UFC 205: Eddie Alvarez vs. Conor McGregor

[Pat82]

McGregor is gek dat hij 3 maanden na die oorlog alweer hierin stapt.

[S.B.]

Ik zie Mcgregor wel winnen, van de top 5 lightweight is Alvarez de beste match up voor MCG.

[Bromios]

UFC is gek dat ze hem niet tegen Aldo laten knokken.

[Overhand Right]

iemand link naar de persconferentie zometeen?

[pronk]

Het gaat weer los hoor haha

[pronk]

Ok dus Michael Johnson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov toegevoegd , dit zou toch de ufc 200 card moeten zijn.

[Overhand Right]

Ik was bang dat de trashtalk zou gaan vervelen, maar wat heb ik weer genoten haha.
"Who the fuck is that guy?!"

Michael Johnson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov official for UFC 205 in New York

A loaded card just continues to get even more stacked.

UFC President Dana White today confirmed that top lightweight contenders Michael Johnson (17-10 MMA, 9-6 UFC) and Khabib Nurmagomedov (23-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) will also meet on the card.

White today revealed the fight is official during a pre-fight press conference in New York to promote the upcoming event. Earlier today, White appeared on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” and revealed the promotion was working on the contest. According to the UFC boss, it’s now set.

Nurmagomedov is currently ranked No. 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings, while Johnson checks in at No. 12.

Featuring a trio of title fights, UFC 205 takes place Nov. 12 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The evening’s main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

“The Menace” Johnson recently snapped a two-fight losing streak with an impressive first-round knockout of Dustin Poirier at UFC Fight Night 94. Prior to his skid, Johnson had downed four consecutive victories after downing Edson Barboza, Melvin Guillard, Gleison Tibau and Joe Lauzon.

Meanwhile, Nurmagomedov boasts an incredible career record but has been slowed by injuries in recent years, notching just one win – against late replacement Darrell Horcher – in the past 28 months. However, one more win would certainly secure his spot in a long-awaited title fight.

While the night’s official bout order has yet to be revealed, UFC 205 now includes:
Champ Eddie Alvarez vs. Champ Conor McGregor – for lightweight title
Champ Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson – for welterweight title
Champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz – for strawweight title
Yoel Romero vs. Chris Weidman
Donald Cerrone vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Michael Johnson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov
Raquel Pennington vs. Miesha Tate
Frankie Edgar vs. Jeremy Stephens
Rashad Evans vs. Tim Kennedy
Tim Boetsch vs. Rafael Natal
Thiago Alves vs. Jim Miller
Lyman Good vs. Belal Muhammad
Liz Carmouche vs. Katlyn Chookagian

[thijss]

Wat een kaart is dit geworden! Kan niet wachten..

[Minotauro]

Haha die Jeremy Stephens werd keihard geowned tijdens de persconferentie.

Viel me ook op dat Alvarez af en toe zelf begon, maar uiteindelijk niet mee kon en maar ongemakkelijk begon te lachen

[Lionheart]

Khabib legt Johnson 3 rondes op zn rug. Mismatch.

Persoonlijk de vetste card ever! :-)))

[Suplex]

Wat een zieke kaart is dit zeg ongelooflijk.
Hoop dat Conor naar LW gaat en blijft een hele hoop mooie partijen al had ik graag pettis vs McGregor gezien.
Dadelijk diaz vs McGregor 3 voor de LW titel word gewoon super dit en anders Khabib maar champ.
LW divisie word heel interessant nu veel titelkandidaten.

[e-type]

Ook lekker weinig blessures dit jaar, dat helpt wel in de opbouw van de spanning naar een event toe. Maar deze is wel errug vet hoor.

[my2cents]

Wordt dit nu ook eerder uitgezonden denken jullie, aangezien er in NY wordt gevochten?

[Minotauro]

Ja denk het wel. 6 u tijdsverschil met Amsterdam, LV 9 of zo toch? Maincard zal dan wel tussen 1 en 4 zijn ipv 4 en 7

[e-type]

Wordt dit nu ook eerder uitgezonden denken jullie, aangezien er in NY wordt gevochten?

Zelfde tijdsverschil als Cleveland, dus 'k verwacht dezelfde starttijd, die werd om 22:00uur plaatselijke tijd afgewerkt, 04:00 hier.

UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden features Gotham-sized six-fight main card


To say the UFC is pulling out all the stops for its first trip to Madison Square Garden in New York City is an understatement.

Everyone seemed to sense UFC 205 was going to be a big deal – a Gotham-sized pay-per-view worthy of “The City That Never Sleeps.” As the weeks went on and there was no official news about bookings, everyone wondered just what might be in store and when we’d find out.

And when the news hit, it was worth the wait. UFC 205, which takes place Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden with a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, will feature not one title fight … not two title fights … but three. Three championship bouts at the top of the bill

And leading them all is a fight between a pair of champs, giving featherweight champ Conor McGregor (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) the chance to become the first simultaneous two-division titleholder in UFC history when he tries to upend lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez (28-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC).

But there are two other fights worth of main event status right below that. Welterweight champ Tyron Woodley (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) defends his belt for the first time when he meets Stephen Thompson (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC), and women’s strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) takes on Polish countrywoman Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC).

The crazy thing, though, is that the UFC probably could’ve had three title fights on the main card and called it a day – and could have justified it. But that wasn’t big enough for the “Big Apple.” And that meant the promotion eschewed its tradition of having five fights on the main card of pay-per-views and went one stronger – with six.

The promotion confirmed on Saturday UFC 205 will feature a six-fight main card with Yoel Romero (12-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) vs. former champ Chris Weidman (13-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) in a key middleweight bout, Donald Cerrone (31-7 MMA, 18-4 UFC) vs. Kelvin Gastelum (12-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) at welterweight, and Raquel Pennington (8-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) vs. former champ Miesha Tate (18-6 MMA, 5-3 UFC) in a women’s bantamweight bout to open the pay-per-view portion.

This won’t be the first time the UFC has gone heavy on a pay-per-view’s main card, though. For UFC 190 in Brazil in August 2015, the promotion had a whopping seven fights on the main card, headlined by then-women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey in what was a 34-second knockout win over Bethe Correia.

But the reality is, the fights on the prelims feel like they could be on a main card with the likes of Rashad Evans vs. Tim Kennedy, Frankie Edgar vs. Jeremy Stephens, Michael Johnson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov and Thiago Alves vs. Jim Miller.

Check out the UFC’s newly released official poster for UFC 205, as well as the video preview above.

The latest UFC 205 card includes:
Lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez vs. featherweight champ Conor McGregor – for lightweight title
Champ Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson – for welterweight title
Champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz – for strawweight title
Yoel Romero vs. Chris Weidman
Donald Cerrone vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Raquel Pennington vs. Miesha Tate

Michael Johnson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov
Rashad Evans vs. Tim Kennedy
Tim Boetsch vs. Rafael Natal
Thiago Alves vs. Jim Miller
Lyman Good vs. Belal Muhammad
Liz Carmouche vs. Katlyn Chookagian

[S.B.]

Deze card wordt zo sick...

[Minotauro]

En dan zogenaamd de dikste card ooit geven met UFC 200. Na 205 zijn er al twee events met een betere card dan 200

[mario the count]

best card ever!

[e-type]

Dit jaar zijn we echt verwend hoor, met vette UFC cards, veel titelwisselingen en weinig blessures. JJ wordt echter wel gemist.

Idd, Rousey mis ik overigens helemaal niet. Wat heeft die haar eigen laten kennen, 1 verliespartij en ze haakt gelijk lange tijd af.
