I think the ufc needs to add two weight divisions minimum. Need more title fights.

Get rid of 170 and do 165 and 175. Maybe add a womens 105. Might be room for a 195 also.

While this card isnt horrible it isnt stacked either. Just hate when they put really good fighters on fight nights and some of the ppv are bare.

Hw division is shite and jones/stipe done seem too interested in fighting. Pavlovich is the only contender. Lhw is shite. Middleweight is locked up Again with adesanya winning.

You have fighters like poirier, chimaev, and gaethje that are stars but dont seem to want to fight often. Leon wins the belt and doesnt want to fight. Machachev isnt fighting until october or some shite.

I also think they really fricked up doing volk vs yair and moreno vs pantoja on the same card. Imo one of those should be headlining a mexico city card when you have 3 mexican beltholders and trying to open a PI in mexico. Dana is asleep at the wheel!

this will be the first UFC PPV that will not be purchasing since about mid-2019. it's just not a "PPV" card that is worth $88 (after tax). factor that in with ESPN constantly bumping the price by $5 every year ... this one is a strong pass.

there are literally maybe four fights on this card worth getting hype about and two of them are on the free prelims.

God help em if they let the winner of Belal or Burns jump over Covington for the next title fight .... a potential Edwards vs Belal/Burns main event may not even break 100k PPV buys
