I cannot believe the UFC put these 2 fights on a fight night while their ppv next week could use all these. It's hard to keep up with the UFC so I'd prefer they went the route of stacking cards than putting out a bunch if average cards.

First time in Paris, they needed it to be good.

When the Gane-Tua fight started the atmosphere was crazy. Seriously fantastic hearing the french crowd chanting/singing during the fight.

The co main wasn’t a great fight at all. It was rob dominating Marvin. Fun to watch because that’s what we all wanted but it was just an average predictable one sided fight.

I’m not complaining just kinda saying it really wasn’t much better than some of the fights y’all complain about.

French crowd was awesome and main was insane. Tai is ridiculously tough and Cyril is so skilled for a big guy 4 years in the game. Maybe the most talented fighter ever.

Lebron and Tatum are at the Ohio State game. I'll probably watch that over UFC.

279 is trash. They trying to punish Nate by putting out a **** product. Weird level of petty.

UFC fans are so spoiled. Boxing fans get put through the Ringer with only a select few boxers actually pushing the envelope like Canelo and Usyk. The rest only drop each others names to clout chase but never fight a live dog like Gervonta Davis and Jermall Charlo.

Not the biggest boxing fan due to many organizations and belts. But from what I've seen I like this Haney kid. Quick, good footwork and ring awareness.

Yeah hes technically sound but IMO hes soo boring to watch. Combat sports are also entertainment and his in ring style lately has been as exciting as watching the grass grow.

Totally get it. How do you feel about Loma? Probably/used to be my favorite of the lightweights.

On paper it doesn't look great but It can still be entertaining.

Loma is a sure fire HOF'er and on making a comeback after his Lopez loss hes been on a tear to the point where he appears to be avoided by the youngsters.

Yes but on paper is what sells so how it turns out is irrelevant

To people who just want to see high level MMA 279 looks like one of their worst PPVs but in terms of name value there is plenty. Khamzat vs Diaz might not be exciting but it's still two of the biggest draws they have right now. Then you've got Tony Ferguson and Kevin Holland on the main card as well. Even the Walker vs Cutelaba fight could get some eyes on it due to them both being certifiably insane and unorthodox. I really don't think it'll sell terribly.

LoL!

UFC: Let's punish Nate. Yes, yes! Make him the main event! That will show him.

I mean they only added Tony and holland because the stadium wasn’t selling. It’ll end up decent to watch but they didn’t put something together that’ll get buys

He’s got ppv points in his contract of course they made him the main event. Use your brain. They add title fights and card sells better and Nate makes more money.
