There is not much personality on this card which will make it hard to promote but there are some good matchups here i look forward to Souza vs Gastulem but i have no idea who will win.

Yeah nothing really jumps out at me, I can see some fights being good tho. Souza Gastulem is probably the one I'm looking forward to the most, It'll probably be fight of the night if it doesn't finish early, which I think it might.

What a card -- Can't wait to watch !

It's going to be pretty good I guess, honestly I think last weeks fight night was probably more exciting lol.

I find it odd that Machida vs. Belfort are so low on the PPV card. A few short years ago that fight could of headlined a PPV and drawn in big PPV numbers. MMA is a tough sport ...

Yeah for sure man, they're both so old now, the quality of the fight is way less.

Not the best card on paper, Jacare Vs Gastulem should be a decent fight. My initial thoughts are mostly in line with yours. I will be surprised if Dern doesn't win by submission though, all 3 of Coopers losses were by submission, seems like they are trying to build up Dern to be the next big female star.

I will have to go over a lot of the fighters recent fights though to refresh my memory.

Yeah man it's a weak enough PPV, Dern is deffo getting a push, I think it might be a little early tho.

I wasn't familiar with some of the fighters on the undercard, I had to watch clips too, as I said in one of the other comments, this post took waaaay to long to make haha.

Yeah that is why I now just do the main cards. In my earlier posts I tried to cover all the prelims too and then by the time I got to the main event I was drained and realised half my day was gone.

Yeah haha, it takes painfully long, you can get away with just doing the main cards cause you do top notch football content too, and your posts look sick. I'm aiming to be the leading MMA blog on Steemit, so I wanna be as informative as humanly possible.

Nunes for sure got this ! Should be interesting.

Yeah I think so too man, I honestly think it'll be a walk in the park for her.

Absolutely. And I don’t think it’s going to be a long fight at all, unless she starts off taking it easy on her.

She might come out a bit cautious after the long lay off, I can see here settling in very easily in round 2 or 3.

.

hahah I think he would if it wasn't Machida.

.

Hahaha excellent comment. They're both Brazillian, but I see Machida taking it.

I give you a pick... the lowest PPV rates in a looong time.
Weak card!
Should be downgraded to a Fight Night...
Everybody wanted Cyborg vs. Nunes!

Yeah man it's aggressivly average, although the PPV after is absolutely insane, so at least theres that. haha

I like "aggressivly average" :) Which PPV are you talking about? Please explain to a brother over here in Berlin Germany...

Ich spreche von UFC 225 in Chicago, es ist absolut verrückt, du solltest die Karte auschecken, so viele gute Kämpfe http://www.ufc.com/event/UFC-225.

Ich war auch viele Male in Berlin, einer meiner Lieblingsorte auf der Welt;)

Du sprichst deutsch? I thought you're from Ireland? :)
Ja Atze, Berliiiin! ;)

Haha ich spreche ein bisschen, ich brauche Hilfe von Google für die Rechtschreibung tho. Ja ich bin aus Irland, deshalb liebe ich Berlin so sehr, es ist sehr günstig für mich zu besuchen, nur vielleicht 2 Stunden Flug.

Let me take a guess... Ryan Air :)
Aber alles gut- ich bin halb deutsch, halb italienisch.
You speak italian,too?
Nice to meet you here.
Hey, did u ever see an UFC event live anywhere... Berlin, Ireland,Las Vegas..?
I wanna go Vegas,Man!
Greetings
Luca

Haha kein Italiener Ich fürchte Mann, ich würde es gerne eines Tages lernen. Natürlich war es Ryan Air lol. Ich war in einer UFC-Show, ja, niemals in Amerika. Ich möchte definitiv eine Vegas- oder Newyork-Karte machen.

You know, I am rarely excited for some of these cards until I see your breakdown and start looking at your picks.

I am going to dig into the links and info and see if I can make some educated ones as I don't know many of these guys too well.

Awesome post again!
