The best MMA fighter of the past decade is making his big return among all the controversy surrounding him, in a rematch against his arch enemy in fighting, and the buzz is completely sucked up from the Mayweather/Connor circus fight.

Sad.
Thing is I don't think it's McGregor/May to assume such is to overestimate the UFC/MMA popularity I think it's a combination of things. We've been burnt by this fight like 3 times and the ghost of 200 still feels raw. And I think ppl would have been more excited if Jones took a tune up showing what he's got left. To just schedule he vs DC off the bat is makes for good business I guess but from a sporting standpoint it seems forced

it's not sucked up...Jones hasn't fought in 2 years and D.C. is a lame. there's been no fireworks this go around and Jones dominated him last time.

this isn't the same rivalry - plus you got Broner fighting the same night. It's still getting press, there's room enough for Floyd/Gregor and this fight but even GGG vs Canelo is getting more hype

Outside of Jones/DC I really wanna see this lawler/cerrone fight. I became a fan of Cowboy since he embarrassed Rick Story with that fierce ass punch/kick/punch combo he gave him :mjlol:


While I am rooting for Woodley, Maia scares the living shyt outta me. This dude is a human tumor if he latches onto you, and the worse thing is, he is going to do it whether you like it or not. Fighters know he is not going to throw one punch and just grapple you, but he still manages to do it :wow:

Gracie Jujitsu :banderas:

Fight will go the distance again. Jones hasn't had a stoppage since the Sonnen fight, and I don't see DC knocking him out either. This is a stacked card and all the UFC wants to promote is Conor.

Way UFC marketing 214 idk why they have the undercard they do. Yes the rematch is what we all wanna see but no ads for the other fights?
Yeah even if woodley/maia is a hard sell how the hell are you not going to promote evinger/cyborg debut like it's a big deal? and isn't this the card with cerrone/lawler?:why:making out it's a 1 fight card is how they look stupid when they lose the main event

I'm pulling for DC for this one
If Jones were to lose or get finished he would deserve it for his stupidity but I could never root for DC to win. His arrogance with just getting the belt without beating Jones has been unbearable (the way he constantly cites beating Anderson as a reason he should be considered the goat). If he beat Jones (even under these dubious circumstances) could easily see him retiring. And that would just leave a bad taste in my mouth

I don't think DC stands a chance
