hopefully this can cheer us up

 

A 6-4 guy making his ufc debut vs a guy who is 0-4 in his last 4 fights is the co main event. This is what we get for $65 from the worlds biggest mma promotion. ( a fight that was on the fight pass prelims originally)

Do you even know who Lando Vannata is? He’s fucking awesome. Always brings it, is never in a boring fight and has a huge fan base. 

 

I agree the the rest of the card is just OK as far as name recognition and in relation to the divisional standings, but we should get some entertaining fights. I agree that $65 is steep, but the co- main isn’t where I have a gripe.

Yes I know who Lando is. Been watching him since his debut and had tony Ferguson on Queer Street. Nothing against Lando he’s an exciting fighter.

The card wasnt worth the money BEFORE bobby knuckles pulled out.

60k buys if they're lucky.

weakest ppv card of all time?

Put Cowboy in and let's make it a fight, fight. For real fight. Crack some eggs and legitimize the infamous "Do you want to be a fucking fighter!?" Question you posed over a decade ago on TUF. Quit playing. Let 'em bang, bro. Pay a fine to the commi$$ion leeching assets. Know what it is and never ask forgiveness. Do it. Do it now!

Look on the bright side, Montana De La Rosa vs. Nadia Kassem is still on the PPV, thank god!

evh - 

weakest ppv card of all time?

Has to be one of the top five weakest PPV's of all time without looking at them all, has to be.

It would be interesting to see a poll on the subject.

BJ Penn Forever - Look on the bright side, Montana De La Rosa vs. Nadia Kassem is still on the PPV, thank god!

Only way to save this card is to have Nadia wear those booty-shorts she wore during weigh-ins during the fight.

Next weekend's ESPN card is better than tonight's PPV. This stuff happened when UFC got on FOX too.

Dana clearly said in a recent interview when asked why they still do PPV and he basically said because people still buy it.

If people stopped buying PPV then UFC would move to a WWE model or do everything in a cable deal with ESPN/FOX etc... but people keep buying.

Yeah I'm throwing darts in the dark here. I don't know about Crute & 80% of the other fighters to make accurate predictions.
