Preliminary Card (UFC Fight Pass)

Joe Riggs vs. Ron Stallings (MW)
Joaquim Silva vs. Nazareno Malegarie (LW)

Strong main card, shame about the main event. I've tried time and time again, but I just can't get into Mighty Mouse as a champion.

Ross Pearson fights are always enjoyable, and Andrade/Pennington should be fun. Reckon it might be make-or-break for Joe Riggs though, not sure he'll remain on the roster if he loses three in a row.

I have legit never really delved into the flyweight division and the bantamweight division as much no hate for those divisions though.
DJ legit looks like an alien with that oversized cranium.
I want to see Vanzant and Jedrzjerzkc scissor together.
Hmm im picking Arlovski and good guy Johnson.

[5arG]

Strong card overall.

Dodson/Johnson I was a great fight. I hope Dodson takes it this time, I like him as a person. Such a funny dude.
So... is Arlovski/Mir title eliminator or is it Stipe/Rothwell. Or is it the fight between the winner of those. Or is it Overeem/JDS? Or is it gonna be Cain/Werdum III? Who knows?

Pearson/Felder should be an exciting matchup

[io31]

I want to see Mir vs (Dodson and Johnson). Mir might need to jut to 250 to make it fair.

[Workout4ever]

mir/arlovski is a tough fight to pick ... i'm taking arlovski i guess

[AirJordanB]

No kidding, how hard is it to put a date on a flyer?

[trainreqq]

When is this?

Sept. 5th


Jesus Christ I'm sick and tired of women on ppv posters.

That fight is so irrelevant it's not even funny.

Slap to the face to great veterans like Ross Pearson, Francisco Rivera that a WMMA fight is ahead of them on the card, jus lol

[visionarybrah]

Mirin

[Vayne]

Arlovski and Mir should be main event, nobody wants to watch Johnson wrestle **** Dodson for 5 rounds.

[RScary15]

Good card overall Imo

if dad bod Mir shows up then rip Arlovski

Dodson didn't look great against Makovsky, MM looks better every fight and has improved a lot since their first meeting.

[CorytheKiD]

Anthony Johnson looking big as ****.

[MinisterOfLust]

Aware me about Jimi Manuwa. I don't know too much about him. I think I saw him fight once.

Powerful kickboxer. Looked impressive on a 3 fight win streak before getting KTFO by Gus.

Stereotypical British grappling liabilities. Johnson is a terrible match-up for him.

The problem with Rumble is that he gets sloppy after he hurts his opponents and he has terrible cardio. If Manuwa can make it past round 2 without getting ktfo, he wins by decision.

[zhengterry]

we really havent seen much of manuwa at all. all his fights were stopped short due to injury except for the short notice fight against gustaffson. rumble is a lot to handle but hopefully for us fans they both stand and bang hnnngh.

[Zwicker]

Not the worst ppv in recent memory, but pretty weak overall.

Alex Chambers? Isn't she the one from the female TUF season who lost her first fight IIRC. Nothing against her specifically, but how can the UFC justify her on the main event of a ppv? I mean, if they did it with Shayna Baszler than why not everyone else?

Seems like the main event of a ppv should be all relevant fights in the divisions with (relatively) well-known fighters. I've never even heard of Jan Blachowicz and he's fighting Corey Anderson who IIRC was another TUF guy, but is coming off a loss.

What time does this card start?

If Rumble gets tired he's going to Dan Hardy this fool. That's what I mean, Rumble is probably going to knock him out, but if he can't he'll just take him down.

[Deathstroke]

What time does this card start?

Same, 10 ET on PPV
8 ET on FOx S1

I got both set to DVR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DFS200]

He kind of directly caused 2 out of 3 of the injuries though. If you get a chance watch his fight with Kingsbury, that's the one that got everybody excited about Manuwa.

[VladimirVega]

Dafuq? Manuwa looked bigger than Rumble at the weight-ins! Also Arlovski - 237lbs vs Mir - 266lbs. Strong.

[Gainzzz]

Card isn't bad at all, some guaranteed great fights. I think Manuwa has more of a chance than people think but it'll be tough to beat Rumble without wrestlefking him.
