Prelims (6 eastern) and Main Card (8 eastern) on free tv, Fox broadcast network.
Former Middleweight Champ Chris Weidman v. Kelvin Gastelum in the main event. Also Dennis Bermudez vs. Darren Elkins, Patrick Cummins vs. Gian Villante
Yeah i looked it up- is he still fighting in ufc? I noted matt mitrione got suspended briefly for calling him sick demented or some such thing lol-
I am not sure that he was ever in the UFC, because this would truly be a case of men fighting women, and I’m pretty sure White said he did not want to go there.
But I could be wrong.
Mitrione did get suspended, but Rhonda Rousey after Mitrione’s comments,was a bit more diplomatic in her rejection of that thing fighting in the UFC, and I think that made Dana reconsider.
There was a tranny fighter OUTSIDE the UFC in the minor leagues named Fallon Fox (oddly “she” is a lesbian and a father, lol) the “Queen of Swords” (lol!). Lots of people were talking about that, including Joe Rogan. “She” started 3-0, then lost to real girl Ashlee Evans-Smith (now in the UFC), “she” won 2 more fights after that but hasn’t fought since 2014. Real name, Boyd Burton (lol).
Cris Cyborg is just a steroid monster and not very good looking. She used to be married to fighter Evangelista Santos, and copied his nickname, Cyborg.
I remember the Fox/Evans-Smith fight, the cheers for Evans-Smith were deafening! She knocked him out!
[[I’m pretty sure White said he did not want to go there.]]
I hope so- I hoep that is their attitude towards it- but with the olympics allowing men to compete as women now- there’s gonna be a big PC push to have it in most sports now- that will almost ruin the UFC for me- (I’ll just record the events and skip those matches)
Thanks- wasn’t sure if he made it to the UFC or not- i knew there was a bunch of controversy over it and remembered thinking it would ruin the UFC if they went down that path- The steroid issue is bad enough- but men fighting as women is beyond the pale in my book- A man has to be a pretty low character to want to fight women
