Not bad for being up against the AFC Championship Game. The main card was on after the AFC title game. The prelims also managed to draw fairly well compared to past prelims. It probably helped that the game did quickly become uncompetitive.

Bobby Green is out of his April bout with Jorge Masvidal and will be replaced by Benson Henderson.
Also, Cro Cop/Gonzaga 2 is on for Poland in April.

Just watched the UFC on FOX: Gustafsson vs. Johnson weigh-ins, and oh man, the fans in attendance went NUTS when The Mauler walked up to the scale. Tomorrow night is gonna be insane.
By the way, all but one fighter made weight.

UFC fighter Colby Covington has started a shitstorm on twitter with anti-Irish racist remarks. He's using terms like "Dumb Micks" "Potato Farmers" "Filthy Irish" "Irish are delusional and a joke to real mma fans" "Irish are f***ing morons"
Apparently he's gunning for a fight with Cathal Pendred.

Not only is Rousey/Zingano the new main event of UFC 184, but the co-main is Raquel Pennington vs. Holly Holm, so it's the first time that the top two fights on a UFC PPV are women's bouts.

Well that stinks. Not the women main mind, that's cool; but Weidman/Belfort being off.

Bad timing with the PPV prices going up. That's an extra $5 saved for me at least.

Well I was reading about the UFC 183 weigh ins and Kelvin Gastelum missed the WW weight limit by a whopping 9 pounds and John Lineker has missed weight for the Flyweight limit for the 4th time.

Gastelum was apparently 5 lbs heavy this morning but was having 'flu like symptoms' throughout the week and had been throwing up this morning. Got hospitalized and, I would imagine, rehydrated there. So that explains the 9 lbs at least a little. Lineker is just Lineker at this point.

Lineker is just Lineker at this point. I sort of wonder if this fight is now a must win for Linker because if he wins surely he will be forced to move up to BW but if his loses well I have a feeling we will be seeing in him Betallor or WSOF in the next few months.

Both Lineker and Gastelum will be forced to move up in weight after tonight's fights due to their constant weight making troubles.

Fox deal and the various Fight Nights and such really has watered down UFC. You rarely get an event you can't wait to see anymore.
That said, Cinemark here in town is showing Silva/Diaz on the big screen, so I may go see that.

Not the biggest fight in terms of 'household name' value. But two really exciting, up-and-coming fighters all the same.
