How excited are you for UFC 296?

[Davidjacksonjones]

The last UFC event of the year
Main and co-main are decent. Looking forward to seeing Shavkat but think it will be pretty one sided and predictable
Actually quite hyped for Ferguson vs Paddy, honestly no idea who wins. Does Ferguson finally get a win again, or will he tie the record for most consecutive losses.
Seeing Ian Garry knocked out would be a pretty cool way to kick off the main card

Overall excitement I would say about 6-7 which is decent. Looking forward to it, but not as much as i did for Jones-Gane, Izzy-Alex 2, Izzy-Strickland, Jiri-Alex, Islam-Volk 1 and 2 etc

Main card
Leon Edwards vs Colby Covington
Alexandre Pantoja vs Brandon Royval
Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Stephen Thompson
Tony Ferguson vs Paddy Pimblett
Vicente Luque vs Ian Machado Garry

Great card, looking forward to it.

Dreading the one month withdrawal after.

 

[Otto!]

Very decent card imo. This is a winnable fight for Ferguson but no guarantees either way.

Yeah I agree
Its kind of sad how Tony went from being the guy who was to beat Khabib, to a guy who might beat Paddy Pimblett

If he does manage to win I would hope that he would retire on a W, but this being Tony it would likely just encourage him to stick around for more brain damage,

Great card but I'm gonna be on a quick vacation to Colombia that saturday, will try to stay out of here and IG for 3 days to try and torrent the event when I come back.

I don't believe is winnable at all, Paddy's defense is shit but he is faster and hits harder than current Tony, also gonna be the bigger grappler with no bum knees not to mention Tony's killer instinct is gone.

Good points but this being MMA, we’ve all been burned multiple times by believing someone had no chance, only to see them pull the very unlikely upset. I just think that there are many harder fights than Paddy for Tony at this point.

Safe travels!

 

[Kryptt]

Looking forward to it.

 

[Cooliox]

Can't wait for Volk to step in to save the card on 9 days notice

 

[Credo]

7/10

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Its a good card, but im not excited about it.

 

[HoelHomero]

Good card (7/10) kinda held down by a bullshit main-event.
Shavkhat is must-watch anyway, for me.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

The ME is a farce.

I hope Colby, Garry, and Pimblett get brutally finished. Shit talking arrogant clowns.

It is a decent enough card for free, though. And the last ppv card before the Christmas break.

 

[El Fernas]

Pretty solid but neither the main or co-main are that exciting, solid fights all around, just not exciting exactly.

 

[Matt Brown's Elbow]

Eh, 7 out of 10.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

A strong 8 bordering 9 if we include the prelims as well (Giga/Emmett!!!)

[BFoe]

Decent card, but the main event is trash imo, and a real interest killer for me. I also don’t really think Tony vs Paddy should be on the main card, although I am interested in the fight itself. I’ll go like 6/10 for excitement level.

 

[Mangar]

2 out of 4 fights look interesting

Colby/Leon and Paddy/Tony looks good, the other 2 I don't care about at all.
