disappointed with this card, expecting better with this card being the international fight week card.
So happy illegal streaming is a thing. Don’t want to pay $70 for a lot of these recent PPV card, $70 for 1 or 2 fights I actually care about is a rip off, a card being $70 worth should be 4-5 fights I want to see main card

@Damien
Saw a lot of people complaining that paid for the last 2 PPV's. Apparently the ESPN+ platform is atrocious. It's supposedly been that way for awhile but has just gotten progressively worse.
I saw lots of comments from people on social media saying they paid to watch 300 and 301 and the stream just straight up didn't work. Pretty embarrassing when your customers that paid to watch still need to find an "illegal" stream to get their moneys worth.
I agree that this card is looking pretty weak. You can tell by the rest of the card that the UFC is just milking McGregor for eyeballs here. I'm looking forward to the Lok Dog fight and the co-main and couldn't care less about the rest.

Arlovski vs. Buday
Andrei Arlovski, DEC
LOL I'm guess people have never seen Buday fight and blindly go by age.

Martin Buday is a horrible fighter for sure but there is a reason why he is 4-1 in the UFC.
He is a heavyweight fighter. In that division you dont need to be good to have sucess... unless you are at the very top of the rankings.
He will do his best to put the fight in the ground, clich a lot and overall be a boring out of shape heavyweight that will win a decision against an oldman that should already be retired.
If Arlovski wins this one I will be very surprised.

It's a shame they don't stack it more but I get it, it's a business and they don't need good matchups to sell this, Conor will sell on his own.

McGregor vs. Chandler
Michael Chandler, TKO, R2
Someone's def going out here. Either a RD 1 KO for Conor or RD 2 KO for Chandler. McGregor's reach advantage is gonna help him w/ range control for sure but the biggest factor that makes me question picking him is what his body is going to be like after all the drug & alcohol abuse. He's obviously still been training and all that, but no where near the work Chandler's put in over the years waiting for this fight & this fight only. If Chandler wins, I do see a rocky 1st RD for him though, even likely getting dropped with a step-back left hand from an angle after attempting to hit Conor with a bomb of a right hand. Might change my pick later, we'll see. Chandler also has the wrestling advantage on his side as well.
Hill vs. Rountree Jr.
Jamahal Hill, TKO, R1
Seems to be the safe pick here. Hill by DEC could be a possibility here too. He also has a nice reach & height advantage here. Could Khalil pull this off here? For sure, especially w/ the question of what Hill's chin might be like after coming back from a KO loss so soon.
Swanson vs. Fili
Andre Fili, DEC
I'll go w/ DEC for now but I could see Fili getting the KO in the frst two RD's. Longshot Prop tho? Fili by SUB.
Waterson-Gomez vs. Robertson
Gillian Robertson, SUB, R2
Def a SUB, likely in the 2nd. Could even be by DEC.
Hernandez vs. Tsuruya
Rei Tsuruya, TKO, R2
RD 2 finish for sure here.
Pyfer vs. Barriault
Joe Pyfer, DEC
Could see Pyfer getting a KO, but Barriault actually has a half decent chin.
Bueno Silva vs. Chiasson
Macy Chiasson, DEC
Chiasson by DEC. The height & reach is gonna help especially due to Bueno-Silva's sloppy stand-up. If Chiasson loses it's by finish likely
Talbott vs. Ghemmouri
Payton Talbott, TKO, R3
Yea, if ur getting knocked out by William Gomis then Talbott is def putting ur lights out. I see a 2nd or 3rd RD KO easy here. Imma say early in the 3rd.

It says that the venue is T-Mobile Arena but I have seen many articles saying that it will be at The Sphere. Anyone have any ideas?

Procházka vs. Hill is the only answer. Sadly it's probably gonna be Smith or something though

MVP - Garry fight is a good addition. Not too excited about this event, though.
