Anybody planning on watching some of the Fight Pass cards that are coming thick and fast over the next few weeks? 3 events, 4 if you count the FOX show before the next PPV comes around.

Shogun/Henderson II on Sunday from Brazil.
Nog/Nelson & Guida/Kawajiri on Fri April 11th from Abu Dhabi
Bisping/Kennedy on Thu April 17th

If I had the Fight pass I'd be interested in watching Nog/Nelson and Bisping/Kennedy. I just can't stand Guida anymore.

 

[Deezy]

Don't have Fight Pass, and not really looking for it. One name fight cards are not very interesting, especially when the supply outgrows the demand.

 

[Dale]

Well I don't know if they're on Fight Pass or TV for you guys, but given they weren't PPV's or FOX cards I figured they'd be on there.

 

[Deezy]

Honestly didn't know these cards were happening outside of the Hendo/Shogun.

 

[Dale]

I knew about them, just had no idea they were all in quick succession of one another. Still the sick FOX card to come before Jones/Glover too :

I think Hendo/Shogun is on TV but the two cards after that are Fight Pass only.

 

[Slim]

Yeah I can't even keep up anymore where these cards are happening anymore.

Shogun/Henderson II on Sunday from Brazil. | FS1
Nog/Nelson & Guida/Kawajiri on Fri April 11th from Abu Dhabi | Fight Pass
Bisping/Kennedy on Thu April 17th | FOX
Jones vs. Teixeira | PPV

I have fight pass, I like it for the most part, I watch it all.

Hendooooooo!!!!! Looked like he was close to getting stopped again TWICE, but Hendo being Hendo grabs a W out of almost certain loss. His lateral movement is significantly slower and just doesn't seem to see punches coming his way, a title run is out of the question. But I can see him facing names in the catchweight division, could have a rematch with Wandy, or even face Cung Le.

Also don't like C-Bag Dollaway, but he showed some skills with that shoulder roll, a hard technique to use effectively.

Should've bet on this card, would've made bank if I picked the underdogs.

 

[Slim]

Yeah I watched the last two fights since I worked... Hendo ... mannnnn I thought Shogun had him. Specially that second time with that uppercut. But when Hendo nails you flush with that H-Bomb... its almost a foregone conclusion. Busted that nose all up. Looked nasty. Hendo still has a couple good fights left in him for sure. Him vs. Cung Le would be a pretty entertaining fight. I'd rather see how Wandy does against Sonnen before doing a Hendo/Wandy rematch although that would be awesome no matter what. One of those few Pride rematches that we can finally see.

 

[Hot Rod]

Still saddens me to see how far Shogun has fallen after his knee injuries, absolutely ruined his career.

UFC heavyweight contender Stefan Struve (25-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) said doctors have cleared him to return to action, and he’s ready to schedule his next appearance.

 

[Dale]

Read this last night and it's awesome news for the guy. Hopefully he's been working on his technique (providing he can train that is) because there's no way a guy his size should be getting tagged so often. Pretty fun guy to watch fight though, so credit to him.
