What a horrible anticlimax from an event i was looking forward to, id rather see Conor / Poirier or Cowboy / Alvarez as a main event. MM v Cariaso is a joke of a matchup in the first place but i was fine with it being co main of 177, as a main event its the weakest of a number show in a LONG time!
Wrongway1985 wrote: » Sickened but I think UFC174 the last one MM headlined prob worse as it wasn't held up with as strong an undercard as UFC178 has... well on paper at least. UFC177 isn't the strongest card either so ya was happy with the flyweight title on there. Also think it was a great platform for interest in the sport here for the people only tuning in to watch Conors fight witnessing Jones and DC throwdown could've possibly led them to return even if Conor wasn't involved, serious doubts MM v Cariaso could have same effect.

"Alexander Gustafsson 39 minutes ago I just heard the news that Jones is injured and the fight is rescheduled to January 3???? Until then, I will be more than ready, it was MY fight to begin with and I WANT the fight as the number 1 contender. End of story!!"

To be honest unless i'm having a great time i'll probably go to bed after his fight,no great fights on that card other than Conor v Poirer. Am not a big fan of Cruz,he is Mighty Mouse mark 2 and then the main even we have a watered down Dominic Cruz in MM,both fights are sure to be decisions,definitely the 2 most boring divisions in the co and main event. This scenario worked out perfect for the UFC in all fairness because with the brawl and everything they know Jones,Cormier will do big numbers so they are gonna stick them 2 now headlining a bad card when they do fight,very little value these days for the UFC viewer,thought this was shaping up to be a great event but i'll still buy it now for Conors fight,but if Conor wasn't on it i wouldn't touch this event,Co and main event Cruz and MM,2 decision fighters in the 2 lowest divisions plus a womans fight.
ASOT wrote: » Conors fight is the Co Main Even, so youl be up for the night if your wanting to see it! Its still a fairly stacked card especially if they add Alvarez/Cowboy but its just disappointing to go from Jones/DC to MM/Cariaso which is a horrible mismatch. He doesnt deserve a title shot, he got one just for the fact it was awkward timing with people just after fighting. I would have much rathered see McCal/Dodson/Linker/Formiga in there! I doubt there going to do that with the fight either, the two events in January will either have one of Lawler/Hendricks 2 / Silva/Diaz so whichever card it gets added to will be stacked to the rafters IMO.
