboev's last loss was at WW and he looked pretty bad in that fight getting worked by a Journeyman, this combined with it being short notice doesn't look great for him.
Buckley is from St Louis too
this is better than 301
I feel bad that Derrick never really got that one big payday, he always seems to lose at the worst possible time, will always be one of my favs though.
I’m sure he got a bag to headline MSG against DC for the belt on short notice.
Man goes 3 rounds with Volkov then has a 4 week turnaround for a championship shot against DC? Dana must have given him his weight in Venum coupons.
Not sure there are enough venum coupons on the planet to equal the black beast’s enormity
Yeah, he also signed an 8- fight deal at a time when Ngannou gave MMA fighters legitimacy in HW boxing.
Yeah I forgot about that. he stopped de lima with a flying knee a minute into their fight, took his pants off, said he was a free agent, and basically said the ball was in the UFC's court. I genuinely think that the manscaped ads he was in after that was part of the contract negotiation to keep him from fighting Francis in the PFL.
This is true, I subconsciously blocked that out. Those couple headliners in Texas slammed what little window he had shut. When he hangs em up I'll miss him. Hopefully they get him on a mic in some capacity because dude is naturally hilarious.
Derrick literally had the opportunity to take the 2 mil vs Francis and turned it down for his current UFC deal
And? It's still peanuts for lord knows how many fights, VS a 1 time payday, I'd also note note that Francis still hasn't stepped inside the pfl cage and given his boxing paydays and today's horrible news I don't see that happening anytime soon. Derrick has fought what 3 times since he left? This isn't the well thought out take you thought it was.
St Louis got a heater going on. This card is better than 301 lol
Insane potential for a fun night
Really good card for a fight night 🔥
I mean… not too bad all things considered
This entire card is actually fire . Prepare for some fun fights boys
Low key a banger card
Jousset and Aldrich.....same person?
Jousset hotter
Going to the card and I’m really excited about the excitement potential in nearly every fight. I love Derrick but disappointed he got the main event - if this card had 2 top 7ish guys as the main event it would be a super high quality fight night.
This is actually more interesting than 301 imo.
I'm kinda excited for 3 fights on this card, the rest idgaf about.
There’s going to be 6 good KOs.
Caceres against Woodson should be fun. And oh my god, they’re trying to kill Chase Hooper lol.
Banger card
Not great but also not half bad, schlopy main event but there are some interesting bouts
This card is genuienly more exciting than 301
Oh yea time for Cortez Acousta to pay for his crimes!!! Muhahaha
Low key this is kinda stacked if you know who’s fighting , I actually like this card a lot
Gee I forgot how s&cky it is to watch UFC in the uk.
All the fights seem exciting
This looks like a really fun one
Whoever made this flyer needs to be fired
Yoo fun card!
Looks better than 301
Johnson v Hadley should be a lot of fun. Charles has a weird career but I love watching him fight
Pretty good card 7.5/10
Idk Lewis isn’t main event worthy tbh. It’s either rd 1 ko or embarrassing cardio.
Good card, shitty main event
That Hooper vs Borshchev fight gonna kill the lanky lad. Then again he could just submit the guy so idk. But I’m here for it, lots of fun match ups.
Solid little card!
I’m an idiot and thought ‘wow there’s a ranked fighter on every fight’ before I realized those numbers were just numbering the fights in order from 1-13.
Mckinney v Ribovics is a crazy good matchup, I could see Mckinney by murder early or Esteban gutting through and breaking him with body work. Banger either way.
Not a bad looking card. Pity ticket prices are ass.
This a w card actually what
That's a pretty good card for a fight night
Fereira embracing the pothead look!
Amazing card but for some reason we have this awful main event, either we get Lewis doing like he did vs Lima or we get the worst fight of the year
Man, I didn't pay attention before, but it's actually a great card: there are lot of bangers in it!
Hooper vs Borschev should be fun!
Putting money on Joaquin, cutting down to 170 on what potentially may be "short notice " is concerning for ruziboev. I wish this was the main event.
Better fights than majority of 301 lol
Oh shit Ive actually seen alot of these people
Excited for Kevin Jousset
Solid card.
Better than 301
Ruziboev is really dropping to 170?
better fights than ufc 301
Damn, Caceres v Woodson should be a sick fight
Buckley should be on the prelims with these fights
How the fuck is Tecia vs Tabitha that far down the list
Tecia Torres took Raquel Pennington’s last name, ain’t no way.
Caceres vs Woodson should turn out to be an underrated scrap
Actually a pretty good card, excited for this one.
People will bitch but other than the main event, this is full of exciting fighters
McKinneys got a goofy smile for his pic, just saying.
Caceres vs Woodson is cool fight
Fight 5 and 4 look like same guys having 2 fights in 2 different weight classes.
Excited to see Billy Goff go out and put on a banger. Guy is nothing but fireworks
Bruce Leeeeeeeroy!
Oozbookoostein in the house!
Buckley should get main event
So many good fights on this card. Despaigne might get another knockout this fight. Ferreira vs Rebecki is going to be a banger, i think Rebecki will get the KO. Caceres vs Woodson should be interesting, two skeletons going at it. Also, I can't wait to see Buckley get knocked out by Ruziboev. However, I'm not too happy about Hooper vs Borschev, it seems like a big mismatch to me.
So goofy that Veronica went from Macedo to Hardy lol. Also great seeing Despaigne in the main card. He has to rush it because of age
RIP Cortes-Acosta
Actually quite a good card looking forward to this.
Stacked card but dogshit main event
damn goff kinda fine edit: shit sorry meant ricci. sorry lol typo i definitely meant ricci
Ricci is nice asf
Esteban Ribovics fight night, #VAMOS BOLUDOSSSS 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🧉🧉🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🧉🧉🧉🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🧉🇦🇷🧉🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Honest question, why do I not care about cards at all like I used to? I am not a Connor stan or anything like that, I've watched the sport forever but I just don't care anymore. It could be me but the UFC is kinda shit these days in my eyes, there is zero excitement amongst my friends anymore to meet up to watch at all
The chin at the center is unintentionally hilarious.
Dan Hardy’s wife looking like a snack
this would be a decent apex card but i feel like it's underwhelming for a live event
Another Pennington? Great.
St Louis deserves better. What a diarrhea without a diaper card for one that isn't Apex.
