On paper it looks like a can't miss. In practice so many of the stacked cards don't deliver. Last weekend being a huge exception.
is a prety much guaranteed bangerhas a lot of potential to be a bangerI'm not real excited for, but I hope I'm surprisedI'm worried about Ferguson.Should be fun, those guys are usually fun to watchNot expecting much, but there is a lot of potential firepower there. I'm worried that it'll be too much cat and mouse for my likingHeavyweights are so unpredictable. I'm expecting a slog. Or a KO. I don't see anything in between, which isn't going out on a limb as far as predictions go.The rest of the card I don't know. I hope that I catch them and not turn to something else as I wait because of UFC's shit pacing, and forget to turn back until the fights are over.
Yeah it's like a rule that you shouldn't get too excited for these extra stacked cards, but I can't help getting a bit riled up as it gets closer. The main and co are of course what I'm most excited about but as you laid out, there's hope all over the card.
I'm just banking on at least one or two being memorable
The only think I don't like in this card is the location. Last time UFC were in Salt Lake, the fights had weird paces, with the fighters gassing out early in the fight.
