Just finished the main card and with the exception of Vetori it was predictably rubbish. Actually the Fili fight was alright too. Eye v Calvillo though...
Aye, it was a p*ss poor card. I haven't looked much at Blaydes v Volkov but if that's the main event I'm not hopeful at all.
I really like Vettori as a fighter though, I think he actually has given Adesanya his toughest fight yet. Hope he gets a ranked opponent next and makes a surge.
The co-main Emmett vs Burgos looks the best fight on that card IMO.
There perhaps does seem to be a more emphasis on quantity over quality at the moment in these regular Fight Nights, but I'm still happy they are putting stuff on, and it's been a hell of a lot better than boxing's return thus far. Top Rank's ESPN return last week was a damp squib, particularly the Tuesday card which was full of pointless 1/100 mismatches. The Fight Night card on August 1st does look a bit better as well.
This all said, can't wait for 251, and it's been confirmed it's on BT Sport 1. I feared they may try and sneak it on BT Box Office with the 3 world title fights, even if there isn't really a huge stand out draw on it.
