Card would rival UFC 100 for sure. I don't care for the Tate fight tho I hope Cyborg gets signed within the next month and half

I don't know if the UFC would be willing to risk her missing weight or being severely diminished with the no IV rules in tact and no proof she can make 135. I'd definitely prefer that match up but I just think the risk factors are too high until Cyborg shows and proves she can make that weight. I guess they can build on the fact that Tate went 3 rounds with Ronda and is legitimately the top opponent in that division for the time being, but I agree...it's not the most exciting match-up. At this point Ronda is selling her fights by herself, it's how good can she possibly look this time rather than "will she lose." Not great for fight fans, but it's good for the casuals.

No buzz for the card on saturday? Smiling Sam fighting

I can't fukk with this shyt. Either cut the weight or STFU until she fights Tate again.

I remember reading something about Cyborgs doctor saying the weight cut that low could endanger her life. Catchweight might be the only way this happens so it's up to Honda but I doubt she'll stop ducking her anytime soon.

bet Honda starts calling her out after Cyborg begins considering retirement

Last week she was going to make the cut

If she can't do it fine but stop moving the goal post

Yo Alvey vs Brunson is gonna be CRAZY! That's a great match-up I didn't realize. Johnson/Dariush should be good too. I'm interested in getting another look at Willie Gates and I used to get hype for Uriah Hall fights (not any more but worth a mention). It ain't a bad card now that I look at it. I could make some money on these lesser known names.

Wishful thinking like a muthafukker. No way they put on three title fights they'll need go 4 hours. I think Cat might be suffering from that Paul Harris Syndrome

This a potential card for Cowboy Stadium. They're going to need to stack it like crazy to do well in ticket sales.

Too much potential for disaster with possible injuries etc...

Meltzer is saying UFC 189 buys are in the 800-850k range. Early predictions for UFC 190 have it topping 189.

Those are very good numbers for both cards. Especially considering Aldo had to pull out and the 190 card was hot garbage.

No matter what card you put together, injuries are always a possibility.

Drop off is an understatement breh. Those numbers will nosedive off a cliff. That card is not cracking 200k buys. It's a better card than 190 though.
