This should seriously be on free TV. They put better free cards on than this.

I don't usually complain about cards, have fight pass, pay for PPV's, etc. But this card is the absolute drizzling ****s and I have no intention to buy it or watch it sat. I'll download it Sunday and watch the main event.

Yeah lol.

I have no idea how that fight will go. I could see TJ dominating again. I could see Barao whipping TJ's ass in the first....any ones guess as far as I can tell. Over all, I don't think Barao had enough time to fix what he needed to work on to beat TJ so I guess I am leaning towards a TJ win but it is Barao and he is capable of coming back and making it look easy. Would help if he gets another lucky, fast stoppage Faber style hhehehehehehe

**scooterbrah** · 08-25-2014, 02:56 PM

i wont be going out of my way to watch this one.

I am hoping Barao wins. I watched the countdown and it seems like TJ is not training as hard or taking it as seriously as Barao is. He is buying boats, going on trips to mexico etc. Barao is back in the gym going hard(granted tj could be training just as hard but not showing it in the count down.)

Weakest overall PPV card in a long time. Will probably only get like 50k buys. Honestly, that's what I'm looking forward to the most. Seeing the ppv buys afterwards.

**Trapezeus** · 08-25-2014, 03:35 PM

Only main event is worthy

**bishdipbrah** · 08-25-2014, 03:38 PM

One of the worst fight cards ever serious should air that for free and combined the fights from friday into 1 card and have that as the ppv

But the main event is gna be straight, will probly just stream when they come on, wanna see what a hungry barao can do

**DFS200** · 08-25-2014, 04:18 PM

It's a very weak card, should have put Cejudo vs. Jorgensen on the main and given them a countdown segment imo.

The main event is strong though, and has a ton of potential, if Barao wins it could be very interesting. I would like to see Barao reclaim the title and continue being dominant, maybe he was sick or injured or something.

**ImDangerous** · 08-25-2014, 04:34 PM

im pumped for the main event though

**nikeoneplatinum** · 08-25-2014, 04:53 PM

Sick undercard, what's the main card look like?

**Jfern689** · 08-25-2014, 04:57 PM

How can people call it a weak card? The card hasn't even happened. Let's judge the fights after the event is over.

For some reason I see Barao taking the belt back in a war.

**InfiniteRage** · 08-25-2014, 05:14 PM

i honestly dont even feel bad streaming cards anymore, some of them i dont even bother watching for free, that tells you how good they are.

**mmaguy90** · 08-25-2014, 05:23 PM

TJ Buttsexshaw is keeping that gold homies

Weak card as in it doesn't have many important matchups, or really well known fighters competing.
Every fight could end up being awesome, doesn't change the fact that it is a weak card. Im interested in TJ and Castillo that's it.

This is Dana White propaganda. I've seen some Bellator cards stacked with no names from top to bottom (even in the main event) which wound up having good fights. That doesn't mean I'd pay $50 for it though.

**Donoreem** · 08-25-2014, 07:04 PM

Frankly, the UFC should be ****ing ashamed of themselves for not making this a free card on Fight Pass. It shows that they really don't care about their fans, only the $$ they can squeeze out of them.

Barao/Dillashaw II is an amazing fight, no doubt about it. However, it's happening way too soon. The whole point of rematches to non-controversial bouts is to give the two fighters time to develop skills and strategies so they can deal with each other more efficiently the second time around. There's nearly zero way Barao has been able to shore up his flaws and work on a new strategy to expose TJ's in 3 months. This is ****ing stupid.

Then we have the undercard, which may legitimately be the worst PPV undercard since the 90's. Now, Castillo/Fergy, Ferreira/Nijem, Brunson/Larkin, Jorgs/Cejudo, and Soto/Birchak are all solid fights. However, they belong on AXS TV under the RFA banner, not on a UFC PPV.

tj rapes the brazilian and we hear 10,000 excuses from them

This is such a dumb meme. American fighters make excuses just as often as Brazilians do.

**Tresiel** · 08-25-2014, 07:18 PM

Really wanna see:
Bethe Correia vs. Shayna Baszler

Just for the troll factor, I want her to single handedly take out the "4 horsewomen".

Fun little known fact : Bethe Correia's Striking Instructor at Pitbull Brother's Team is Netinho Pegado. The last name may seem familiar, as he shares a last name with his son.

Ramsey Nijem is on the main card. Enough said.

Also, unless Barao magically became faster these past 3 months, he's going to lose convincingly again. Speed kills. If he does somehow win, though, does TJ get an automatic, undeserved rematch?

IDK man.. I think that huge punch in the first round that nearly KO'd barao had him on goofy street the remainder of the fight. If TJ doesn't land the same huge punch very early, it could look very different.

Nijem is a solid Lightweight, not sure where this comment came from. Has he lost a few fights? Yeah, definitely. But his opponents who he's lost to sit at a combined record of 44-5. So, the opponents who beat him have a win % of 90%. He's not out there losing to bums, you know?

Barao doesn't need to be "faster" to beat Dillashaw. If speed was the only way to beat speed? You'd never see a slower fighter beat a faster fighter.

I wonder why they wouldn't put cejudo on the main card. Anyone who has followed wrestling knows he's a once in a generation athlete/wrestler being the youngest US olympic gold medalist. That fight alone could have harnessed quite a few more views in my mind. It will be interesting to see how he does in his debut.

**Magicmees** · 08-26-2014, 12:39 AM

Very excited for main event, rest of the card is kinda meh tho.

Hopefully Barao takes the belt back.

Because Cejudo is going to get thrashed. He's not, well, good.

This card is so depressing and pathetic lol. The UFC is in such a slump with these PPV's. Something needs to be done.
