    Masvidal has been in full flight according to Poirier. I know he's his teammate but not the only source saying that Masvidal has been very active.

    Seems to be a big interest in this card.

    As one of the saddos that spends his time virtually hunched in various hotel function rooms watching the live streams of weigh ins, there's loads watching the different outlets streams. Not mcgregor numbers obviously but still higher than usual.

    Embeddeds also clocking in at 1.4/1.5/1.9m views so far.

    Obviously doesn't necessarily translate to a buy rate but interesting metrics to follow.

    Aldo and Yan both made 135.
    Holloway made 145
    Usman made 170

    Waiting on Masvisal and Volk to make the title fights official

    I can't see anyway Jorge wins, I actually think people backing him are crazy. I expect Holloway to lose exactly how he did last time, he can't fight any other way. Aldo v Petr will be fight of the night i think. Yan by KO.

    Fight Week card is always huge interest. But this seems to tick a lot of boxes to draw in fans.

    3 title fights.
    2 rematches
    6 current or former champions
    1 fighter on a weeks notice


    That's just the main/PPV card

    I was gonna mention that her Instagram career will bring lots of attention, didn't want to belittle that fight. But realistically, neither are top fighters.

    ya i was joking. Im sure she draws a bit tho or she'd have been cut. Think this is her last fight anyway unless she wins in good fashion

    Good going on 6 days notice to hit weight, he must not have to cut that much, seeing as he was eating pizza on the way over.
