    Sport to watch!

    So many good fights on this card. Despite that, most of my picks are the favourites.

    The only non favourite I've gone for (ignoring the early pre-lims) is Cruz over Cejudo.

    It'll be a massive surprise if the main event is a dud.
    Ferguson is a freak. I think he'll enjoy the chaos of a Gaethje fight and he'll get a stoppage in the 3rd. Probably an elbow..

    If Cruz is 100% healthy then it could be a contest. Otherwise a beating.

    Main Event won't get out of Round 1.

    Can't wait.

      ..and has no ring rust. But of course Cruz claims there is no such thing

      I’m still sceptical of Cejudo at 135 despite the Moraes win.

        It’s going to be especially hard to watch a day of sport on Mother’s Day but I like a challenge....

              Ngannou shows off his scary power.

              The ufc really want him to be champ. I hope they don’t strip Miocic.. they need a rematch

                I was picking Cruz to win with a knee, not Cejudo...

                The stoppage wasn’t as bad as Cruz is claiming

                    Amazing fight. Gaethje has improved so much and Ferguson has an inhuman chin. I'm happy that Herb stopped it when he did

                    We'll probably never see Khabib v Tony now :disappointed_face:

                      Well that was worth waiting for.

                      Masterclass from Gaethje.

                      Thank you Uncle Dana.

                          Had some long over due yard work to do so just watching the replay of the prelims now and the the main card. Not bad so far.

                            UFC Fight Night 172

                            Excellent Prelim Card

                            Some good bouts on the Main Card

                            The UFC fighters who've fought in the past 8 days haven't spent Lockdown eating and watching Netflix.

                            Very impressed.

                            Will be interesting to see if other sportsmen return to work as prepared.

                              Thought Barboza won and easily. Also thought Angela Hill won. Not quite robberies but I was scratching my head.

                              Overall card was great.

                                  I'm surprised about the lack of fights announced for the May 30th fight night or UFC 250. White was promising more announcements a couple of days ago

                                  I wonder if they cancel the fight night and put them all on the PPV?

                                    Woodley Vs Burns is the fight no one asked for and no one wanted to see. Woodley vs Covington or Woodley vs Usman 2 or Covington vs Usman 2 or Woodley vs Street Jesus or Street Jesus vs Covington...all on a ppv at a later date would be preferable to this

                                        @MiketheSnow I enjoyed Burns effort but not Woodley. He’s looking so one dimensional now.

                                        Rest of the card good. I think I preferred the larger stadium than the UFC gym though.

                                          The echo made strikes sound brutal in the empty arena's

                                          The could improve a few things about the apex events

                                          • The audio mix could change. More fight noise, less coaches yelling
                                          • I prefer the full size octagon. I know they won't change that though.
                                          • Buffer makes a difference. Martinez asking a non existent crowd to make some noise is shit
                                          • I hate the interview setup. I get that Nevada has not allowed the octagon interviews. Instead of headphones and a split screen why not have a large table with the fighter standing on one side and DC/Rogan on the other?
