Mike Perry vs Eddie Alvarez.
Trading body shots at the weigh in?
I’m definitely going to watch though.

No competition after Covington at 170. Give me a break. Covington isn't even the rightful contender in the first place.
Covington's biggest coup is that he lost to Usman. Twice. But because one fight was fairly close, he milks that he should be the rightful contender. Utter joke. Don't know why UFC loves this guy so much. Does he get big PPV numbers? I don't think so.
I don't know if he's selling a bunch of extra PPVs but I can certainly say that Edwards/Colby is a legit PPV headliner while Edwards/Belal would probably be stuck co-headlining something. I'm not saying Colby deserves the fight at all - he doesn't - but he's certainly a bigger draw then the other options.
You know what will happen...Edwards will beat Colby, Colby will beat someone like Thompson and then get another title shot lolYeah you're probably right. Belal is the rightful contender. He's on winning streak of 5. And the NC was against Leon. But he's not exciting and doesn't sell. Hopefully Edwards wins so we don't get a Colby title shot ever again.

He's fought once a year in the last 3 years (4 including 2023). At 36 it gets really hard to take an extra 15lbs off, especially to fight once a year, and especially for a non title fight (he loses to Leon he doesn't get an immediate shot at Islam) It's definitely something he should have done earlier in his career though.I could see Colby dropping to 155lbs if he loses. I think he could make that cut and there are far more interesting fights for him there.
Once again PFL missing the mark with the pricing of this event. As stupid as it is at $19.99-$24.99 I'm probably like whatever I'll buy it but I'm not paying $50 for their product. I figure they'd grow their promotion and probably make more money lowering the price. Guess I'll find other ways to watch.
They did a much worse job of filling out the card this year too, outside of the title fights really only Brunson/Cooper is of interest to me. Kayla should crush Ladd easily and the first two installments of Wade/Bubba were not fun fights, don’t even have any thoughts on the rest. Though I am interested in a few of the title fights (OAM/Collard, Pinedo/Braga 2, Impa/Silveira), nothing worth paying $50 forThis PFL season was pretty weak in general. Honestly I have no interest in this card at all, wouldn't pay $10 for it.
