[Avs_19]

Main event could be good. Maybe a nice KO for Lewis in the co-main as well. That's all I've got.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Ben Rothwell, mah spirit animal

 

[m9]

Curtis Blaydes might be a future HW contender. Worth watching. Not an easy fight for him, though.

 

[Ivan13]

Friends have tickets, but I'm not sure if I should go.

 

[Live in the Now]

Depends where your seats are.

This card isn't spectacular, but there's some very interesting talent here that I'm looking forward to seeing. Stanciu is supposed to be a killer and Ngannou looked like a great striker in his last fight.

 

[Ivan13]

Seats are in the 115 section of the stands. They should be alright, but the card is kind of underwhelming. I'm on the fence right now, going there could be good, but sometimes I just prefer to hang back in front of the TV with a beer in my hand.

 

[ck26]

Huge fan of Rothwell and Cigano; both main event and co scream exciting knockout to me.

If you live in the Balkans and you've never been to a UFC fight, go. Not the best card I've ever seen, but it's a one-of-a-kind show.

 

[IamJust0ne]

Card starts at 2pm? Maaaan that sucks I don't recognize alot of names besides those on the Main/Co-main, but there's definetely potential for lots of fireworks with all of these heavies

 

[Killahpunk]

I'm not expecting many decisions on this card.

I'm not expecting many decisions on this card.

You never know, we could find the next Jared Rosholt on this card

 

[Killahpunk]

Time for the big boys!

 

[Avs_19]

That eye is a mess and he clearly can't see.

That's a good stoppage by the doctor.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Ngannou is pretty much the best prospect the HW division has when it comes to physical attributes

 

[Live in the Now]

Most of the top ten heavyweights can't take a punch either, and he can throw them.

 

[Avs_19]

Most of the top ten heavyweights can't take a punch either, and he can throw them.

Isn't that common with all HWs? These two both rocked each other with jabs.

He can definitely throw them though. Interesting prospect for sure.

 

[MD thaivuN]

it's mostly the speed of Ngannou that sets himself apart from the pack

 

[Avs_19]

Gonzaga not doing anything there might come back to really hurt him.

 

[Killahpunk]

The black beast!

 

[Avs_19]

Yup, it came back to hurt him. Lewis is terrifying.

 

[dss97]

I'm scared watching Rothwell walk out to that music and I'm not even fighting him..

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I hate that JDS hasn't evolved at all. He fights the exact same way as he always has, and it hasn't worked the last few fights.

 

[dss97]

Rothwell has rocks in his head I swear. Guy is unfazed after heavy shots.

 

[Avs_19]

JDS looks much better than he has in recent fights.

20-18

 

[Killahpunk]

Junior looking better in the 2nd.
