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

Yeah, that seems likely. If I was him, I wouldn't want to risk a losing a title shot. Can't believe injuries have struck again though .

I'm looking forward to Rousey/Cigano, but obviously this ppv won't be doing anywhere the numbers it could have. Funny how this happens after UFC said they would be raising their prices to 60 bucks not too long ago .

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

well according to Uncle Dana, Rousey is the biggest star in combat sports. Her carrying a card should be no problem right?

 

[TheNatureBoy]

I would say somewhere in the low 300K area if they do a decent job promoting it. It's just that the UFC has shown a lack of creativity with promotion outside of a recent few events. Jones/Cormier real life bad blood was an easy sell, Connor being Connor is an easy sell, the return of Anderson Silva books itself, its the fights that don't do that, they seem to struggle with.

If Ronda can beat Cain under the right circumstances, imagine what she could do to JDS

"In any given moment, under the right circumstance, I think it is possible," Rousey said of beating Velasquez when asked if she thought she could.

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

motherfukker can go to in a space of a week

I was planning on going to UFC 185 in Dallas in March, but I decided to take my vacation somewhere else. The card looks decent right now, but by fight night it'll probably look like a UFC Fight Pass card.

Especially with

being the headliner.

Weidman out again, this fight is cursed brehs

That left hook I don't think we see him in the UFC anytime soon, he recently signed with Bellator.

I was scared for Scott Smith when started falling. Dude looked dead for a few seconds. Semtex turned that hook over in a manner that he shoulda been arrested for
