That means Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage will be higher in the bout order than two former champions who’re fighting each other.

Banger!

This makes my happy.

The WMMA fight no one cares about should be opening the early prelims.

IIRC there even are four of them

 

[Yep]

The UFC higher ups succeed despite their poor judgement. It’s annoying.

 

[Tweak896]

It's kind of cool to start strong, but was hoping for a wmma fight so I could start later.

 

[sdpdude9]

I’d put Nickal/Brundage, Andrade/Rodriguez, Lopes/Yusuff, and Miller/Green below. I guess the idea is to start off strong but I prefer cards to feel like they’re building. Whoever does the order nowadays makes odd decisions every card.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Don’t like, they deserve a better slot

 

[Danespina]

Holy crap that would probably make it the best opening fight in UFC history. At least since I’ve been watching.

True

Like the fights after Gaethje vs Chandler(which opened the main card in MSG) felt underwhelming because it was the high of the evening

Even though the fight right after was one of the best of the year iirc

And on top of my head, I can't even remember which one it was

Shane Burgos vs. Billy Quarantillo. It was fight of the night any other night and the crowd was absolutely dead.

Yea, but it's not really correct placement. It's better than like 4 other fights

Was a smart decision as they knew anything immediatedly after would feel underwhelming. With regular card ordering that would have meant the title fights.

Shane Burgos vs. Billy Quarantillo. It was fight of the night any other night and the crowd was absolutely dead.

Exactly. That validates UFC’s decision IMO.

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

Garbrandt’s Last Stand. He’s gonna go out swinging.

 

[Danespina]

It’s not but I’ll manage. Lots of good stuff that night.

Imagine if Bo lost

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Going in with an open mind. Entertain me.

It’s actually smart, start off with a fight people will be interested in so they tune in earlier rather than skip a couple fights
