UFC 178 is stacked. You should buy it.
I know some of you don’t like the small guys and even you sizest motherfuckers should buy this card because not only is there a championship fight in the littlest weight class in the UFC, but there are a ton of other good fights. Sure, Demetrious “Megamind” Johnson is fighting in a squash match, but at least it’s a title fight. The rest of the card is great. Dominick Cruz is on the undercard. That’s the former champ who vacated the belt due to injury if you’re following along at home. Plus you’ve got Connor McGregor fighting rabid Saved by the Bell fan Dustin “Diamond” Poirier. McGregor is insanely popular and this is his first big test. I’m sure the UFC is hoping he wins because he has a unique ability to electrify his countrymen, who are known to enjoy fisticuffs. Another radical fight on the card is Donald Cerrone against Eddie Alvarez. I love Donald Cerrone because every interview he gives, he basically just says that he doesn’t give a fuck who he fights, he’s not watching any tape and he wants to fight as much as possible. This has led to his looking flat sometimes. This is his fourth fight this year, but he didn’t take a lot of damage in his earlier fights so hopefully he’s coming in prime condition. Eddie Alvarez is the former Bellator champ. He looked great in Bellator, but it’s really hard to tell how good a guy is when he’s fighting Roger Huerta level competition. Tim Kennedy is fighting Yoel Romero. Romero is a beast and it will be interesting to see whether his raw athleticism will carry the day over Kennedy’s experience. The PPV card is started by Cat Zingano who looked great in her last fight, but is coming back from a long layoff involving a knee injury and her husband’s suicide to fight Amanda Nunes. Zingano looked awful in the weigh in, but we’re hoping she rehydrates and bounces back so that she can get the title shot she deserves. More coverage to come tomorrow.
