The Main Event is the Interim Lightweight Championship (as Champ Conor McG boxed instead) between Tony Ferguson and not really worthy challenger Kevin Lee.
Pound for Pound King and Flyweight Champ Mighty Mouse Johnson record-attempting title defense against Ray Borg relegated to co-main event. That fight was originally supposed to be at UFC 215 before Borg took ill.
Also, HW matchup Former Champ Werdum vs. Derrick Lewis.
Dana White giving free tickets to Vegas first responders.
UFC Ping, let me know if you want on/off the list
I forgot to post the time, Saturday Oct 7th, Prelims on FX at 8 eastern, Main Card at 10 eastern on PPV (and pirate sites we won’t mention)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_216
I’ll take Ferguson, Johnson, and Lewis.
The UFC’s tv deal with Fox is up, Fox is favored to renew a deal but there’s lots of speculation they are interested in a streaming service like Amazon having some fights, as I have Amazon Prime, I’d love if they put fight pass on there.
Other news, Rumble Johnson is looking to un-retire and move up to HW.
Tony
Demetrius
Fabricio
Even Dunham
That’s all i know
Good on rumble- does he still have it? Hope so- always liked his fighting style-
As for amazon prime- how do you go about watching? You gotta pay per fight or something? I have prime- but don’t know how to use it except for free shipping lol
UFC is not on Amazon video, yet, it’s just a possibility for the future. I would presume it would free for prime customers if it happens.
Anyway if you have prime just go there, log in and check out what they have, you watch online (or on your smart TV in my case)
https://www.amazon.com/Prime-Video/b?node=2676882011
Lots of free video for prime customers
Rumble would probably pop positive for MJ if he re-submitted to USADA screening, given his latest inclinations.
IMHO, MJ should be removed from the banned list, but that’s for another thread.
I’ll take:
Ferguson
Johnson
Werdum
Faria
Dariush - razor thin choice but his gym is about 10 minutes from my house, so...
Duquesnoy
Green - Though I thoroughly enjoy watching Lando Vannata fight
Moraga, even though he’s a big underdog
Leites
thanks I’ll check it out- didn’t even realize they had that
Well, from what I know of weed it certainly wouldn’t enhance your performance in a fight.
They require 6 months of testing before he can fight again? Wow.
They have original shows too. I recommend “Bosch” if you like cop shows.
I’’ll definately check that out- thanks for the info
Ferguson, I hope I don’t regret picking against lee again, Johnson, Werdum, Dariush, Bibulatov, no idea who he is, but I’ll take the odds, Tavares.
wow- didn’t really prime had all that- some pretty good looking movie selections and show selections too- Had prime for about 7 months, had no clue lol
Yeah, he's huge now. I just heard Derrick Lewis vs. Fabricio Werdum has been canceled...Lewis's back hurts
Fabricio Werdum will face Walt Harris on the #UFC216 main card tonight. Harris was supposed to face Mark Godbeer.
Main Card:
Ferguson
Johnson
Werdum (too bad Lewis is out)
Faria
Dariush
Prelims:
Stamann
Vannata
Gonzalez
Schnell
Darn.
Amended picked, Werdum.
At least they didn’t have to pull Werdum from the card!
Too draws on the card so far, ugh, draws.
I’d change the scoring system to eliminate the possibility.
Yeah, draws seems to be on the rise with the new scoring system.
Might be best to just dispense with scoring by round and just pick a winner for the fight as a whole.
