Oh this card is strapped for fights. I do however like the main and co-main.

The Jorgensen/Cejudo fight is pretty good too. We'll see if Cejudo is the legit talent that he is touted to be.

Also, Nijem/Ferreira is a toss up imo. Nijem has looked sensational in his last two fights and Ferreira looked like a killer in his debut. I'm leaning toward Ferreira, but I haven't seen enough of him to make a decisive pick.

WAR BARAO! Hoping this could be a huge rivaliry. The bantamweight division need some big fights. Also looking forward to see Magomedov, Jorgensen, Cejudo and Ferguson-Castillo.
One thing that hit my mind, was that the UFC on Fuel card from London is much better than this PPV in my opinion:
Barao vs McDonald
Swanson vs Poirier
Manuwa vs Diabate
Nelson vs Santiago
Te Huna vs Jimmo

i'm sure this card will do better than 174, with a brazilian headliner, this'll get lots of views in Brazil.
pay per view buys will probably be like 140k

PPV buys will be fine. The UFC will push the rematch, because it's a big fight. And then they'll push the Correia/Horsewomen drama, to add to the casual fans' desire to see this card. It won't do great, but it won't be a flop like Bellator's PPV.

Did anyone expect Bellator do higher numbers than they did? I thought they did really well for their first PPV. I'm not predicting sub-100k buys for this, but it wouldn't completely surprise me.
This isn't a terrible card for me as a Finn, because I don't have to pay extra for any card anyway (only for the channel that carries them). But I can totally see why the PPV portion is unpurchasable for many. The main event is a rematch that shouldn't happen yet and the other 4 fights PPV prelim or FS1 main card level fights. I like a lot of the matchups though.

I think the awesomeness of Dillashaw/Barao II is gonna make up for the "lackluster" card. T.J. riding the momentum of the last fight where he looked sensational, and Barao in the challengers seat again trying to claim his title and revenge, goddammn that's gonna be a sick fight. I love this Team Alpha Male/Nova Uniao rivalry. If Mendes beats Aldo in October, that'd be f*ckin badass.

Tickets on sale at groupon for super cheap it seems. Looks like the gate will be terrible.

I say Dillashaw wins a competitive fight . It will have only been 3 months since the first fight, not enough time has passed to make any significant adjustments and I don't know how Dillashaw will look cause the guy improves massively from fight to fight.

Problem is, 90% of those who would buy the PPV already have the channel that shows every single ufc evewnt, be it ppv, fs1, fox or fp. So I think PPV buys don't get too affected by the brazilian audience

this would a weak card for a wednesday night free card.
it's kind of stupid that you have to now beat a champ twice in a row to make it official.

There weren't even weird circumstances about it. It was a thorough 5 round *** whooping.

The best thing that could happen to the BW division would be for Cruz to somehow get the title back. s--- would open up big time.
