UFC 219 is set to take place in Las Vegas on December 30th. Normally, the UFC’s December occasion is allowed as the big end-of-year display with a card that is stacked from top to bottom. On the other hand, the current menu for UFC 219 lacks a little sizzle.
The main event has Cris Cyborg defending her featherweight title against the other ferocious puncher at Holly Holm. On paper, it might seem one-sided, but remember the last time we doubted Holm in perceived mismatch name fight?
It is a fantastic matchup, to be certain. Still, there are worries that it won’t sell pay-per-views. Thus now, rumors are swirling about last-minute additions to the card, including Nate Diaz in some capacity. A trilogy fight with Conor McGregor was the dream, but that will not be occurring as McGregor is dealing with some fallout from his Bellator fiasco and bumping a drug cartel associate. Oops.
Those transgressions will keep the Irishman out of the UFC octagon for an extended time period, or even permanently.
In terms of Diaz, he seemingly has been provided everything but the moon. However, the Stockton native is demanding a celestial figure, where I mean totes and bags of money, until he steps within an Octagon again.
While one or two bouts could be added to give the card a few extra pugilistic goodness, it looks like the main event is put, and I am ok with that. What fans really need at this point are quality conflicts, not just big names. And in addition to Cyborg/Holm, we are going to visit Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Edson Barboza, a massive battle that could give us another lightweight contender. The weigh-in may be just as striking as the fight given Nurmagomedov struggles to make 155.
While we wait patiently for more spice to be inserted, let us stir the existing pot and divide the primary and co-main events of the day to your gambling needs.
