ka-to Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 The show will be rerun on regular ESPN starting at 1AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 This sure is just a card, especially after last weekend's show. Do they not have anything scheduled after Saturday's show? Dober/Hernandez should be a good scrap at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the show the Saturday after that (5/23) which is Woodley/Durinho, Derns/Cifers, and Ivanov/Augusto Sakai. UFC 250 (6/6) right now is Nunes/Spencer, Assuncao/Garbrandt, Formiga/Alex Perez, Menifield/Devin Clark, and Heinisch/GM3. I am not sure if they're going to add fights to the 5/23 show or they're going Friday Night Fights/HBO BAD/WCB for that format w/ a minimum number of fights.

Jiji Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Man this is last minute stuff they're pulling off. That May 23rd show isn't even officially announced and has four fights set. My guess is they add some bodies to it over the next few days. I know people have been training throughout this ordeal and I imagine most of them want to fight/make money, but it'd be good to train for a particular style of fight. I wonder if this leads to people being generally more cautious or aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been claimed (on social media) that the 5/23 show will be moved to 5/30, but I haven't seen any official confirmation of that, so it might just be speculation.

Tapology now has it on 5/30 too, so I'm going with that until further notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Re: Roberson/Vettori Remember when I said I imagine these guys wanna fight? Well, Marvin Vettori was suppose to fight on 3/21, has cut weight multiple times, and as you can definitely tell from these videos really wants to fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'm watching the playback of the first fight and the post fight interview is money Daniel Cormier: Describe how you're feeling right now Chase Sherman: You ever order a ten piece wing and get eleven? I cannot believe the UFC ever cut this man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Andrei is one of my favorite fighters. i will watch any card he's on. but at this point, please hang 'em up. he's looked thoroughly mediocre (and deteriorating) for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 He can't really get out of first gear anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Arlovski is still better than the vast majority of UFC heavyweights. If he still wants to go out there, he can compete with most of the division. Keep him out of the top 10, and he'll be able to do this for years to come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Man, this CGI de-aging thing Hollywood has going on is remarkable. Kurt Russell looked so young! Props to Dober. His hands are fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 One more stupid non-sports related comment: Anthony Smith's face looks like it's out of Virtual Pro Wrestling 2. Two pretenders that stand no chance against the top 3 in the division. There have been a few nice fights but yeah, this card has so far lived up to the lack of hype.
