Jan 3, 2017 Main Card (FS1)-10 P.M. ET Yair Rodriguez (#10 FW) vs BJ Penn Joe Lauzon vs Marcin Held Court McGee vs Ben Saunders John Moraga (#8 FLW) vs Sergio Pettis (#15 FLW) Prelims (FS1)-8 ET Devin Powell vs Drakkar Klose Frankie Saenz vs Augusto Mendes Alexey Oliynyk vs Viktor Pesta Alex White vs Tony Martin Prelims (Fight Pass)-6 ET Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger vs Nina Ansaroff Walt Harris vs Chase Sherman Joachim Christensen vs Bojan Mihajlovic Dmitry Smoliakov vs Cyril Asker
Jan 3, 2017 solid interesting card. It will also be Todd Grisham's (from WWE, ESPN, and Glory) first card working for the UFC
Jan 3, 2017 Prelims will air on FS1 right after the Cowboys vs Giants/Packers/Lions game (4:40 ET kickoff). Game is on Fox and will probably be heavily promoted. This is the 3rd year in a row the UFC has done the Sunday event that starts right after the last NFL playoff game. Last year was Cruz/Dillashaw card which started right after the Broncos/Steelers Divisional round game and got promoted heavy during the Seahawks/Panthers (FOX game) game. The year before was the McGregor/Siver FS1 record breaking card card that started right after the Pats stuffed the Colts in a locker/deflategate started. Anyways I like that its only a 4 fight Main Card and will end at midnight instead of 1.
Jan 3, 2017 Have a feeling this fight will leave me sadder then BJ/Frankie 3 and that's tough to do. If he comes out on the tippy toe s---, then i'm out.
Jan 5, 2017 If Dodson takes it then it would be a better fight. We'll see if that actually happens, could see them just moving Rivera to the 208 card in Brooklyn to beef it up since Rivera is from NJ. Would give his opponent 5 weeks instead of 10 days.
Jan 5, 2017 no shot that materializes. every fighter says the same s--- when someone pulls out and it never happens lol
Jan 5, 2017 Wouldn't say it never happens, lot of ppl called out DC at UFC 200 after Jones popped. Anderson got the fight but Mousasi was willing to take it as well (Mousasi also tried to fight Rumble and Tim Kennedy at 206 when DC and Rashad were pulled from those fights). Cerrone took the 3rd Bendo fight on like days notice as well (2 weeks after beating Myles Jury). I don't think Dodson is the type that would put this out there either. If Rivera/Caraway was the Main Event, WME would have 1000% had Dodson take the fight, but I think its a good reason to push Rivera back to bolster 208 or 209.
Jan 13, 2017 d--- and they were gonna promote the s--- out of this during the Cowboys/Packers game, now nobody is gonna watch it. Ratings were gonna be great despite it being a meh card.
Jan 15, 2017 Fight Pass Prelims start in 10. I think Fight Pass is free this weekend. @Showtime @Keigan @Big John @ASK JEEVz @shogun @Bender @AdultishGambino @fed @IceyJesse @killie @fader @x326 @jroy7 @Minne @havoc @TacoT @Daniel @ruff @Axe @Clive @Air B @Sahara @Jay @Charlie Work @Five Star @Detroit24 @Flacko @Sam @TheAngryBlonde @TheBlackSheep @Chabuddy G @Young Rager @criza @JohnnyIgaloo @Kon @Whatthe @Devil White @MSweeeets @Zep @Dank Sinatra @Mike Tyson @STL2016FUB @Smitty @Purspective @The Product Link http://taima.tv/r/mma
Jan 16, 2017 Well I hope Yair got the rub from outclassing BJ. Let's give him a real test now. BJ - stay retired
Jan 16, 2017 ... well that was hard to watch. Bj just needs to f---ing stay retired man. I hate watching the old legends get KO'd by young up and comers.
