The Matthews-Flowers fight has been confirmed.

It feels weird being this pumped for a non-title card, which likely means it's going to be a dud

Yeah Poirier boxing is top notched in the ufc.

So if pereira wins, it’ll be him vs jiri for the title? I image there will be no blood for that fight.

I didn't know both were on the same weekend and was planning on getting this one, now I'm getting Spence/Crawford. So at least a single person is being impacted. There will be another UFC event in a few weeks.

He sounds like he’s having a sinus issue

I’ve been dealing with the same shite for a couple of weeks now

Poirier/Gaethje will be ten times better than anything on that card, sorry

I feel like this card isn't getting a ton of buzz. Maybe because 290 was just so good. In any case I'm buzzing and this week cannot end fast enough.

Went on a golf trip last weekend and I don't think 4 days have ever gone by slower.

I think because the lack of a true title bout at the top of the card, but I don't know the last card you can find top to bottom that has this kind of potential entertainment value

You’re probably right, but that’s a stupid reason to not be excited for a card


Random question: how do y’all handle watching fights when/if it’s two of your favorites going at it? I love poirier but gaethje is also one of my favorites in the UFC… to me, it’s weird watching a fight if there isn’t someone to root against (a villain)

Wonderboy vs Pereira off. Pereira came in 3 lbs overweight. This card kinda sucks now that 2 big names have been scrapped. I’ll still get it for the Main and co main

I don't know what Salt Lake City did, but they arguably boast the best non-title card in a long time (The BMF title doesn't count), and one of the better cards in a long time.


Wow I didn't realize the card was in Salt Lake City. Gonna be a lot of guys sucking wind.

Wife did the parlay again for this card on a $1 bet.

Holland
Green
Lewis
Periera
Gaethje

Actually really like these picks.

Where has Ankalaev been? Did Dana get pissed off at him for his comments after the Jan fight?
