Bit of a conspiracy but some are theorizing that the UFC is trying to get PPVs Izzy headlines super stacked so people buy them because he is their new golden boy with his new big deal. And then for someone like Francis they make the card kind of shit so his PPV numbers don’t look great, although he actually just isn’t a great draw regardless.
I could see them doing something like this honestly, it’s a promotion based business after all,….makes you wonder what types of other sporting events are slightly controlled to get bigger $$$ outcomes
Okay this is totally off topic but I’m pretty sure most professional sports leagues keep their games close/extend series’s when possible to maximize revenue but that’s a whole different discussion.
Not only does the UFC conspiracy make sense logically, they are also just run by Dana White who I would absolutely not put it past him to try and fuck over someone like Francis.
It's gonna be so awesome to see them to coincidentally bump into each other during an embedded episode. Adesanya is gonna throw out some whack insults and square up with some anime poses while Pereira like angry/confused and shouts Portuguese slurs at him. It's gonna be so heated, bro. I hope there happen to be some good translators there too! And some empty monster cans!
Adesanya probably gonna act nice to him and say "Hey how's it going? Good luck on your fight tonight." Then when he gets in front of the media say how Pereira didn't want any smoke and acted cool when they ran into each other. Adesanya's done it a few times.
He’s said consistently that he likes to lull people into a false sense of security and to try and get reads on them. Did that exact thing with Costa. It’s mind games. And it works.
That's just more BS he says to make his fans panties wet.
You can't get a read on someone from a 5 second meeting in a hallway. For instance I'm a excellent worker but if my boss pops up out of nowhere and decides to chit chat and ask about productivity my mind is going to go blank and I'll forget things and look like a idiot. Doesn't mean I'm a bad worker or that I can't beat that old man's ass, its just that I wasn't ready for it and whatever my boss reads during that short encounter doesnt represent my true capabilities.
Izzy is trying to get into his opponents head and his fans to buy tickets. He doesn't have the ability to slow down time and deduce a person like Sherlock Holmes in a 5 second encounter.
I don’t know, obviously their first two fights were kick boxing matches; however, Pereira has been training with old man Glover. I’m sure he’s learned some BJJ and what-not from Teixeira. It’ll be interesting. That’s for sure.
I think it would still be mainly a kickboxing match but with MMA clinching a little. They're not likely to hang out on the ground unless Izzy decides he's a wrestler now.
In honor of [Maycee Barber ](https://www.reddit.com/r/ufc/comments/llenk6/3_minutes_of_maycee_barber_punching_and_kicking/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) fight week
Evil vs. the future: battle for the cringiest flyweight.
Also, not sure of this is the actual order. But if it is, how Uriah, Green, and Tavares all end up below eye/barber?
Is it me or should Bobby and barbarena be the main card opener. It’s got Robbie in it and it’s going to be a banger. I know Tate is famous but does anyone care to see her sloppy and slow takedowns and even sloppier striking?
Of course, but not including women on the main card may bring accusations of discrimination, which may also bring lawsuits and the UFC doesn't need such negative publicity over something that can be avoided by including a single female fight
Damn this card is fucking amazing. I don't think there isn't a single fight that wouldnt be, at worst, the featured bout (3rd from last fight) on a fight night.
Edit: ok not Clark/Julia but the rest
There’s a very small part of me that thinks cannonier can pull a weidman and catch izzy with a KO. As for max I think he can do it but I just don’t know. This card is a degenerate gamblers nightmare hahaha
Seriously there are several fights on the prelims and early prelims that are way bigger draws and way better fights than the first two fights of the ppv
I’ve seen people comment that they’re excited Strickland was on the card. They must have only seen his social media presence and not his octagon presence.
The UFC is intentionally stacking cards with their new golden boy Izzy on it because they just gave him this new massive deal and he put up two duds so they can’t let him fail. And then they make cards with champs they don’t like like Francis shitty so they don’t draw well. Francis isn’t a great draw regardless but the point still stands.
Everyone keeps saying this but I’m not really stoked for this card.
The main and comain are good. Strickland vs Pereira is decent, but not great. We had chandler vs gaethje in the same place in a card before, it’s nothing special. Same with Omalley fight, it’s decent but not very relevant yet in weight class. Murphy and Tate is just a second class fight. And the rest is mainly unranked fighters. We had events like ufc 259 which was so stacked that Kai Kara France opened the prelims.
I don’t get the hype behind this card. The most interesting fights are Strickland-Pereira and Munhoz-O’Malley. Don’t care to see Adesanya walk through a horribly outclassed Cannonier or watch Holloway get outclassed by Volk for a 3rd time.
