I watch a good amount of mma and I have never heard of Josh Emmett. I can't be the only one. either this is a case of poor main event decision-making on the part of the UFC or I am officially a casual.

Do you know Ricardo Lamas? Well, he recently almost killed him on short notice with one shot. Emmets dropped down to FW and looked really good. Tough fight on his hands though, but he’s certainly capable wherever the fight may go.

He tried to drop down to FW, he never made it.
Great looking main card. The only thing I'm wary about is the potential pacing of the card. There could easily be two finishes in the first two fights, and that would leave an lot of dead air time.
On paper there is a lot of potential for violence on this card.

cool. and yes I know Lamas, been watching him for years and I remember that fight (I watched it as it turns out!). I guess Emmett's name didn't stick in my mind though.

Wow really? I wouldn’t. I think the main event will bring violence.

It definitely will. But I feel the best way Emmet can win if if he hits that big shot (similar to the Lamas fight). Will mostly just be waiting for Jeremy to enter the pocket and throw one or two bombs at a time. Jeremy will bring it, but will also be cautious I believe. I just dont think this will be
that
wild a fight for 5 rds w/ a guy like Emmett. (Cant wait to quote myself if I'm wrong
).
Andrade x Torres actually has a lot more meaning. Its a title eliminator between to similar, high octane fighters. Both love to overwhelm their opponents w/ striking & pressure. Both have great gas tanks too. Andrade's fights have a tendency to be violent as hell lately as well. I think Tecia has the skill, ability & endurance to really create a lengthy barn burner with Jessica. Plus (again) title eliminators always bring a bit of extra "oomph" for me.

This could be a very fun fight, I just don't see it as being a Big Fox main event and expect the card to either do the lowest Big Fox numbers ever or be in the bottom three.

Romero vs Branch was supposed to headline yes? From a name recognition (Stephens)/contender ladder perspective, this was probly the right fight to promote to headliner. Just a tough situation. What are the lowest big FOX numbers? Think ill look that up. From what I remember, I think Condit vs Maia did the worst ever
