I think I figured out why I'm still pretty meh on this 205 card.

forget the fact that there's no Cerrone or Tim Kennedy fights now, there's few fighters on it that I really like to watch fight.

Love McGregor like everyone but he's probably a bit overexposed. He's dominated the spotlight for coming on 2 years now. Just desensitized.

Alvarez doesn't generate heat. Woodley has barely fought in 3 years. Wonderboy really hasn't been pushed by the brass.

The 115lb. chick fight could likely be the best scrap on the docket. I like both of those Polish girls, got a feeling it's gonna be a crazy fight.

Tate and Pennington do nothing for me. Loved Tate's win over Holm because it was so do or die dramatic. That's her peak.

Frankie/Stephens should be main-eventing a Fight Night card. Don't see that one lasting 2 rounds. I like both of them but they don't do much to draw eyeballs.

Weidman/Romero is being criminally undersold and ignored in the hype. You'd think neither of their styles make for an exciting fight but it'll be a race to pound each other out. Weidman's gameplan may be to weather the storm in the first and then destroy him when Romero gases.

I hate both Khabib and Johnson. Particularly much hate for Khabib's bitch arse.

I like both Miller and Boetsch too but their opponents do nothing for me.


207 may end up being the better card if McGregor and Alvarez aren't fireworks (which would be shocking).