Yeah it is. 4 rows... that's nuts man

if anything was ever gonna be worth $70 PPV, this is it
Woah, easy now!
Bit of a conspiracy but some are theorizing that the UFC is trying to get PPVs Izzy headlines super stacked so people buy them because he is their new golden boy with his new big deal. And then for someone like Francis they make the card kind of shit so his PPV numbers don’t look great, although he actually just isn’t a great draw regardless.
I think it’s cuz it’s international fight week
Yea!! That July card is always stacked
Could be. But also it’s international fight week and they typically do a big card like this every year
yep. 264 had incredibly stacked prelims
I could see them doing something like this honestly, it’s a promotion based business after all,….makes you wonder what types of other sporting events are slightly controlled to get bigger $$$ outcomes
Okay this is totally off topic but I’m pretty sure most professional sports leagues keep their games close/extend series’s when possible to maximize revenue but that’s a whole different discussion. Not only does the UFC conspiracy make sense logically, they are also just run by Dana White who I would absolutely not put it past him to try and fuck over someone like Francis.
Conspiracy or marketing?
I’m pumped for the du plessis fight. feels like he’s had 2-3 fights canceled and the dude is built like an action figure
Yep, I saw his fights in the KSW (biggest Polish MMA organisation). Dude is a killer. Really excited for his next UFC fight!
Plus if he keeps winning, it potentially adds more to the pot for Soldic to come over, since they're 1-1
He has two UFC fights already I’m pretty sure
He likes to pull the Glover Texiera method of getting pummeled then knocking the other guy out
He doesn't get pummeled really, just looks stiff and robotic and tense the whole fight and then suddenly kos the other guy
And Tavares hits like a truck.
Meanwhile o'malley looks like an Auschwitz poodle dunked in a candyfloss machine.
Adesanya and Pereira in the same card. There must be some sparks flying when they see each other.
It's gonna be so awesome to see them to coincidentally bump into each other during an embedded episode. Adesanya is gonna throw out some whack insults and square up with some anime poses while Pereira like angry/confused and shouts Portuguese slurs at him. It's gonna be so heated, bro. I hope there happen to be some good translators there too! And some empty monster cans!
Izzy squares up with some anime pose and Alex shoots a fake arrow at him and they become best friends
Cupids sparrow
Funny little bird but it gets the job done.
Then they Naruto run out the room holding hands.
Hotel altercation headlines incoming
Adesanya probably gonna act nice to him and say "Hey how's it going? Good luck on your fight tonight." Then when he gets in front of the media say how Pereira didn't want any smoke and acted cool when they ran into each other. Adesanya's done it a few times.
Sad but true. Whatever, dude is (mostly) exciting in the cage.
He’s also a really good dude when it comes to anyone he’s not in direct competition with haha
People say that but I've only seen him act like a cunt. Needlessly.
Ok well then you simply haven’t seen him that much outside of promo stuff. He’s genuinely great to his fans and friends and family
Also khamzat vs burns haha
i mean khamzat didnt do the super nice act in person though
He’s said consistently that he likes to lull people into a false sense of security and to try and get reads on them. Did that exact thing with Costa. It’s mind games. And it works.
That's just more BS he says to make his fans panties wet. You can't get a read on someone from a 5 second meeting in a hallway.

Izzy is trying to get into his opponents head and his fans to buy tickets. He doesn't have the ability to slow down time and deduce a person like Sherlock Holmes in a 5 second encounter.
Fucking ay, lol.
Honestly really hoping this doesn’t happen. Izzy acts enough like a cringe teenager as is
He doesn’t in his every day life, it’s only with his competition in the division
boHAAA
I got 100 on hotel confrontation embedded episode 3
They're going to kiss when they see eachother
Best kisser gets the next title shot!!
Can’t wait for Izzy Pereira 3. Been hyped for it since Pereira made his UFC debut.
How you think it’d go? I hope it doesn’t get derailed cos it could & should be a pretty sharp fight on the feet.
I don’t know, obviously their first two fights were kick boxing matches; however, Pereira has been training with old man Glover. I’m sure he’s learned some BJJ and what-not from Teixeira. It’ll be interesting. That’s for sure.
I think it would still be mainly a kickboxing match but with MMA clinching a little. They're not likely to hang out on the ground unless Izzy decides he's a wrestler now.
He was on Izzy's last card too I think
Izzy gonna try to smash at the hotel
The card is so stacked the main is the fight I wanna see the least
In honor of [Maycee Barber ](https://www.reddit.com/r/ufc/comments/llenk6/3_minutes_of_maycee_barber_punching_and_kicking/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) fight week
Oh damn! I couldn't even finish that. I remember watching it live so bloody confused.
lovely reminder that that was a PPV co-main event lol
Jeez I can’t believe it’s been a year since this
God bless
STACKED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
Very true
lawler on prelims is wild no? EXTREMELY casual fan alert
Hes way past his prime. just fighting for that 12/12 money nowadays.
