I woke up realizing that in 2022 Ferguson and Diaz in the same night is considered a “weak card”. We don’t get that many Diaz or Ferguson fights and we get 2 in one night. 

The featured fight between fan favorite superhero Kevin Holland versus DRod could and should be a fight night main event. 


We also get the return of one of the most talented Mexican contenders, Irene Aldana versus Chiasson. 

Also what a great and exciting fight to start the main card. Two of the most exciting and entertaining fighters, in and out of the cage, battle it out. 

That’s just the PPV because there are plenty of great prelim action anticipated. I read someone on here say most of the fights on this card will be tightly contested, and I agree. 

Yeah, we are spoiled acting like this is somehow a bad card.

D-Rod and Holland are unranked welterweights, I'm not sure when the last time an event, even a fight night, was headlined by two unranked fighters.

The reason people aren't PPV hyped about Tony Ferguson and Nate Diaz being on a card is precisely BECAUSE it's 2022. They aren't the same fighters and won't put up the same fights they have had a reputation for a decade ago.

This card is pretty ******* average. Decent enough Fight Night card tbh, but awful PPV.

I didn't read or Heard anybody saying what i'll say now. It's not a Big deal or anything, but it's a gut feeling and it makes that weird main évent better for me.

Nate in his interview with Okamoto Said basically '' pressure on khamzat, he's supposed to kill me''. There's that caricature Dan Hardy used, with Khamzat being the final boss on Nate's way out who's there to punish him for the Big corporate Boss pleasure. And i can't think of this fight other than a Rocky 1 type of thing. Nate's point may be just to survive and go to a decision. I dont feel like he has strong chances of winning. I won't bet on this fight. But rooting for Nate to just survive, whatever the scoring, feels quite in the spirit and more realistic than a win, that with à Noisy crowd and all, it could actually turn into a fun and unique fight and a relevant addition toi Nate's resume.

Hot take recently but I'm kind of losing my faith on Khamzat. After the altercation between him and Costa, for me, his stock went down. Costa kind of bullied him without even trying, especially when Khamzat was pretty much using "hold be back" and took a step back when Costa said "Come on let's fight'' and started approaching him. Khamzat even took a step back in the video... Like ***? Why are you saying ''let's fight'' and being confrontational but look so bad and emotional doing it... 

Khamzat should stay at 170. Costa will murder him if it ever happens.

I’m sure Khamzat backed off because he knew that if he got into any sort of physical confrontation with Costa it could’ve cost him his biggest payday to date. Lets just say he got injured from getting into a fight with Costa, it would’ve ruined the whole event and he most likely wouldn’t get another opportunity like this for a long time. Costa was just trying to rile him up to do something stupid and it didn’t work.

Why is Nate fighting Khamzat? Easy. They want Khamzat to win and get Nates hype. Simple.

Same with Li. They want the Chinese prospect to get Tony's fans. Simple business. Nothing more.

But that's why no one here can understand that. It involves thinking.

Funny how you start attacking someone right off the bat instead of bringing up good arguments to counter my opinion. You must have no braincells to even assume that's me in that picture...

@ImRealUgly

Good point! Now this is what a good, proper response looks like. 

I agree with you a 100% but Khamzat showed his weak side in that video. Although Khamzat is a huge problem for anyone at 170 and I really like him, this attitude and the way he fought last time will derail him.
