Main CardDaniel Cormier (c) vs. Derrick Lewis Chris Weidman vs. Ronaldo Souza David Branch vs. Jared Cannonier Karl Roberson vs. Jack Marshman Derek Brunson vs. Israel Adesanya Preliminary Card (Fox Sports 1)Jason Knight vs. Jordan Rinaldi Sijara Eubanks vs. Roxanne Modafferi Julio Arce vs. Sheymon Moraes Ben Saunders vs. Lyman Good Early Preliminary Card (UFC Fight Pass)Matt Frevola vs. Lando Vannata Shane Burgos vs. Kurt Holobaugh Brian Kelleher vs. Montel Jackson Adam Wieczorek vs. Marcos Rogério de Lima This was supposed to be a huge card that was even rumored to be featuring a returning Jon Jones. Then Jones couldn't get cleared in time. At one point Sijara Eubanks was one half of the headliners. Then Dustin Poirier vs. Nate Diaz, Chris Weidman vs. Luke Rockhold, and some other bouts fell through. Now headlining we have Daniel Cormier in his first HW title defense against Derrick Lewis, a guy who in his last two bouts got a fluke win and won a unanimous decision in what was called the worst HW fight of all time. This should be an easy win for DC, but with things going the way they are watch Derrick get a first found KO. Anyway, here is a pic of me eating calamari:

Derrick Lewis is gonna steal your food.
This ppv is meh, like it’s not must see. Rockhold doesn’t even care about being there anymore and Weidman is on a decline.
Now the main event should’ve been Brock against DC, but Brock can’t piss clean anymore, f*** Brock hasn’t been drug free since the nineties.

I'm assuming Brock wasn't ready (take that however you want, LOL) and Dana just wanted to capitalize on Derrick Lewis' instafame after the last PPV.

I think the suspension was up either by now or by the end of the year.

The UFC was completely screwed for an MSG headliner, threw a tonne of money at DC to fight injured against a guy who blatantly said he doesn't think he's got the gas tank to win the belt. I wouldn't be surprised if DC gets $2 million disclosed plus PPV points

I don't see that happening mind you, but it would be hilarious.

I would love Lewis to get a lucky punch on DC’s jaw, but it ain’t happening. Unless it’s Jon Jones, DC ain’t losing.

As in the MMA thread I want to see Cormier vs. Lesnar,but I can't say as a casual UFC fan I wouldn't love Lewis vs. Lesnar. Those hype video, promos and press conferences would be f***ing awesome.

Hype would be better for Brock vs. Lewis, but I’m burned out on WWE UFC and just want UFC UFC back....not that we’ll get it with Brock vs. DC considering how that angle started.
Dana White is terrible.

Dana White is terrible. Yea, no doubt as soon as DC beats Lewis you probably going have Brock do the same shit like last time and then it's Dana trying to make another spectacle of something especially with Khabib and Conor on the suspension list

There's no buzz for this at all, It’s kind a shame too. I love real title fights, especially for the heavier divisions (unless it is a super hyped division like LW). This getting thrown together in such short order shows it is possible for UFC to have more real title fights even if the challenger doesn’t seem all that convincing. I kind of like it though. It’s like Bret Hart facing Fatu for the title on Raw. Anyway, in a perfect world I wish we could have two title fights for each title per year. If the champ can’t defend because of health he/she gets immediately stripped. Then he/she gets an immediate title fight when they are healthy to do so. None of this interim title garbage. It will never happen, but thar’s what I like. Overall though, yeah this card is a cobbled together mess with no hype.

So are they just pitching him softballs to make sure the Lesnar fight happens? Lewis even flat out said he wasn't ready for a title shot yet. This is going to do terrible Pay Per View Numbers...
