How Danjo has continued to get booked is beyond me, that guy is pure trash

That's 5 damn good match ups.. & 2 I don't know im ashamed to say

Hell yeah! Excited for this card

This looks fantastic

How many AKA fighters are on here so we can count as many fights as tentative?

Solid card.

Worth the $60

Looks like Rothwell might be off the card if the rumors are true.

Rothwell vs werdum is gonna get shit canned. Rothwell got flagged by usada i guess

Poirier vs Alvarez is a good scrap. War Dustin!

A much needed solid card of fights

Nice card.

Well that is a smokin' fight.  Overall a good card too.  But dat fight doe..

Considering the slide as of late, hoping ufc adds some decent fan fight to replace the Rothwell one. Someone fun has to be looking for a scrap.

I just think the ufc must be losing (or earning signifigantly less) money with recent cards. It feels like there is a lack of interest, but maybe that is just my interest that is waining a bit.

When could Lando be ready again? Talk about a fun fighter. Pay him, see if he could get a good matchup. Guys like that, more often, would help.

What is joe Duffy on, a fight night card? Fun dude to watch.

Nice match up

I like it. I feel Alvarez is the only fighter in the LW top 8 that Dustin has a decent chance of beating. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Guess the leg injury wasn't that bad, after all.

Great fight. Really like both. That conor fight will never sit right for eddie. Looking forward to where he goes next, Dustin also a great fighter.

Hope, and expect, each will be respectful and just do their business.

Great match making.

Nice card. But, didn't big Ben test postivie

wiggum - Great match making.
For a change.

Dont know much about Sean Shelby, but it has been absolutely horrible since Joe Silva left.
