[Official Discussion Thread] UFC 215: Johnson vs Borg - A Historic Title Defense

[DrewDarden]

I've seen some grumblings about this card; I really like it. I'm a DJ fan and I'm pumped to see him break the record for title defenses. I also like Magny vs RDA, Stephens vs Melendez, and Cejudo vs Reis. I'm sure Nines vs Shevchenko will be a good fight, but I can't say that I care about that one.

WAR Mighty Mouse!

I've got DJ by stoppage.
Have Bullet girl by decision. If it's a stoppage it's defs Nunez. Really want Shev to win.
Literally don't know who to pick since i like both fighters but i'll just say RDA with the pressure and possible leg kicks.
Heart says Melendez but brain says Jeremy.
I've got Wilson Reis over Henry Cejudo.
I'll go for Ilir because he is a veteran who fought good fighters and i don't know anything about his opponent other than undefeated.
I have to root for Sara ****n McMan of course.

Damn now that i look at the card it's pretty decent srs. Just a shame with JDS.

[ChrisWiener]

Probably Johnson but lettuce be cereal, I ain't gonna watch this crap
WMMA lol but Shevchenko should win it, Nunes is good and can beat anyone but she has flaws and can be beat as well
RDA is too small for WW and Magny (being a big WW) will show it. Magny by decision
I like Pedro in this one
Melendez by easy decision


Absolute garbage card, full of women and midgets.

Fake news/10

As far as I'm concerned Silva has 11 consecutive defenses not 10, it's not his fault travis lutter couldn't make weight, also this isn't including his fights at lhw either.

[sooby]

lol @ this poverty ass card

would be funny as fuk if DJ loses but it's probably not going to happen

I have Valentina winning by decision
Magny is wayyyy too big for RDA imo. RDA struggled versus ferguson who was a taller and lankier guy and Magny is much bigger than Fergy.

I have Cejudo over Reis by decision and Melendez over Stephens by decision too

Nobody said it was anybody's fault. It's just a matter of the facts.

It's not the Negro League baseball players fault they weren't in the MLB, but do their records count in the MLB? No, they just weren't in the league, and that's just a fact, so it doesn't count.

Now that I think about it though - I'm not a baseball fan, but, if I were, I'd probably count the Negro League stats among the MLB stats because with respect to MMA, I count Pride, WEC, and Strikeforce titles, records, etc.. as legitimate against the UFC.

The wife and I are heading to Edmonton to watch this card. This will be about my 8th or 9th live event. Not the best card I've been to but definitely not the worst by far.

possible one of the biggest moment in UFC history and zero hype and zero marketing to make it more visible #sad

You sound like Rogan brah, hold the superlatives. I can only get so hyped about the prospect of watching DJ crush another hopeless can.

If he really wants to be GOAT status put a fight together with TJ or Cody and maybe people will give a chit.

[Yotone]

probably going to stop watching after the rda fight.

[441Forty]

I'll watch the rda and the pedro fights. I'll probably just look for the result and maybe gifs of the others

The card on the 16th will be solid, though. I'm excited for it. I'll watch that live over Canelo/GGG

[CorytheKiD]

if RDA were to somehow lose to Magny would that end his career

[DrewDarden]

It looks like Reebok is finally listening to some of the criticism and customizing the gear more to the individual fighter.

DJ's looked pretty good. Some of the others we a little cheesy looking.

[superamped]

Dos santos why u do this??

honestly i've never digged the look of reebok gear and this definitely doesn't change my mind

[Vayne]

Even after this title defense nobody will still watch his fights. Nunes fight should be main event.

[scooterbrah]

could not care any less about either of the championship fights but the other main card fights intredast me. stephens/Giblert could be a just bleed wet dream. neil magny crew as well

[DrewDarden]

Well this sucks.

You're alive bro?

[sooby]

lol,

another reason not to watch this card.

literally the only fight i['d watch is RDA vs Magny.

[MinisterOfLust]

What happened to the Reem challenge?

[Deathstroke]

I wanted to see Nunes fight too. Stephens/GIlbert too. Main event gone so makes me feel better like I won't be missing out AS MUCH.

I won't be alive for long Minister, "Rowdy" Ronda Browne is killing me off!

They have a lot to make up for!!

[DrewDarden]

They have a lot to make up for!!

Agreed, they've made a bunch of mistakes. But i think some of it is just growing pains lots of companies would have suffered getting into a brand new business.

[frozensparky]

Even though the main fell through I can honestly say so far the trip has been worth it. Staying downtown Edmonton. So far at our hotel we've ran into Amanda nunes coach, cowboy, DJ (really nice and took a pic with the wife), and Sean Shelby who also took a pic and chatted with us for a good 5-10 min at the hotel bar.
