This will be the first UFC ppv I've bought in over a year.
Here's the official media day staredowns.
Askren's playing mind games. Masvidal is a gangster. That's gonna be a good fight right there.

Very solid card. Hate putting a single $1 in Jones’ pocket but in all honesty, I don’t know any of the fighters anyway.
Diego is still a trip. I could see him training to build up enough static charge to shock an opponent into submission.

I could see him training to build up enough static charge to shock an opponent into submission. That's how I felt about Jones a few years back. Didnt wanna pay for his fights. But then I realized that he's probably the greatest heel character of all time. And now that he's finally dropped the good guy routine, and accepted his role as a real life heel, I actually find him to be pretty entertaining. Diego is just as intense as he was on TUF 1. Most guys mellow out as they get older but I think Diego only got more intense. Thats another good fight right there, against Chiesa. This card reminds me of the UFC cards from the Chuck/Tito era. The main card is stacked.

Stacked how? Granted I think it's a great card with good fights but in the entire card there is not a fighter that is below -200... Every fight is extremely lopsided...
I'm actually rooting for every underdog in the main card... Lol.

I bet you were one of those nerds like War Munchies, and CactusAoki who would geek-out about overrated jmma guys.

I just looked at the cards for UFC 230- 239 and yes this one is stacked.
I mean holy shit, some of those cards weren't even Spike TV Free Fight Night worthy.

It just means they are very unevenly matched and most "stacked" card tend to not deliver. If you're only looking for name recognition, OK. Although I'm rooting for Holy is she really worthy of a title shot co main event? Adside from the main event and Jorge Ben I don't see how this is extremely stacked. Good fights, yeah, I agree but guaranteed to be a great event cause of big names is not a good reason to get wet overa card. Then again, I do watch every event and PPV and get excited for pretty much every card, I'm still a fan of MMA.

She's the worst lay and stand fighter in UFC history - absolutely cannot stand her style. She is going into this fight like the Cyborg fight with zero intention of winning and hoping she lasts 5 rounds. I think she is the worst representative possible for woman's MMA because of her boring, super safe, happy to run around and lose strategy. Card is solid, IMO. Interested to see how Rockhold looks, hoping Diego smashes one tricky pony Cheisa and hoping Masvidal finds a way to land some shots on Askren.

Hey guys, long time no talk. Hope is all going great with everyone.
On to this card. WTF, I was going to order this card on PPV. Just to find out I can't. I have to have ESPN + just to order a PPV. Screw that, why would I want to order a event and watch it on a small laptop screen instead of a 70 inch TV ? Yes I know I can hook up the laptop to the TV. but no, I just won't do that. LOL
Oh well, I was going to give the UFC my money. But not now, I'll just stream it.

Holly has that Machida style of fighting. Looking to out point then to win by KO. I do think she has a chance against Amanda, But it has all to do with Holly's foot movement. Holly will have to try to tire Amanda out and win by points. Rockhold fight. It will probably be a good fight. Diego vs Cheisa. I'm not a Diego fan, but he always has fun fights to watch. Ben vs Masvidal. I really hope Masvidal wins this fight. I really do. But he probably won't. Jones vs Santos Santos only chance is to win fast in the 1st round. After that, He's done. No bets for me. I haven't bet on MMA in a while.

LOL Santos is the 2nd biggest dog on the card. I would put money on Masvidal, I think he could beat Ben. Could. I've been betting on womens world cup. I didn't do very good.

Only available via ESPN+ I flipped through my guide about 3 times looking for it, then I googled it and realized its not being broadcast on television. Wow that is so lame. Is this how all the PPV's are now?

I'm thinking that Fasthands should provide a live play-by-play of the main card here on odrefugees since he lives in Canada and gets all the ppv's for free.

I bet $50 on Jan here at our casino. Not sure why Luke was the favorite, but I got a pretty good win at +190 on that. So much more exciting watching when you have money on the line, especially in person!

Diego needs to bring back the crucifix.
Staff infections and left hooks, things that make Luke Rockhold cry and Bisping smile.
The most exciting Askren fight was also the shortest fight.

I had small bets on Masvidal and Holm, and a Masvidal/Holm parlay. Amazingly I took the buyout offer on the parlay after Masvidal win so even the Holm loss felt a bit like a win.
Last fight might be interesting because JJ will probably feel some urgency to finish him since Santos just throws heavy.
