UFC Fight Night: Gustaffson v. Manuwa - March 8 - Fight Pass

[The JareBear]

I enjoyed the fights today a lot. If the cards deliver like that, I am happy with the 10 dollar a month sub.

Not sure how I feel about Pickett winning 30-27 on two cards, but I can't argue with the win even though I liked how his opponent fought.

Jimi is a pretty scary dude, physically freakish. I was a little worried for Gus to be honest. Wow, that's all I can say. Gus is a monster. I can't wait to see him get another crack at it.

Hardy did a pretty good job for sure.

Yeah, I thought Hardy was on point. The ring announcer was just yelling though and they couldn't even get my man a suit to wear lol.

I dont know why they didnt use Martinez. He used to do the WEC fights and has served as the UFC's backup to Buffer when Buffer cant make it.

The play by play guy was decent too. What was his name? I missed it. The ring announcer sucked.

It looks like they were trying for an all British announce crew. The ring announcer didn't work at all. It felt like a cheesy local amateur promotion

It felt like a BAMMA card to me.

The announcing crew is most likely going to do the other International cards. Hardy has a 6 fight contract I think.

The Hardy Crew will do all Europe/Middle East/Africa cards
Anik/Florian will do US FS1 cards and all Brazil and Asia cards.
