[I am not exposed]

Looks like a fun UFC card. Both headliners are unlikable. Although would prefer Buckley to win because if Convington wins you just know he will get an undeserved title shot.

It's weak for an ESPN card if you ask me. Main event is good and Colby will probably bring in a few casuals, Cub-Billy Q will be fun for sure, but the rest is kinda typical Fight Night/prelim stuff.

Should be some bangers

Perhaps we see Colby take nap?

I’m expecting a repeat of the Masvidal fight, Colby blankets Buckley for 25 minutes

Buckley is a lot more physical than Jorge and Colby has regressed- imo it will be a lot harder for him to do that

Not impossible. 5 rounds is interesting though, I may live bet Colby if Buckley doesn’t get him out of there in the first 6 min or so

We can only hope. It'd be great if Buckley could put him on his highlight reel. He's a disgusting individual but his comments about Belal the other day are even low for him. Nothing creative or clever, just straight up racism.

Not a bad card to end the year out. Potential for some good fights on there.
