Charles Oliveira is fighting someone else as well, some no name, at least not someone I heard of ... Arman Tsarukyan in April 13.

So Oliveira is not fighting Islam. Gaethje is not ... these are the two top contenders, and they will need to rest up from this fight before a title shot. Islam is idle ... WTF?

The whole division is stagnant

gaethje is probably trophy head collecting with big names, max is one of the 145 goats with a name and will be fun for him to strike with him

i feel like charles is going to clear out the division for islam... taking on young up and comer ranked guys since he already beat justin, dustin, michael, beniel, etc

I'm shocked by how much the UFC has lost its popularity over the years.

Title fight tomorrow night, no one gives a fuck :lol

As someone who pays almost no attention to MMA, I have to say some of the factors that contribute to me not caring at all are that I don't know who any of the fighters are... back in the day even without paying attention I knew who most of the big names were.

Also there's too many weight classes and such, the whole system of making weight is BS top to bottom and everything just ends up being grappling. I know it's very technical and takes a lot of stamina and skill, but I don't want to watch 2 guys just hold eachother on the ground.

When someone finally gets free for a big KO shot it feels more like it was by luck than skill.

Yup there's no stars anymore. Usman was the last hope really, and he just kind of fell apart

But for some reason it's still incredibly successful. The same people cheer for Donald Trump though, so

i think it's the volume of events and production setup

i'll be watching DDP vs strickland, hoping DDP wins so we can have the fight we really want China vs Africa :troll: :badpokerface:

tbh i'm kind of liking ONE FC they put out some interesting stuff & fun fights.

l like their MT with mma gloves, saw some fights that had stamp fairtex and smilla sundell and they were pretty entertaining.

pretty good title fight strickland vs ddp

Just watched highlights, it looked pretty even, both fighters looked beat up. Usually it takes a lot for challenger to beat the champ so to do it on a split decision is kinda rare.

My buddy was more impressed with the "fuck Trudeau" chants..

kayla harrison vs holly holm ufc 300

another headkick KO on a judoka, or will she get wrestled to death?

I'm gonna lmao if she doesn't make weight

Better not be a main event

i had to google, holy crap she fought at 155?!

UFC 298, well everyone I wanted to win lost, but not really surprised I guess

Also not sure if anyone follows one fc MT but I quite like their events. Here’s a nice fight

There was an UFC big event last night? .... I seriously didn't even know. I'm telling you, UFC is becoming so irrelevant!

Maybe because it was a featherweight main? I watched the main after the Canucks game, and for me it was just two random little guys, but the crowd was completely into it. It was a good short fight, but could have been a prelim for me, given how anonymous and vanilla the guys were.

I would say UFC needs more crossover stars, they're all gone now, but for some reason they are still insanely successful with mains like this.

I guess Volkanovski isn't a 'no name', he puts on a good show and is a good guy but I don't think my head is in the sand, I honestly did not hear a peep about it.

To non hardcore fans he definitely is a no name. He's not going to get attention from non regular viewers like Brock Lesnar or Ronda Rousey or GSP or Conor McGregor or Jon Jones would. He's basically a guy who is a tremendous fighter, a champion, but will probably be forgotten about in a year or so.

This isn't a judgment on him or his abilities.. He's just not a star

Does the UFC have any stars left that fight regularly? Seems like the few they have left fight like once every 2 or 3 years now.

Volk got folded by some Spanish dude I never heard of. That made me realize UFC has slowly lost its grip on me.

Costa/Whitaker fight was really good, I recommend giving it a watch.

Calf kicks are making this sport boring, I have to say.

Michael Venom Page is debuting in the UFC next card, that's kinda cool.

yair vs T-city started off as a banger and ended like

Just leaving this here ... technically boxing but. I didn't even hear about this until afterwards.

Another main event and I didn't even know about it till this morning !! Mikey, gotta tell me these things!!

Is Saint Denis a someone?
