With very few exceptions, it's always the following Saturday. I don't post these threads more than a week out because these cards change a million times.

Very good, there have been a few exceptions that Fight Night Cards are on Friday/Sunday....but certainly appreciate your efforts in posting the event and full card.

[agtx 3,487]

Has Kevin won the fight against the persistant staph inection on his chest yet?

[-idyb- 23,710]

ever since kevin lee went to Tri-Star and started training with GSP,  they now have to bring a bodybag to the octagon just to haul away his opponents lifeless corpse

This will have no affect on the prelim card as no one attends anyway.

business as usual for the ufc.   they still get their money from espn just for putting on the card, even if nobody shows up!

Might take a slight edge off the home-cooking -

WTF ?

Kevin just missed weight, 158.5#

Guilherme Cruz

 

✔ @guicruzzz

 

Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) officials tell me Kevin Lee did weigh in backstage before 11am, so he's good to go. He's being evaluated by doctors to determine if he can continue to try cutting weight. If so, he'll be given one hour to go from 158.5 to 156 pounds.

[Bezerker101 62,120]

Was going to bet the dawg anyway (Charlie)- a little more so now

Oh well, with the lack of live sports broadcasting due to this virus chit the switch from Plus to the mothership was a likelihood.

How gassed was Macedo

[ijosef 1,845]

I hope the rest of the night gives us a bunch of 29-28 unanimous decisions that are neither decisive nor controversial.

[agtx 3,487]

These chicks are used to performing in empty arenas.

[Conceive-Believe-Achieve 1,369]

Thought Silva’s tits were gonna pop out at some point.. 

Good decision win for the Ukrainian 

[Bezerker101 62,120]

takedowns matter tonight

[agtx 3,487]

The best bit was when silva lay on the floor like a helpless baby taking elbows to the face, reminded me of belfort vs weedcan

[agtx 3,487]

Bisping sounds like he has money on barzola lol

kills me on 2 tickets-

[agtx 3,487]

so quiet without the crowd, probably just me but being able to hear them breathing adds to the grittyness of the fights. Can hear the fatigue & effort. Better than hearing the woooooooooo! redneck mating calls from the crowd anyway.

[Bezerker101 62,120]
