After a career-best year in 2015 that included UFC wins over Marcus Brimage and Pedro Munhoz, bantamweight prospect Jimmie Rivera will get a home game in Newark, New Jersey on January 30 when he faces number 15-ranked Iuri Alcantara in a UFC Fight Night bout at Prudential Center.
The FOX-televised event is headlined by the light heavyweight bout between Anthony "Rumble" Johnson and Ryan "Darth" Bader. Tickets are on sale now.
Also added to the event is a featherweight matchup between Levan Makashvili and Damon Jackson. Winner of two of his last three, including a UFC victory over Mark Eddiva, Makashvili will match his ground attack against submission specialist Jackson, who is seeking his first Octagon win.

I don't understand why Hungry and Rico feel the need to create a thread for every no name fight, just for the sake of being "First"?
It would be more interesting/meaningful to create a thread about an up and coming fighter they met or trained with. I don't think every single fight in the history of the UFC deserves its own thread.

Just like how you feel the need to chime in every time like we care if you don't care about the fights listed. Other people may know who they are, so just move on. Crying about it doesn't make it happen less.

It's just kinda cheap Shock Jock journalism. That would be like me creating a thread every time an undercard fight for One FC is announced. Not for the sake of interesting discussion. Just to be first.

I think deep down someone is just jelly THEY don't get to post the fight announcement...
And kudos to @JonnyRico and @imhungry4444 because they get the fight announcements correct, unlike some of these momos

I don't mind the announcement. As long as the OP and others who actually post in here CONTRIBUTE something. Whether its an opinion on one or both of the fighters. That being said, no one is actually talking about the fight. If you simply don't like this fight than don't comment on it, you are not forced to reply to every single thread.
I think Makashvili takes this in a solid back and forth affair. Should be a decent fight, but nothing to write home about.
