Stephen Espinoza: Canelo vs Plant gate bigger than any gate ufc has ever done

Usman/Covington 2 - p4p no1 guy in the sport defending his title in a rematch of what to date has been his toughest fight. Lots of bad blood. Usman is closing in on perhaps surpassing GSP as the greatest 170lb'er ever.
Gaethje/Chandler - Two top 5 ranked guys in the strongest division, stylistically about as violent a match up as you could make.
Rose/Zhang 2 - Another title fight rematch, interesting because Rose came into the first fight earlier this year as the underdog and then won via a flash KO from a head kick in the first round. Now we find out if it was a fluke.
Edgar/Vera - Aging all time great still in the mix vs top 15 ranked opponent.
Those are the main PPV fights, there was actually supposed to be another pretty big fight on there that got cancelled due to injury. Its still stacked even now though.
Then the lead in fight to the PPV on the prelims is Alex Pereira making his debut. Hes one of the best kickboxers in the world and the champion of the division hes entering happens to be a guy hes beaten twice in kickboxing.Comment

Like I stated before, not really a fan of kicking and wrestling and guys who can't take a punch (even though I am entertained seeing guys like Khan get ruined) . I wouldn't be interested enough to see if the above mentioned names are really quality fighters. There's room enough for them all, though.

Its always gonna take some effort to get into any sport. To understand the technical nuances etc enough to appreciate it (the wrestling, kicking etc) and be invested in the names involved.

Each to their own though.Comment
