Could be a good card and great that the prelims are televised also

Most looking for to the masvidal khabilov fight myself

See nothing but a very easy win for kennedy and reckon (hope)
chiesa will beat smith in front of his brothers and sisters

El Guapo!

Looking forward to the Masvidal fight too.
Should be a good scrap.

I reckon Yves Edwards will get his marching orders if he loses. He's going nowhere in the division and has been hanging around prelim cards for too long now. Which is a shame because I always got excited to see him fight for some reason!

Mr. Manager

This is such a nothing card IMO and not just cause there's no Brock Lesnar fighting but there's only 3 fights here that have any real bearing on where the winner goes.

+1 to ElGuapo, really looking forward to seeing Khabilov/Masvidal - wanna see Kabilov throw some more suplexs around

MrStuffins

Definitely a nothing card, but i'll take a nothing card over no card!

Might have a bet on Khabilov. As much as I like Masvidal, I can see the match basically going like this

pablohoney87

Main event will be borin as hell I reckon with Kennedy gettin a close decision.

the womens fights will definitely steal the show

Mr. Manager

The women have been absolutely smashing it since getting into the UFC. Such a welcome addition.

garypowermail

Have to agree the womens fights on TUF have been stealing the show too , looking forward to seeing liz carmouche in action on this one

Magic M

Anyone got a legit stream link? one without bull**** like "complete this survey and waste pointless amounts of time and still not get the stream" pop ups

he he night of the groin shots.
Weird end to a fight 3 in a row and fight ends.

adamski8

Contender for weirdest conclusion to a fight? 3 groin kicks in r1 by green. 2nd gets him a point deduction. 3rd earns him the win! Weird!
Mccarthey determining it wasnt an illegal kick and calls the fight off for faking gettng kicked!

Could not believe he won that fight. I thought before the break he lost it.

Time to just record and skip pass the military stories

What a way to win a fight 3 kicks to the balls

adamski8

I dont understand why he didnt just let the fight continue with krass on the ground if he deemed it was a groin kick. Or point deduct krass and get on with the fuping fight.

He stopped the fight because Krause was unable to defend himself and was severely hurt.

Rightly or wrongly Big John determined the kick was legal. Why would Krause have been deducted a point?

Pretty boring card, but wasn't expecting much else. The stories of all those people getting crippled fighting for oil and ruining their own and their families' lives followed by chants of "USA, USA!"... what's wrong with Americans?

Tubbs4

Thought the card was ok. Just skipped the stories but still amazed at the 3 kicks to groin equals a win. Thank god Kongo is gone or he be the champion with those rules.

JoeyJJ

Just watching now, does mike Goldberg learn a new phrase lately will he ever shut up about changing levels.

Had to get that off my chest.

Chewabacca

We don't get to say it often, but I think Big John really f'ed up in the Krause fight.

For me Masdival vs. Khabilov was the most important fight of the night, really a reflection of how weak the card was. Some very suspect judging, although it was a coin toss. I would have given it to masvidal 29/28 but wasn't upset by them giving Khabilov the nod. It amazes me though, that 2 of the judges gave every round to Khabilov.

Xlami

To be fair this card was meant to be headlined by Machida giving it far more relevance. Any fight practically has title implications in the women's division the reality is very few people care when it's not yer wan. I think it just goes to show that the division hasn't really taken off.

I'm not trying to bash women's mma here at all. I know many people on the forum enjoy the fights but it hasn't been received well by casual fans IMO. And without rousey I could see the division collapse.

p to the e

I actually enjoyed the card. Can't say I disagreed with the McCarthy stoppage too much. The ref thought the strike was clean but Krause went down hence refusing to fight ergo it was a TKO.

Was really impressed with Natal even though he lost. Really gave him no chance in this fight but he was controlling the fight quite well until the unpleasantness.
