PFL 3 July 5th DC WW's and MW's 1st round Full Card! Shields vs Cooper headliner

[TheBrownRanger]

Decent card,the headliner is garbage but so has the rest of the headliners so far.

Should be intriguing ......

Anyone want to guess the viewership ratings?

You guys think it stays 150k or goes down?

Shields is the biggest name they have. However, his fights with GSP and Hendo were a really long time ago. I guess those are the two fights he's known for.

I'm gonna say 200k, but I'm being optimistic.

Worldwide Forum should probably have a link to the PBP topic.

JBG Bless.

LOL Uncle Goof shamed Mario into not doing the stupid heart hand sign

When Palhares and Shields headlined the ratings hit a one year high.

Palhares is the key there. When shields faced Ryan ford and Davis they were all time low

they just pulled a woodley/wonderboy.

 

[SmokeBear]

poor guy got an interview then gets told he didnt win due to scoring error. sheesh

Not understanding why a guy who lost his last fight back in 2017 is headlining

Jake Shields is the most well known fighter on the card and he is headlining. Cooper is there because he is Jake's opponent and because of the storyline of him potentially avenging his father's loss to Shields in 2004.

Yeah I'll be optimistic and say it stays at around 150k but I wouldn't be slightly surprised if it dips.

A guy w/same last name as Khabib...

It's his cousin

It's his cousin

I suppose the cousin's not as good as Khabib?

Pavel's Fight Finder had some wins via finish.

Shields is done; that was brutal. The other fight was more flukey (both good fighters who deserved a better betting line in hindsight) but Shields was clearly outmatched physically.

Card was ok other then shields utter destruction.

Dude he fought fights like Joe taimanglo heavy ass hands and under rated grappler.

I'd be surprised if shields retires without at least 1 more but he looked pretty helpless in there.

I thought the card was great including Ray Cooper's performance. Full of action once again.
