I HATE the thought that we'd lose any main card fights off this fucking spectacular gift from the UFC gods. I will spend the week checking to see if there's any news of a fighter having to withdraw.
If you were to predict which bout will get cancelled first, which one would be your guess?
Isn't it kind of fucked that Lando is on fight pass? I'm not complaining, this is a stacked card, and you have to be prepped for a higher ranked fight to cancel.
It's just that this card looks so good compared to the August card. Considering how Lando fights, I'd think you would want him to be seen by as many as possible. The guy is awesome, win or lose.
What a great fucking card. What could ruin it? That’s what I always ask myself.
Max v Ortega seems to be in jeopardy. Max has never had trouble making 145 but missed weight in his last attempt (extremely short notice) at 155 and Ortega has had issues staying in his lane albeit it not a weight issue. This one wouldn’t surprise me if it ended up being one of them against someone else by Sat.
Hall v Costa, Pettis v Chiesa, and Perry’s fight......those could get scrambled.
Either Felder/Perry due to Felder's luck, Pettis/Chiesa due to Chiesa's luck, or Hall/Costa because Hall is a mental headcase and Costa is on the sauce.
I think Max is fine making weight, he just needs the proper time.

I stopped looking for logic in UFC fight card order a long time ago.
Hall said something that struck me as somewhat fucky during a recent interview.
Something along the lines of "I now know what the weight cut problem is, and I fixed it.". When questioned further, he was asked if the UFC-PI was working with him. He said something like "ummmm, no, I decided to fix it on my own.".
Didn't really seem like a stable, confident answer from a guy with some issues in the past. I am a fan of Halls, but he does seem prone to letting his head get the best of him.
What's all this talk about max maybe missing weight? He hasn't missed once & seems to be super disciplined
Yeah my thoughts as well. Zero misses at 145 in his entire career. He misses a fight at a different weight that he takes on 10 days notice coming back from an injury and suddenly he's John Lineker.
