Fighting with one eye, the Silva and Henderson victory all show the epic determination and will to win. Even coming back from so many set back to win thing. That said like us all he’s done some ducking stuff in his time, @vegas-voss your correct. UFC make last fight on TV prelims (not fight pass) a big fight (aimed at casual fans) and designed to be exciting, the theory was if you increase the eyes on the freebies that converts to PPV. Presume the principal is still the same though ESPN+ may have changed that. I also don’t give a **** about Cruz going straight into a title shot. Particularly as there is little star appeal in that division. They were giving Aldo a title shot in that division after one fight and one loss were they not? I think ESPN isn't ppv now in the states ( well not technically ) is it not the DAZN format where it's a monthly fee ? But yeah it used/still has have a headline slot to get buy in hopefully.I liked Bisping was happy he won it but I still wanted Henderson to beat him as have always been a Hendo fan.Bisping was the first ultimate fighter series I watched right through.

I thought it ESPN + which is a monthly fee but had to pay for PPV on top of that. I thought ESPN+ gave you access to Fight pass and other UFC content, with PPV exclusive to them, No idea though 🤷🏻♂️ The build up to UFC 249 is going to be really strange but I suppose it’s just another thing we need to get used to. Expensive stuff can see how a lot of US viewers hate the ESPN deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fighter rise to the moment and other are hindered by the crowd. Do wonder if we maybe see a few strange results. I also see that Thor (Mountain from Game of Thrones) v Eddie Hall have announced a boxing match. They are both strongmen and can only imagine this could possibly be the worst boxing match in history Tony Ferguson won Tuf 13 , so I don't think it'll be problem for him.

He’ll sell the fight and is prepared to step up on little over a weeks notice. i think Masdival got a decent chance against Usman. His boxing significantly better that Usmans, he has great TTD and also active of his back. Plus Mike Brown is great game planner, Wouldn’t surprise me one bit Masdival won. Albeit would surprise me Usman just won via top control. Yeah fight island due next weekend think Masvidal should stick to street fighting.
