    Loser: Midcard

    The middle portion of the 13-bout show failed to deliver nearly as much violence—or even sustained action, for that matter—than the four early preliminary fights beforehand or the five more that arrived after the pay-per-view went live at 10 p.m.

    In fact, a video board appearance of Jacksonville-bred football hero Tim Tebow drew the loudest positive reaction of the roughly two-hour stretch, which was more often dotted by boos and inactivity

      Who he might very well beat judging by that performance last night.

      That was a badass fight full of action and grit that I seriously doubt was matched by anything on the entire UFC card yesterday.
      Navarrete is not the #2 fw in the world lol. Nice try though.

        Look at the bolded part. Hes not even talking about the actual 5 fight PPV, hes talking about the second half of the prelims. And two of those 4 fights hes criticizing ended in the first round.

          That’s why you believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see

            Its so funny how you keep brushing aside the fact that all these 24/7 easily trackable numbers on multiple global sites like YT, IG, FB and Twitter consistently show the UFC generating far more interest than boxing. Like how the **** do you reconcile that with the narrative that boxing is bigger?

              It's a joke sport.
              You're a joke for watching it

                Reasonable?
                The Jake Paul boxing card will do bigger numbers than any mma card this year

                    1) Youtube star Jake Paul vs an MMA fighter.

                    2) Arent they claiming 1.3-1.5m buys? the Conor fight in January did 1.6m

                    3) Its about consistency.

                      He is the WBO champion.

                      Who would you rank above him at featherweight? Besides Gary Russell Jr.?