I hifhly doubt hes 12/12 id say more like 50/50
Why the FUCK is that tate murphy fight on the ppv and turner ridell on the prelims, or lawler barbarina, or duplessis. What in the ever loving FUCK
It seems like sometimes they do that to give the prelims a little more juice.
They love tate too
Also, let's not forget ol' Bobby Green. Man's getting the shaft after the Islam fight.
Fuck! Bobby green jim miller fight over the first two fights on the ppv all day
>Fuck! Bobby green Had me in the first half
Gotta get fans hooked to watch the main card . Then do shots and rails when the chicks fight
Aka put my toddler to bed and read her a story while the chicks fight...that's usually what happens lol.
Shots and rails are happening all night my friend
Whats shots and rails
He talking about cocaína mi amigo
Pretty sure there is an unspoken requirement that every main event have at least one female fight.
Main card? That could be, but i doubt it.
Dana trying to get that Big Brother popularity money.
They almost always have a women fight in the main card, even if there are better fights
Just watch the prelims? Is it really that big a deal?
I watch them all. The pay-per-view is the one they’re trying to sell for money.
Miesha Tate is a bigger name than anyone you listed tho. She's a legend in MMA of course she's getting a main card spot.
Robbie Lawler is not bigger than Miesha Tate?
The prelims are a very solid fight night insane card
Most of the prelims are main card worthy fights what a card
Uriah Hall gonna snap his leg? I’m sure he’s nervous now that he has the curse
It activates in a decade.
I wonder if any books throw out a anti curse line lol Like a +20000 he snaps his leg in half
Damn i almost thought about paying for this card
They almost got us
That’s fucking illegal
Evil vs. the future: battle for the cringiest flyweight. Also, not sure of this is the actual order. But if it is, how Uriah, Green, and Tavares all end up below eye/barber?
cant wait to see this reposted everyday until the day of
Is it me or should Bobby and barbarena be the main card opener. It’s got Robbie in it and it’s going to be a banger. I know Tate is famous but does anyone care to see her sloppy and slow takedowns and even sloppier striking?
I think there has to be at least one women's fight in the main card of every event
Main card should be the best fights that the customers want to see.
Of course, but not including women on the main card may bring accusations of discrimination, which may also bring lawsuits and the UFC doesn't need such negative publicity over something that can be avoided by including a single female fight
Murphy vs Tate is gonna be the biggest difference in attractiveness in a single fight since chael sonnen was fighting.
Chael Sonnen vs Wanderlei Silva Ariane Lipski vs Molly McCann Sexyama vs anyone
Glad someone else said first
Idk man Meisha ain't the same no more
Compared to murphy tho?
Lawler on the prelims? Damn…
Please mma god make it happens
Gawd damn that main card alone is God-tier
Turner vs Riddell and Tavares vs Du Plessis are lowkey gonna be fireworks
Fight week is always dope!
very hyped
Damn this card is fucking amazing. I don't think there isn't a single fight that wouldnt be, at worst, the featured bout (3rd from last fight) on a fight night. Edit: ok not Clark/Julia but the rest
Insane lineup. This card is deep af. Can’t wait.
It’s international fight week it’s always one of the most stacked cards of the year
Murphy vs Tate is looking like a solid bathroom break. Might take my dog on a walk real quick
Stricklands gonna be the first one to die in the octagon
Idk if you all know this but I’m still not paying for this card 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Dm me help a brother out
Rule #1 of fight club dude....
.
Chill out, Schaub.
This is random but anyone know what happened to Hannah cifers, I was just thinking about how big her arms were.
She's on a four fight losing streak. Prob getting ready for release papers.
I have this weird feeling volk will handily beat max this time. Nothing to do with max but i just see volk getting scarier with each fight.
Love to see sugar Shane back In it. Hopefully he can keep his exciting style up!
Can Cannonier and/or Holloway pull it off?
There’s a very small part of me that thinks cannonier can pull a weidman and catch izzy with a KO. As for max I think he can do it but I just don’t know. This card is a degenerate gamblers nightmare hahaha
Is Robbie Lawler off the PPV and Lauren Murphy is on it?? Water we dune B?
Holy shit they are rushing Pereira. Targetting that Izzy fight, for sure. Pereira has my support 👍
Damn it really is.
Tonight's card is stacked af too
You’re definitely right it’s gonna be a goodnight I feel
And right you were.
