Amanda Nunes (c) vs Germaine de Randamie
Marlon Moraes vs José Aldo
Petr Yan vs Urijah Faber
Preliminary card
Geoff Neal vs Mike Perry
Ketlen Vieira vs Irene Aldana
Matt Brown vs Ben Saunders
Early Preliminary card
Chase Hooper vs Daniel Teymur
Brandon Moreno vs Kai Kara-France
Jessica Eye vs Viviane Araújo
Punahele Soriano vs Oskar Piechota

My fantasy league fighters for this card:
Colby Covington, Petr Yan, Germaine de Randamie, Ketlen Vieira
Herman's:
Max Holloway, Jose Aldo, Kai Kara-France
Kei's:
Kamaru Usman, Mike Perry, Alexander Volkanovski, Marlon Moraes, Amanda Nunes, Jessica Eye
Evil AI:
Irene Aldana, Viviane Araújo



Also to note: Amanda Nunes is now officially the last remaining title holder of the old UFC belt. One that she will not be defending at this event. Does this mean she will get another new belt to hold up with the old? She won the Featherweight belt a year ago, and the only real challenger for that belt would be ex-champ Germain de Randamie, the woman she's defending the Bantamweight title. my god, what an absolute cluster**** the featherweight division is.

Re: UFC 245

Mostly hyped for Holloway vs Volkanovski and Aldo vs Moraes. I also expect Brown vs Saunders to be violent.
Not so hyped for the cardio/fence hugging contest that is the Main Event.

I'm actually cautiously optimistic for Usman vs Covington. a wrestler vs wrestler matchup has a tendency to end up a kickboxing fight.

Aside from the ones you mentioned, I'm also looking forward to seeing what madness Mike Perry pulls out of his hat.

That was bitter. I had picked Ketlen. Aldana is the real deal. Not just a lucky punch. She was looking great the entire round against a killer

Re: UFC 245

What a maneuver! I didn’t expect Neal to finish Perry. Wasn’t as competitive I thought it’d be but good **** non the less.

Just spamming that high kick!
I love Mike Perry and I hate to see this. What can he do to change his current downward path?

I really don’t know. He’s been on the receiving end of several losses recently. He needs to be matched up with some lesser opponents that he can finish or look good against. Against the elite he’s shown that he’s a step behind.

Re: UFC 245

That division isn't getting any easier. There will still a lot of opportunities for a guy like Mike Perry, but I don't think he can swim with the sharks in the UFC.

Goeff Neal looks like a killer. Those hands are wicked fast. This has been an excellent card so far. Good stuff tonight.

Here we go. All aboard for Faber's funeral

The brass balls on Faber

Re: UFC 245

Faber made me like him. He wanted a real fight. I have respect for that.

I've been a fanboy of Conor from the Mendes fight to the bus incident. I have to say I hope Cowboy wins. Justin deserves it, Cowboy deserves it... And to be honest; Conor deserves it

Re: UFC 245

Aldo did well at 135, I thought the weight change would affect him more. Aldo controlled the center and never really gave much space to Moraes. He almost caught Aldo in the beginning but since then it’s been all Aldo. Surprised Moraes won that decision.

I worry for Nunes next fight. It seems like she’s more concerned with fighting Clarissa Shields than GDR. History shows that doesn’t end well. Despite that I am going with the rightful favorite in Nunes. I cannot deny her place as WMMA GOAT as of now.
