Just about every ppv needs a title headliner. Conor being the obv exception. Its a big reaason they do these unwarranted interim belts. But this one i dont see the need. I believe they already had jan/glover on this card and moved them back 1 month for this

No the 265 card had Nunes VS Pena, the bout you are talking about I think isn't scheduled till late fall now IIRC. But despite not having a strong main event to sell this card, this is where you book a strong undercard to help sell it.

Nate Diaz would have been a good inclusion on this card instead of being the 3rd fight on a PPV card that already had 2 title fights. Or maybe they should have gotten a Nick Diaz return fight booked already since he wants to fight again.

Thanks for the correction. Yes they moved jan/glover from sept ppv to oct ppv

So there isn't any avenue to buy UFC 264 without having ESPN plus now is there? I would usually buy it off the PlayStation store but doesn't look like that's an option anymore.

PPVs have been exclusively on ESPN+ for a while now. What's your deal, pal?

I'm not giving ESPN any money lol. Guess good old streaming it is

haven't spent a dime on a ufc ppv in years.

lmao

Jake Paul is obviously an elite level douche, but is he making some good points here?

Mighty Mouse still got it!

those dudes gotta be uner 5', right? i don't think they qualify as midgets, but they're trying.

I'm excited for the Wonderboy and Burns fight. Shame it isn't being talked about. I think it will be the fight of the night

I always thought it was absurd they let him fight at featherweight . He was way too big for those guys…yet still got his ass kicked by Mendez until he gassed

Yep. Only time he was good when he was a feather weight.

He's a good striker, maybe even great in his prime. But that's all he could do. He was bigger then the featherweights, so he didn't have to worry about his ground game. Once he moved up he got exposed though.
