Dominick Cruz is fighting? On the prelims? A) I thought he was retired. B) I thought he was still a big star as a former champ commentator.
Damn, my casual status is officially confirmed. |

Quoted: JDS I can understand. Ranked #12 and had 4 losses in a row. Overeem I disagree with the cut. Ranked #7 and prior to his last loss to Volkov, had 2 wins in a row by tko. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted:
JDS I can understand. Ranked #12 and had 4 losses in a row. Overeem I disagree with the cut. Ranked #7 and prior to his last loss to Volkov, had 2 wins in a row by tko. His chin was never great and he seems to be in real danger of getting permanently damaged if he keeps fighting. He was fantastic in his prime and I appreciate the ass kicking he gave Lesnar, but it's most likely time for him to retire. |

Quoted: She's decent. Think her excessive tats take away from her beauty though. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C33G2fUVMAAcK0w.jpg View Quote I'll give her a pass on the tats. Her IG is pretty good. Attached File |

View Quote For the last few years Reem has been fighting like his career will be over if somebody so much as touches him....because it's basically true. If it was anybody less technically skilled than him, they would have washed out earlier. |

View Quote He was hurt, again, for the time between Cody and Cejudo. Since Cejudo last year, I don't know why he hasn't fought. I haven't noticed him commentating on many cards either. Maybe he was just a little wore out on it? Him being on the prelims was news a little bit ago, I forget if they said why he is, but I remember he basically said "IDGAF" about it. |

He claims the last prelim slot gives him the most exposure to fans, to get his name back out there since he had a long layoff. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2021/02/dominick-cruz-couldnt-care-less-about-ufc-259-prelims-placement-im-not-really-attached-to-my-ego/amp |

The last prelim slot is often used as a sort of prelim main event, with the idea that it is the last impression of the free fights and is most likely to sell the PPV to the casual fan who may be on the fence about buying it. |

I believe it. It's true. It's not behind the PPV paywall, plus the prelims are on big ESPN. so it'll have lots of viewers. |

Nice start to the fights, 2 finishes. Hope it keeps going.
Edit, and another finish. 3 so far. |
|
Have the early prelims ever been on broadcast tv? I seem to only recall them on fight pass or espn+.

Quoted: Have the early prelims ever been on broadcast tv? I seem to only recall them on fight pass or espn+. View Quote Yeah a few times. If it’s a really stacked card and they’re wanting more exposure for PPV buys, they’ll put the early prelims on ESPN2/ESPN News, etc. In the past, they’d be on Fox Sports 2 or similar. |
|
Prelims stay on ESPN2 until college basketball game is over, then switches to ESPN.

Good fights so far.
did anyone catch what Elliot said to dude when they were on the ground? Something about beating his old lady |
|
|
Debating buying this fight. Never bought a streamed fight and will go apeshit if it buffers.
|
|
Hope the chicom loses
Edit: first time I have ever pulled for a Kyler. |
|
Serious question, how is the streaming quality with ESPN backed payper-views?
I have att gigabit fiber connection. |

Quoted: Yup. Pissed that ESPN bleeped it. Something along the lines of "oh you beat women now?"

This next one between Islam and Dober looks like it will be good.

Dirtiest thing you will ever see in this sport.
Fuck Yan. That was bad. |
|
Completely unnecessary by Yan. Seemed like he was going to win...
|
|
If I’m Aljo, Cory is my next fight. Period.
After that, if I won, let’s go TJ. Fuck Yan. |
|
Yan should have been stripped of his belt but they shouldn’t have given it to Sterling. Dude was gassed.
|
|
This would be a great opportunity for a bantam weight tourney..
