MMA Review: #720: UF...

posted by Newman

-After getting UFC 249 cleared to take place in Jacksonville, Florida, the promotion wasted no time in booking another two shows there in the same week, with this one taking place on the Wednesday. It wasn’t the best card on paper but shit, deep into the Covid-19 lockdown I don’t think...

MMA Review: #719: UF...

posted by Newman

-Okay, where to start with this one? After March 14th’s Fight Night 170 took place behind closed doors, the next 3 events were quickly cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That left April 18th’s UFC 249, which Dana White seemed determined to go ahead with. The show was initially planned...

-So, this was the point when the shit really started to hit the fan with Covid-19, as by this stage the whole thing had been declared a pandemic and we were literally about a week away from the whole world being shut down. That meant that this show was the first in UFC history to take place...

MMA Review: #717: UF...

posted by Newman

-And so we’ve reached the end of “normal”, whatever that is these days, as this was the final show to have actual fans attending before Covid-19 hit and everything had to change. It’s honestly hard to believe that it was just four months ago really – it barely feels like the same...

MMA Review: #716: UF...

posted by Newman

-The UFC’s first show in Virginia for some time, this one was a bit of a weird card, featuring a fight for the newly vacant UFC Flyweight title in the main event and a couple of fights showcasing the thinnest division in the promotion – Women’s Featherweight. UFC Fight Night...

-This was the first UFC show in New Zealand since 2017, with a classic sounding main event in the form of Dan Hooker vs. Paul Felder. Rest of the card wasn’t up to much but what can you do? UFC Fight Night 168 02/22/20 Auckland, New Zealand -Your hosts are John Gooden and Dan...

-This was the UFC’s first trip back to New Mexico for years – since 2014 to be exact – and it was main evented by a potential top contender’s fight in the 205lbs division….as well as the return of the legend that is DIEGO SANCHEZ. UFC Fight Night 167 02/15/20 Rio Rancho, New...

posted by Newman

-I was super excited for this one because in my opinion at least, Dominick Reyes was the trickiest challenger for Jon Jones since the first time he fought Daniel Cormier back in 2015, and the card looked pretty solid underneath too. UFC 247: Jones vs. Reyes 02/08/20 Houston, Texas -Your hosts...

-After the McGregor-fuelled UFC 246 got so much publicity a week before, this show was flying way under the radar, but I was still excited due to the awesome-sounding main event between Curtis Blaydes and Junior Dos Santos. UFC Fight Night 166 01/25/20 Raleigh, North Carolina -Your hosts are...

MMA Review: #711: UF...

-Talk about starting the year off with a bang – this was Conor McGregor’s big return after over a year away following his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, and the UFC finally matched him with Donald Cerrone in a fight that basically EVERYONE wanted to see. And given what’s happened in 2020...

-The last UFC PPV of 2019 was a BIG ONE, with three title fights including the massive grudge match between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington for the UFC Welterweight title. On paper at least this looked like it could be the best show of the year. UFC 245: Usman vs. Covington 12/14/19 Las...

-On paper this one didn’t look too great at all, with a bunch of exciting fighters (Francisco Trinaldo, James Krause, Warlley Alves, Douglas Silva de Andrade, Ricardo Ramos) left on the prelims and a couple of really baffling fights put on the main card instead. As it was also the 12th UFC...

-After a pretty weak main event in their last visit to Madison Square Garden, the UFC decided to gimmick the hell out of the top fight on this card, creating the first-ever ‘BMF’ title for the winner of the Jorge Masvidal/Nate Diaz clash. Personally I’d have said anyone stepping into the...
