This card could very well get scrapped all together. They were banking on Cyborg vs Holy but that fight isnt happening. Dominic Cruz is now out and the rest of the card is pretty meh when it comes to drawing power:
Women's Strawweight: Cynthia Calvillo vs. Carla Esparza Flyweight: Louis Smolka vs. Matheus Nicolau Welterweight: Carlos Condit vs. Neil Magny Light Heavyweight: Khalil Rountree Jr. vs. Gökhan Saki Lightweight: Dan Hooker vs. Marc Diakiese Welterweight: Kamaru Usman vs. Emil Weber Meek Lightweight: Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Edson Barboza
6 weeks isnt a lot of time for any serious training camp. What will happen?

Louis Smolka will carry this card by himself...
Goes to show you how bad they need Conor and Conor knows this. He can sit out for a while. Dana shouldn't have let him box, now he thinks he needs ownership?

What they need to do is combine 218 & 219 and do something like this:
Max Holloway vs. TBD Alistair Overeem vs. Francis Ngannou Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Edson Barboza Henry Cejudo vs. Sergio Pettis Eddie Alvarez vs. Justin Gaethje Tecia Torres vs. Michelle Waterson Cynthia Calvillo vs. Carla Esparza Carlos Condit vs. Neil Magny

Just confirmed today: Main event of 219 was Conor vs Tony. The fight was pulled today due to Conor's incident at Bellator over the weekend.

Dude, you are excited about the Bellator washed up UFC HWs fighting but not for this card? I really don't get you. Overeem vs Ngannou is a guaranteed finish between 2 HWs better than every HW on the bellator card. Khabib vs Barboza should be great and if it isn't it will only be because Khabib is too good and smothers him. Everyone knows Alvarez vs Gaethje should be fireworks. Torres vs the Karate hottie should be good too. The other fights are filler but should be decent. Also, you say you only like cards with title implications, but this one has several in the cases of Overeem/Ngannou, Khabib/Barboza, and possibly Alvarez/Gaethje. You are strange when it comes to your MMA preferences and are a contrarian IMO, who just likes to like whatever isn't as mainstream and are kind of like the guys I get into arguments with about Metal bands who love a band when they aren't well known but suddenly start hating them once they gain a mainstream audience. I bet if Bellator became the number one org and UFC took the number two slot you'd suddenly be a UFC fan again and say Bellator's not what it used to be.

LO fucking L at this shit.. UFC can't even control their fighters long enough to put a card together.
That's what happens when you let one idiot run the whole show and bank on the success of said idiot.
You don't see that in Bellator.
I have been calling this since day one. The UFC should have put their fucking foot down with Conor a year ago when he started his shit.
The UFC isn't going under with the loss of one fighter, even if he were to go to Bellator.

Word is that it’s not even true.
Apparently Conor was never going to be on that card. The UFC just used the opportunity to make it look like they were punishing him.

Looks like the UFC is about to announce Woodley vs Nate Diaz for 219!

I like both guys, but this is a stupid ass fight.

Bellator could really learn a thing or two about making super fights!
If Woodley lands clean on Nate, it's lights out. Woodley moves up and chases GSP out of the octagon and into retirement!

I do hope the fight does happens and Woodley whoops Nates ass.

Borg/Holm has been added.

That certainly helps, but they still need one more big fight like Woodley vs Diaz to sell this card.
