Fight Pass Prelims started already.
Main Prelims start at 6 Eastern on FOX.
Main Card at 8 Eastern on FOX
Former Women's Champ and Rousey-Slayer Holly Holm takes on Valentina Shevchenko.
Edson Barboza and Gilbert Melendez in the co-main event.
Live from Chicago but I have a family party, gotta leave soon so I'll have to watch later.
I’m going to go with Holm and Melendez.
I do not recognize these other names well enough in order to be able to make a pick.
I’m really hoping for a Holm win.
UFC/MMA PING
Let me know if you want on/off the list.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_on_Fox:_Holm_vs._Shevchenko
Give me Holm, Barboza, Ngannou, Herrig, Wineland, Pepey
Yeah, because if Holly loses, the UFC will place her on FS1 cards and then move her along. Dana White is nothing if not someone who holds grudges. But Holly is in a spot where she has to win to remain relevant...even more so than other fighters. I think White wants her to fail tonight. Prove them wrong Holly!
I’d like Holm to win so we could see Holm/Rousey 2. (And I’m SURE Dana White would like to see that as well.)
The only way Shevchenko wins is to submit or knock her out. Don’t leave it to the judges, imo. The UFC needs those big fights.
ugh, I hope he doesn’t!
Kind of Similar to Melvin Guillard’s situation on Bellator last night, a must win situation.
He pulled it out, nice KO! Good job, Melvin.
GO HOLM!!!
Yeah, I think she is being punished for defying the UFC brass by taking her previous fight. If she would’ve waited on Ronda’s return she would’ve needed to wait over a year it appears.
She is definitely not the UFC poster child which is another reason I like her. Go Holly!!!
Any idea what DISH channel might have it? I searched and found nothing. But then I’m not always good at searching.
I’m going with Prazeres, Usman, Pepey, Wineland, Herrig, Ngannou, Melendez, Holm.
It’s on your local Fox station.
Worst card ever.
Yeah, it’s not that great. Thinking about taking my dog for a walk and getting back in time to see the Melendez and Holm bouts.
But I think Holly is in a good position to make another run. It's up to her...just keep winning.
I have it on as background noise while I’m doing some digital paperwork.
Doh! (Thanks!)
Thanks for the heads up. I like MMA but I don’t really follow it enough to know the fighters.
Watching the Giants @ the Yankees right now, tied 1-1 at the bottom of the 9th. Should be over by then. Maybe.
Oh yeah, Dana looked disgusted putting the title on Holm that night. I loved it!
I’m looking forward to a Holm run, hopefully right through Ronda again. No offense to the Rousey fans on FR.
Wow, I picked 3 out 4 right on the prelims.
Francis Ngannou is a monster!
Just huge wtf! He may well be right that he is going to be HW champ one day.
I was impressed Ngannou win. I’m sure he’ll get a known name for his next fight.
