All right then, UFC 230 is this weekend, and there's nothing else from any major promotion. So, as usual, we need to see if this is a top-heavy card or if its reasonably stacked...

Friday

6:30pm - (Fightpass) - Glory 61

Kickboxing

Saturday

7pm TV - (5:15 pm Fightpass/7pm FS1/9pm PPV) - UFC 230, Cormier vs. Lewis

OK then, so the main event is obviously very interesting. Cormier is going to be the heavy favorite and have a lot more cardio, and he'll definitely win if it gets to the championship rounds because the black beast gasses out horribly, but.... can he get that early shocking knockout?!? Maybe! Thats why we watch this stupid sport.

Anyway, the rest of the main card is pretty good. Its not incredible, but it IS pretty good, of the other 4 fights, two of them are going to be very critical to the future of their weight classes.

Then you look at the prelims and you think...... eh. Yuck. Actually, the prelims are really bad, even for a card where you think the UFC is top-loading it, the undercard is not great at all. They usually give you at least one good fight, but I do not care about any of these prelims at all, not even the feature prelim.

So, the PPV is pretty good, but the prelims are crap. I'm an addicted fight fan so I'll watch all of this shit, but you should probably only think about watching the PPV and figure out something else to do with your free time before 9pm central.

edit: in case its not clear, the other "good" fights in the PPV are the first fight and the co-main. The other two fights before the co-main are just whatever.