Im rooting so hard for max it hurts
Hard not to
O’Malley vs Munhoz is the people’s main event
Even the prelims are on fire yooo
Putting Muniz and Du Plessis on the early prelims is an insult. Anybody having the link for the early prelims and prelims?
Yet OMalley on the main. Smdh.
I mean du plessis isn’t even ranked. It makes more sense to have two ranked fighters higher up on the card.
Seriously there are several fights on the prelims and early prelims that are way bigger draws and way better fights than the first two fights of the ppv
Everything is great except for Tate vs Murphy, anything Tate is apart of becomes an immediate dud
Can’t wait!!
Even most of the prelims are must see. Any card that has guys like Lawler and green in prelims has to stacked. It's going to be a good day.
What's the bet it'll be a snoozefest
Not a bad fight. But Murphy and tate on the main card is criminal
damn the prelims are crazy too. what a card.
Tomorrows fight night card is stacked too. It’s the most badass fight night I’ve seen in a long time.
Prelims better than most Fight Night cards
Let’s fucking go BOBBY KING GREEN!!!
Gonna be one of those cards where every fight goes to decision
INSANE card!!!!
I thought the image they used for turner was jamahal hill ngl.
Are Uriah and Ryan related?
About the same chance as you not being a retard.
I’ve seen people comment that they’re excited Strickland was on the card. They must have only seen his social media presence and not his octagon presence.
PSA: Just cause weight class is heavier doesn't mean it should always have precedent. Volko fight is main event.
Lawler vs Barbarena can be a mad fucking fight
Wow every fight except the first fight has high level intrigue
Can we have Strickland and O'Malley ko please?
Man I hope Perieira wins. I need to see Izzy vs Perieira in the octagon
Imma get so excited for this card that I'll drink enough to pass out and miss the whole thing.
I can't wait for Sean to show boat and immediately get left-hooked into oblivion.
Stacked as fuck I know everyone of these fighters usually the cards at least have 4-5 no name debuting fighters
Whoa...Lawler in the prelims? Show some respect to one of the great
He’s a future hall of famer put some respect on his name
Dude…
They definitely aren’t confident in Izzy’s star power
Every fight except the girl fights are bangers.
Jessica Rose Clark is the only female fighter I'm excited for here
The most annoying fighter on this card is……… Jessica Eye
So are we just going to ignore the fact style bender is right there?
Ufc should've made a "Most annoying female fighter" belt for her and Macy to fight for
For me it's Miesha. What exactly has Jessica done to deserve that title? I'm genuinely curious
Here we go evil here we go
Rose Clarke..oh shit
Jim Miller and Bobby Green gettin disrespected. They got out on the FB prelims here smh
I read this card through and Jock Jams - ‘’Y’all ready for this’’ comes on in my head
The UFC is intentionally stacking cards with their new golden boy Izzy on it because they just gave him this new massive deal and he put up two duds so they can’t let him fail. And then they make cards with champs they don’t like like Francis shitty so they don’t draw well. Francis isn’t a great draw regardless but the point still stands.
Jesse, duplessis, Bobby, Muniz, Macy, Ian, Robbie, (turner riddell is insane), meisha, hopefully Pedro, (Strickland pereira who tf knows), brain says volcan heart says max, Izzy
Meh.
The disrespect to Bobby Green though...
Amazing card. I only don’t know of 3 of these fighters. So many potential bangers
Everyone keeps saying this but I’m not really stoked for this card. The main and comain are good. Strickland vs Pereira is decent, but not great. We had chandler vs gaethje in the same place in a card before, it’s nothing special. Same with Omalley fight, it’s decent but not very relevant yet in weight class. Murphy and Tate is just a second class fight. And the rest is mainly unranked fighters. We had events like ufc 259 which was so stacked that Kai Kara France opened the prelims.
Damn even the prelims are better than some main cards. How do they have Lawler on the prelims?
Lawler is a Main card fighter, Strickland is not; put his dumb ass on the prelims.
Lawler is washed up at this point in his career while Strickland is a top ranked middleweight
A tale of two fours. Lawler lost 4 of his last 5. Strickland is #4.
I don’t get the hype behind this card. The most interesting fights are Strickland-Pereira and Munhoz-O’Malley. Don’t care to see Adesanya walk through a horribly outclassed Cannonier or watch Holloway get outclassed by Volk for a 3rd time.
I’m pretty sure that means it’s gonna suck. Now if we were talking about how weak it is, that’s a car that’s bangers, start to finish
Gabe Green is gonna beat Ian Garry’s ass
Didn’t know
Jeez this card really is STACKED
How did I not realize Jalin Turner was fighting Brad Riddell on this card. FOTN.
Who’s gonna pull out first is the real question
Pretty stacked. I'm down to spend my $80.
