Five Reasons UFC 205 Is The Biggest Card Ever

We are now just days away from the landmark UFC 205 event, as the card is set for this Saturday night (Nov. 12, 2016) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. The UFC has stacked the deck from top to bottom with this card, and it’s

The UFC has stacked the deck from top to bottom with this card, and it’s safe to say that it will be a special night for sure. In fact, it has been billed as the biggest card in promotional history.

Let’s take a look at five reasons why it just might be:

UFC New York

The UFC’s New York City Debut

To start things off, UFC 205 will mark the UFC’s inaugural show at Madison Square Garden, an arena that the promotion has attempted to hold an event at for years. With the sport finally being legalized in the Empire State last year, the UFC will finally get to take the sport of mixed martial arts to the one of the most infamous arenas in the history of combat sports, and because of that, the card has an added pop to it.

The UFC has promised fight fans for years that once it was able to enter New York, a blockbuster show would soon follow, and it looks as if the promotion has owned up to it’s promise with one of the greatest cards of all-time.

Five Reasons Conor McGregor Will Destroy Eddie Alvarez

UFC 205 is slated to take place on Nov. 12 from the famed Madison Square Garden in New York. The event will mark the promotion’s first trip to the Empire State since the sport was legalized there last year, and the card is stacked to say the least. The main event will feature a highly

The main event will feature a highly anticipated lightweight title fight between reigning 155-pound champion Eddie Alvarez and featherweight kingpin Conor McGregor. McGregor will look to make history, as he hopes to become the first man in promotional history to hold two titles at one time.

While his loyal fan base undoubtedly has his back, many feel as if McGregor is in over his head against the battle tested lightweight champion.

With that being said, it’s interesting to flip the script and take a look at five reasons why the “Notorious” one may very well destroy the lightweight boss.

McGregor’s Power

This is the most clear path to victory for McGregor, in my opinion.
The Irishman has proven to be an elite level striker and his power has led him to great successes within the sport, as 17 of his 20 career victories have come by way of knockout. In addition to that, six of his seven UFC featherweight victories have come by way of T/KO.

It is important to note that Alvarez will be the bigger man in this fight, but McGregor has competed at 155-pounds before and has seen success in doing so. Also, McGregor proved that not only he can get his hands on bigger men, but that he can drop them as well in his rematch with Nate Diaz last August. Diaz, a bigger, stronger natural lightweight, was dropped multiple times by the “Notorious” one early on in that bout.

If McGregor can indeed hit Alvarez, “The Underground King” may find himself in trouble, especially given our next reason…

Five Key Takeaways From UFC Fight Night 98

UFC Fight Night 98 went down last night (Nov. 5, 2016) from Mexico City live on FOX Sports 1 and the card provided fans with a night of exciting fights. The main event featured a crucial lightweight fight between former champion Rafael dos Anjos and surging contender Tony Ferguson, while the co-main event saw veteran

UFC Fight Night 98 went down last night (Nov. 5, 2016) from Mexico City live on FOX Sports 1 and the card provided fans with a night of exciting fights.

The main event featured a crucial lightweight fight between former champion Rafael dos Anjos and surging contender Tony Ferguson, while the co-main event saw veteran Diego Sanchez take on ex-Bellator fighter Marcin Held, who was making his Octagon debut.

Aside from exciting fights, the card also provided us with some key takeaways. Let’s take a look at the top five:

1) Tony Ferguson Is A Legitimate Title Threat

The 155-pound strap is set to be defended next weekend (Nov. 12, 2016) when champion Eddie Alvarez takes on featherweight king Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 205. Also on that card, No. 1-ranked Khabib Nurmagomedov will meet Michael Johsnon, and many expect “The Eagle” to receive the next title shot if he comes out victorious.

While Nurmagomedov is undoubtedly deserving of a title shot, we learned last night that No. 3-ranked Tony “El Cucuy” Ferguson is a legitimate title threat. He has proven to be an unorthodox, well-rounded fighter, and he has put together an incredible nine-fight win streak, which was capped off by a unanimous decision victory over a former champion in Rafael dos Anjos last night.

With that being said, the UFC should seriously consider giving Ferguson the next shot at gold, as it’s clearly been earned.

Six UFC Titles That Could Change Hands Before The Year Ends

Anything can happen in a mixed martial arts fight and especially in a title fight, as we’ve seen multiple UFC titles change hands over the last year. With less than two months remaining in the calendar year, the UFC is set to put on a slew of not only exciting, but competitive title fights, as

Let’s take a look at six UFC titles that could potentially change hands before the year’s end:

Women’s Bantamweight

Newly crowned UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes is gearing up to defend her title for the very first time when she takes on former longtime champion Ronda Rousey, a female many consider to be the best 135-pound female fighter of all-time, in the main event of Dec. 30’s UFC 207.

By the time she enters the cage, The “Rowdy” one will have spent 13 months on the sidelines, as she hasn’t competed since being brutally knocked out by Holly Holm last November. Rousey was picked apart by Holm’s superior striking and she didn’t deal with the loss well, ultimately staying out of the limelight for the majority year. With that being said, it’s difficult to tell what form of Rousey will show up and what improvements she may have made.

Nunes is no slouch and she has proven to be a vicious well-rounded fighter, but if Rousey shows up in vintage form, we could see the 135-pound title change hands.

Six Ways UFC Fighter Treatment Needs To Change

The UFC is obviously quite a lucrative company. Earlier this year, the promotion, which is the world’s largest mixed martial arts promotion, sold for a record-setting $4.2 billion. The UFC was also recently ranked by Forbes as one of the top ten most valuable brands in sports. Based on these statistics, it’s clear that the

Based on these statistics, it’s clear that the UFC brass is living lavish, but can be the same be said for those who make the company this successful: the fighters? In today’s day and age, fighter treatment seems to be an increasingly hot topic, and with complaints coming from big name fighters like Jose Aldo, Anderson Silva and Donald Cerrone, it’s clear that change is needed.

Let’s take a look at six specific ways that fighter treatment needs to change within the UFC:

Eight Fights For Georges St. Pierre To Take Outside Of UFC

Despite the rumors that he could potentially be making his long awaited return at December 10’s UFC 206 from his home of Canada, legendary former welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre announced on yesterday’s (October 17, 2016) edition of The MMA Hour that his lawyer had terminated his contract with the UFC and that he was

Despite the rumors that he could potentially be making his long awaited return at December 10’s UFC 206 from his home of Canada, legendary former welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre announced on yesterday’s (October 17, 2016) edition of The MMA Hour that his lawyer had terminated his contract with the UFC and that he was now a free agent.

St. Pierre admitted that negotiations had stalled and that he had become tired of the drawn out process after once again finding his fire to compete. However, he didn’t say that he wasn’t going to once again fight, but he did say that he wasn’t sure what this free agency period would hold for him.

While it’s incredibly difficult to see “Rush” fighting outside of the world famous Octagon, that could indeed be a possibility once we are made aware of just how “free” St. Pierre is from his contract.

With that being said, we have compiled a list of seven fights that GSP could take if he indeed ends up leaving the world’s largest MMA promotion.
