UFC 219 is set to take place in Las Vegas on December 30th. Typically, the UFC’s December occasion is earmarked as the large end-of-year display with a card that’s stacked from top to base. However, the present menu for UFC 219 lacks just 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 recall the last time we doubted Holm in perceived mismatch title fight?
It’s a fantastic matchup, to be certain. Yet, there are concerns that it won’t sell pay-per-views. Thus now, rumors are swirling about last-minute additions to the card, such as Nate Diaz in some capacity. A trilogy struggle with Conor McGregor has been the fantasy, but that won’t be occurring as McGregor is coping with some fallout from his Bellator fiasco and bumping out a drug cartel associate. Oops.
Those transgressions will continue to keep the Irishman out of the UFC octagon for an extended time period, if not permanently.
In terms of Diaz, he apparently has been provided everything but the moon. However, the Stockton native is demanding a celestial figure, where I mean bags and bags of money, before he steps inside an Octagon again.
While one or two more bouts could be inserted to provide the card some additional pugilistic goodness, it appears that the main event is set, and I am okay with that. What fans really need at this stage are quality fights, not only big names. And in addition to Cyborg/Holm, we are going to visit Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Edson Barboza, a huge fight that could give us another lightweight contender. The weigh-in may be just as striking as the battle given Nurmagomedov struggles to make 155.
While we wait patiently for more shine to be added, let us stir the existing pot and divide the primary and co-main events of this day to your gambling needs.
