[The Infamous]

UFC 184 just went from great card to God awful. Not only is Zingano/Rousey not a good main but Ellenberger/Koscheck(which should be on fs1 prelims) is not probably going to be the co main

From:

Weidman/Belfort
Rousey/Zingano
Jacare/Romero
Bigfoot/Mir
Ellenberger/Koscheck

To:

Rousey/Zingano
Holm/Pennington
Ellenberger/Koscheck
Ferguson/Medeiros
Munoz/Carneiro

Weidman is starting to look injury prone Geez. I figured they weren't gonna get outta #TheTimeIsNow without someone going down.

Starting to look? He's been injury prone breh

Thats why i hate getting hyped over a card....

motherfukker can go to in a space of a week

 

[El Guapo]

I've been waiting for this fight for a year and a half...

Spoiler

These past few years have me so jaded that if it isn't a week before a big fight, I'm always assuming that shyt is getting cancelled because someone injured themselves

 

[El Guapo]

Correction. Holly Holm vs Raquel Pennington is the new co main. What you brehs think this will do on PPV?

Slightly more buys than that PPV Mighty Mouse headlined

 

[The ADD]

Maybe they can give a free download of the Entourage movie with the PPV

Only thing saving that shard

 

[The Infamous]

184 isn't even stream worthy. First card I'm completely skipping in a while. If I hear good things about the fights, I'll download/watch the next day.

I said that it was a high possibility that either Weidman or Belfort wouldn't make that it to 184. Funny thing is they booked Jacare on the card for that specific reason and now they can't rely on him. Almost every fight that would have made this PPV remotely purchasable has been canceled or moved.

The time is now?

This card is a month away. Why the fukk isn't the UFC looking for a fighter to replace Weidman or any good fight they can scrap together. Machida vs Belfort, Romero vs Belfort, Mousasi vs Belfort, etc. Anything.

usually it takes a fighter over 5 weeks to prepare for a fight, there isnt enough time i think

It's a replacement fight, being a replacement generally means you have a short camp or sometimes none at all. We've had fighters takes fights on less than a week's notice. 4 weeks isn't that bad (2-3 weeks of training), especially if a fighter is already in shape.

mousasi could have been a option

Knowing Belfort, he probably wouldn't have accepted another fight and lose his shot. And 185 is ultra competitive. One loss sets you behind at least 4 guys. A lot of those guys aren't risking their standing on less then a months notice
