Why do I have a feeling that the event is either going to be incredibly awesome or it will absolutely be boring? I definitely do not have any strong logic behind that but it's just a feeling. I hope UFC will be able to make sure that the best fight happens. Does anyone else think that the popularity of UFC has been going down? Maybe I am wrong. Maybe that is because we have been saying some fights that are pretty boring. Maybe that could be just a feeling. But is it only me or do anyone else also think that?
Well, honestly it already can be boring, since we know most part of the card. If we I close eyes on kitten matchups, then every fight from the card I want to watch. Probably Lopes vs Yusuff fight looks not so promising. But I clearly remember Diego Lopes flashed somewhere in media. Some people made fun of his hairstyle, some trolled for bad English and pronunciation. All other fights are great. Cant even imagine who are going to be prelims, as all look great for main card.
I am most interested in the Alexander volcanovski fight, the Pablo Costa fight. Other than that I am not very much interested in other fights to be honest. I am not saying that those fights are not going to be interesting. Those fights might be very close as well. But those fights definitely do not interest me as much. And it is just a personal opinion.
Volkanovski was knocked hard 3 months ago, it's surprising he was allowed to fight considering it was a head kick and several hits behind the head. He may not be what he was before that loss as he accepted the fight at short notice. He will be very defensive in this fight I think and it could be that Tuporia is the one handling this fight.
It's still a hard fight for Tuporia if Volkan is back to his own already as Volkan has a hard chin and a good striker as well. Volkan took care of Holloway who is a better striker than Tuporia. For Tuporia, his advantage will be taking down Volkan. How the fight will go depends on where they could first hurt each other.
Costa expected to fight Khamzat months ago, he could be preparing for it still until this 298. Whitaker has slowed down too. I think this is the boring fight that you may be expecting. But I expect Costa to be more explosive since he wanted to fight Khamzat and needed to impress Dana.
