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.**Charlotte Flair Crew**

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

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.

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.**Misc BJJ & MMA Crew**

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.**Misc BJJ & MMA Crew**

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.
