Great card!
Etim vs Barboza should be bad a$$
2 fights in brazil for brazil’s special forces Paulo…not bad!
Looking forward to seeing Rumble make his MW debut. Hope he puts vitor away.
this is a great card! sadly though i don’t think the ppv will sell well because of the markebility of the fighters. thoghts
You may be right but the gate $$$ will be insane!!
I don’t know if it will sell but it’s stacked with talent.It is sad to think that someone as talented as Jose Aldo might not be a good sell for ppv but Brock is or should I say was. If this card had Anderson Silva on it,it would be huge! Anyone who is really a fan should be psyched to see Anthony Johnson kick Vitor Belforts butt! I think he is every bit as exciting to watch as Aldo.It should be an exciting card for sure.
