    Put Conor vs Ferguson on the same card as Bisping vs GSP and watch the money pile up

    Also I haven't been watching UFC as long as most of you, but the times I've seen someone step in last minute and agree to a fight, don't they basically always lose and it's often a pretty one sided fight?

    Obviously not fair cuz they didn't have a camp or time to prepare, but seems whatever guy steps in as a replacement here, due to the circumstances it likely won't be the best fight anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that mostly how it goes in these spots?

    you're right, anderson silva was at max 197 against cormier, and cormier was 220-230lbs and got wrestled f----- like no tmr, however nate managed to do well against conor in their first fight regardless of the 1 week notice. Depends on the fighter imo

    Michael Johnson apparently said he'd step in but was declined by Tony. This sucks, I was more hyped for Tony Khabib than I was Woodley Thompson 2 lol.

    Most of the time, yes. But sometimes a Charlie Brenneman case happens (even though he was awful afterwards)

    Brenneman was still supposed to be competing on the same card, before his opponent got hurt like a day out. Him and Story were on an even playing field.

    There are a lot of examples that are escaping my mind but the one that always sticks out is Chris Leben. He TKO'd Aaron Simpson and then 2 weeks later replaced Wanderlei against Akiyama and won again.

    Trying to decide if I should still order it or not, card probably isn't really worth it but sort of in the mood to order it anyways..If not I'll just stream it so I'll watch either way...I dunno, see how I feel I guess.
