This is already a monster 155lb/135lb showcase, aka the two best divisions in the sport. Even have built-in backups for each title fight. Could be event of the year if everything stays intact.

The schedule also includes well-known contests like Petr Yan vs Sean O’Malley, Belal Muhammad vs Sean Brady, and Beneil Dariush vs Mateusz Gamrot. The main programme of the event will consist of these matches. Although the preliminary card pairings haven’t been revealed, it’s logical to presume they will further heighten the intrigue surrounding the card.
It goes without saying that after the news, MMA Twitter was buzzing. Check out some of the finest social media comments made by fans.

Even if a battle has been announced, there is no absolute assurance that it will happen. In the past, fights have not occurred due to several factors, including injuries, weight loss, and even travel difficulties.
Users @Sebas 142301 and @YE YUHHH on Twitter are hopeful that none of the scheduled matches are impacted by these issues.

Others have noted that the event is “really” worth the money the UFC charges. Despite all the gripes about the rise of pay-per-view (PPV) prices, users @4id4n Mc and @Metalchondria concur that buying the PPV would be a wise investment.
If that’s the main card, that’s all they could show and it’d be worth every penny.

Each fight that has been confirmed has the potential to serve as the event’s headliner, as noted by Twitter user @saiyamsethi5. That’s why he’s thrilled that all scheduled flights will be on a single event.
Wait .. when they announced each of these fights I thought they were all different events LOL … THIS IS ONE CARD!?!? DAMNNNN
