    Looks like Kamaru Usman vs Santiago Ponzinibbio will headline UFC:Chile and Neil Magny will fight Gunnar Nelson in Liverpool instead.

    225 looks pretty good. Wonder where they put the stupid CM Punk fight though.

    226 looking stacked as well. Also even though I don’t think they should do the rematch TJ/Cody 2 is supposedly happening at 227.

    Decided to go to the UFC fight night show in Boise, only a short 1 hour plane ride away..


    Seems like a solid card:

    • Junior Dos Santos vs. Blagoy Ivanov
    • Paul Felder vs. James Vick
    • Marion Reneau vs. Cat Zingano
    • Liz Carmouche vs. Jennifer Maia
    • Said Nurmagomedov vs. Justin Scoggins
    • Myles Jury vs. Chad Mendes
    • Darren Elkins vs. Alex Volkanovski
    • Sage Northcutt vs. Zak Ottow

    That whole Yair situation with the UFC is bizarre. I thought it was weird timing to make him vs Zabit, now it makes sense why they were trying to feed him to another prospect. Seems like he was on the outs with the UFC after the Frankie beatdown. Sucks that fight didn’t materialize though.

    Assume he ends up in Bellator now. Yair vs Pitbull would be good.

    Yeah I could see Yair going to Bellator or going to PFL and making an easy million

    They’re saying 30 shows on top of the 15 ESPN +. Too much imo. If that means they are scaling back the PPV’s to 5-6 a year then I’m fine with it. ESPN+ events should be closer to DWTNCS caliber shows.

    What I understood was there'd still be 12 yearly events on PPV, 10 events on ESPN, 12 PPV prelims on ESPN, and 20 fights on ESPN+

    Yea just saw that. Probably be a similar schedule, supposedly their will still be a few cards on Fight Pass. I canceled my FP subscription yesterday, not worth the hundred bucks or whatever it is for the year.

    Dana White Contender Series is back Tuesday. Supposedly there is some 10 week Fight Pass package for like 14.99. Trying to hold onto some subscribers before ESPN + takes them all. I'm not sure Greg Hardy is worth the baggage he comes with if he ends up in the UFC.

    Week 1

    Learned p much nothing about him. Lane touched him a bit and he didn't take it well. Hope they bring him along slow.

    @redsoxx would you agree the UFC boise card is pretty stacked for a fight night show? I'm going to that one next month, curious to hear what you thought.

    Here's the card if you need a reminder:
