1 - The current run of the names on what is presumably the main card
Whittaker (0-2, 3-4)
Edwards (0-3)
Garbrandt (1-2)
Krylov (1-2)
McGregor (1-3)

2 - Paddy and Cody(and Max) are coming off title fight loses, typically that means they are going to be sluggish and the chances of those fights being good are slight. Also it's Bautista and his fights typically aren't that great.

3 - No title fights so they are banking on Conor showing up and we know about Conor and his unlikeness to pass a drug test, physical test. So that's a possible disaster.

4 - The prelims are likely going to be all quick finishes and the main card all decisions which means you'll be watching a bunch of ads all night before getting to dull fights.

So if you are hyped for this card..great good for you. To me this looks like the worst card of the year.

The worst card of the year? Bro, this is why people don't take you seriously. That's a really silly thing to say. I'm not "hyped" for it, but that's a solid card with some intriguing matchups.

Show us your fantasy card and let's see how amazing it is. Because this one is solid considering the roster right now.

Lenny is on it, Almeida is shadow boxing and apparently specific weeks need more hype for people at home.

You never follow your own rules. You were just complaining about people on the other card because of their shit records, and then you go ahead and give Conor a major fight with a serious contender. How does Conor deserve anything of the kind given his current record? Lost his last two decisively and hasn't had a win since, what, 2020? A win over the shivering-with-fear-and-practically-a-corpse Cowboy? Conor hasn't had a significant win in almost 10 years.

So, based on your criteria, why should Conor get such a big name?

He shouldn't and I don't like it, but it is a legit main event that the UFC is looking to book. If I had my way Conor would be fighting a much lower caliber of fighters in the co-main spot, but the UFC wants to put him in the main event. Also of the next 6 numbered cards you are only going to have a small handful of fighters coming off loses, and in most cases matched up with guys also coming off loses.

No time wasted: How Tommy Gantt fought 14 times in one year to earn UFC look

Tommy Gantt got into MMA a little late – and put together one of the most insanely-paced regional runs to catch the UFC's attention.

Turns out Cormier was a college teammate of the NC State wrestling coach. I had no idea.
These kinds of articles are so much better than the Rousey and Ngannou stuff they are flooding us with.
