UFC 303 needs some work

[CatchtheseHands]

They could, sure, I just don't see them doing a 6 fight main card in the UK given it's taking place in the early hours of the morning for the local crowd.

True. But the UFC still may want to keep that match up open ahead of 304 just in case something goes wrong and they need a back up to fill the main card. So we still could get the fight on the card that way.

No it doesn't. It will sell more than 300

If Colby got to fight Conor at 170, and McNugget knocks Colby out, will everyone instantly love Conor again?

That could swing him back to babyface

 

[blaseblase]

Its Conor, they don't need to stack his cards. Easy million buys regardless. His last two PPVs were fairly weak as well.

They're probably going to put MVP and Garry on the manchester card. They would be stupid not to.

While the fans in attendance for Manchester would no doubt be more hyped to see Gary vs MVP live than the fans attending 303, this would be a massive showcase to expose both guys to a much wider casual fanbase. They're hoping that both of these guys become stars so I could see them putting the fight on 303.

Besides the WMMA, it’s not that bad

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

UFC 303 is Conor’s return and many are excited to see him, but is this the weakest PPV he’s ever headlined?

Check the updated UFC 303 lineup below.

• Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler
• Jamahal Hill vs. Khalil Rountree Jr.
• Mayra Bueno Silva vs. Macy Chiasson
• Cub Swanson vs. Andre Fili
• Andrei Arlovski vs. Martin Buday
• Ricky Simon vs. Vinicius Oliveira
• Joe Pyfer vs. Marc-Andre Barriault
• Payton Talbott vs. Yanis Ghemmouri
• Michelle Waterson-Gomez vs. Gillian Robertson
• Rei Tsuruya vs. Carlos Hernandez
• Charles Jourdain vs. Jean Silva

Even the main event is not really a must watch fight. Conor sells but usually when he has an opponent that adds to the intrigue.
Anyone else thinking this PPV doesn’t break a million buys?

 

[Joshua Judd]

I don’t think this is the first Conor card that’s a little lackluster, they definitely expect him to carry these, which I’m sure he will.

 

[Boomb]

Arlovski still fights?

 

[Leonard Haid]

Dana White said that the UFC 303 gate already has broken the gate record at "way over $20 million", so he's a happy camper.

Aside from the to-be-expected lame WMMA fights, and another fucking Andrei Arlovski fight, it's a great card.

Thought they were still adding 2 or 3 main card fights? If that's the card then that sucks. However the big card is the Sphere card 306 maybe they are just sacrificing a big July card to assure that one.

Still I expect a legit Co main to be added

 

[Neck&Neck]

Conor won’t be headlining

And WARlovski
F The Haterz

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Arlovski still fights?

Young prospect, still evolving.

WARlovski.

 

[JoeRowe]

Think it's gonna be Garry vs MVP not Brady or any of those other options.

MVP said on Sky Sports that he's not heavy like Garry was claiming and it's an easy cut to be ready for June. He's verbally accepted the fight and is waiting for a contract

I hope you're right, that's a great matchup

 

[JoeRowe]

The UFC knows Conor will sell big numbers reagrdless of what's in the undercard. We all know were gonna watch no matter what

So why would they put any other big names on this when they can use them to try and sell other cards.

Plus they need to keep costs low on this card because how much they are going to be paying Conor McGregor

Idk, ask the ufc why they were trying to do Colby/Garry for this card if they aren't using big names.

 

[LoneLynx]

Conor probably requested no other big name on the card to steal the show

 

[Shaolin Alan]

It's a Fight Night card, with PPV label Power Slapped on it

 

[VonSupervillain]

Still somehow better than 301.

 

[kingmob6]

worse than this one? http://ufcstats.com/event-details/0c1773639c795466
no

 

[wufabufa]

Conor is getting his usual wage while they fill the rest of the card with a bunch of unranked fighters that get paid peanuts in comparison. Gotta cut costs somehow.
