I’m thinking that with all the available talent, the UFC should NEVER stage a sh!tty event ever again.
Now they can’t help what drops inside the cage, but every card and every match should be of interest to the fans, either casual or hardcore…
Sorry Jcohl, are you saying this fight is a poor match for the prelims?
Not at all.
Just the opposite in fact.
Each UFC card seems to get more and more stacked, and I want to make sure it stays that way, with strong undercards and prelim fights like this one.
Apologies if I made it seem otherwise…
Oh ok, I just wasn’t sure. I totally agree with you! This year has some of the best cards i’ve ever seen. Props to Joe Silva!
Nelson vs. Wiman fight seems like the kind of fight where the loser takes some time away from the UFC
