This card is weak as hell.

 

[The G.O.D II]

What a trash card. I cant believe they thought they could sell out an arena again without a massive name like Ronda

Thought I was a casual UFC fan but I only recognize like 3-4 names on this card including the Main event

 

[So UnThotful]

This might be a weak card but for Someone whonhas lived in New Zealand this card is lit for me

I'm real hyped for the Justin Tafa Fight. He grew up in the same neighborhood as I did in New Zealand

This is a 50/50 fight and the betting lines show it. It could go either way. It's going to end in a KO and probably won't go past the first couple rounds. Don't even know how to call it.

Hmmm weak ass card besides the main event ..

I live in Melbourne but fukk that I'm watching from home hahshs

 

[ChatGPT-5]

people are calling this a weak card? Bam Bam, Hooker, Al, Israel and Bobby Knuckles, Tafa, they all bring it. People will change their mind after the card, remember this post.

Damn, didn't even know they were fighting this weekend

betting lines are dead even on the main event, which makes sense... not sure what it's gonna look like. From the the Yoel fights, Whitaker got a chin and has some power of his own, tho it feels like he been injured/inactive for a minute. Whereas Israel got all the moves and heart but the scrawny frame always has you questioning his power and chin, even tho he showed it vs Gastelum. Idk

 

[Mantle Drunk]

Just and first glance I seen Iaquinta as the underdog and immediately threw money on him. When I sat and actually thought about the fight I think he will get smoked. Oh well hopefully other bets I made this weekend will make up for it.

That's why they were advertising Holly's old ass on the main card before she got injured.
