301 also really sucks for a ppv. Weakest one I can remember from the past few years If Mighty Mouse couldn’t sell even 200k ppv as 125 lb main event then Pantoja definitely isn’t People don’t buy cards for guys that small. Even figgy Moreno which is the most watched 125 lb fights ever was a co main usually

[@furlough2327]

Coming off 300 and it being a lack luster card in general, this might go down as one of the most forgotten events in history. Aldo is the only reason there is remotely any interest.

[@bluethings2344]

I couldn't agree with you more. Everytime someone complains about a card, there will always be a few people calling you a casual. Maybe, just maybe the card is actually bad

[@rancidcrawfish]

The people that say "casual" are usually stupid kids and 40 year old fry cooks

[@alexisnaranjo]

There's nothing at real stake. No top 5 challenges. The champion is fighting a ranked 10 fighter. Aldo in last minute replacement for last fight against a younger guy. THIS is a fight night

The first one is that he was going to be something special with the people he has surrounding him along with his skill set. The second thing was that he is remarkably small. And the third was that he was numbingly stupid, to the point that I thought he was working a gimmick

didn’t even know there was an event this weekend. why is there no press conference?

[@TheCaliRhino]

I'm just here to let Uncle Chael know, I care! This is actually a really well put together card with many great fights on it. Petrino to murk Anthony Smith feels like an even better pick now that it goes against Chael lmao Periera, Petrino, Mullarkey, Martinez, Borahlo, Erceg, the Kyrgistan fighter who's name I won't butcher vs Elvis Brenner is also a great fight at LW. Those irst 5 names are on a parlay I put together, not picking the Brenner vs Orlobai (?) fight, just looking forward to watching it!

[@MandosCulture]

This card being tomorrow is crazy. This will beat Tyrons record😆

[@meridianheights6255]

I follow a small handful of small MMA channels. People were pointing out that 299 and 300 were SO stacked that we were gonna get a few duds (in comparison) around those two events. Pantoja and Aldo on the same card is pretty awesome, but I think the community is still recovering from the adrenaline dump of UFC first quarter 2024. It's kinda funny.

[@dannyovryn4120]

Uncle Chael invented a new word. “Afterneath” I like it a lot.

[@Rich.Fishing]

NO, they put it all on 300. 301 should've been a Fight Night. 301 would've been way more interesting if Pantoja vs Moreno 2 was the main

[@tchambers807]

They literally used all the biggest Brazilian fighters for 300 except for Pantoja. Caio Borralho vs Paul Craig will be a fun fight. Jailton Almeida could've been a good one but unless he's fighting Aspinal, who cares at the moment. There are some fun local guys they will be able to highlight in a big way though

Tired of all these women and tiny guys headlining before and after 300. Let’s get back to normal please

[@gato313]

Let’s be real here, Pantoja is ONLY the main event because they couldn’t get anything for the main at 300 and had to do Alex in that spot. Nobody cares about Pantoja and he isn’t doing anything to make anyone care. Also, nobody cares about flyweight and it doesn’t help that Pantoja laid on Moreno to get the belt and hasn’t done anything entertaining since 🤦‍♂️

[@jcostl]
