WMK Series 5 Round 1 John Howard vs. Gasan Umalatov 3x5 Round 2 Brad Tavares vs. Israel Adesanya 5x5 Round 3 Francis N'Gannou vs. Derrick Lewis 3x5 Round 4 Max Holloway vs. Brian Ortega 5x5 UFC Featherweight Title Round 5 Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier 5x5 UFC Heavyweight Title @UnleashtheFURY, @pablinov, @Oneirokritis, @ForemanJab, @DONT B SCARED, @mirkofilipovic, @JordanK2406 and @Chuck Norris
Just an opinion but I don't agree with the Howard v Umaltov fight being in top 5 fights UFC 226 is loaded with good fights
There's a couple others with higher ranked fighters but how about Felder v Perry which I think could be fight of the night? I'm looking forward to seeing Adesanya scoring the KO over the tough Tavares other wise that fight could be a grind.
I like Felder there despite coming up in weight. Perry is just too basic and can't deal with anyone who has sound striking fundamentals. Not convinced Adesanya wins that one.... Tavares is a true vet and a sold gatekeeper, this is a massive step in competition and he just might lose a grinding decision.
Hopefully that line up of fights for WBK isn't what is going ahead ?Yeah I agree with you about Fridays main event big step up for Adesanya who I hop gets the early KO but think Tavares wins a boring decision

I'm not sure what the buzz is in the USA for UFC226 but id be surprised if it sells any more then 500k-600k PPV's. With how good the card is overall and the calibre of fighters headlining it feels like the UFC should have done more to promote the card,I mean it shouldn't be hard having 3 champions headlining who will all be likely HOFers and a special young talent in Ortega. Sadly it seems they won't get the numbers they deserve also because of no animosity amongst the fighters in those title fights fake or otherwise which seems to attract some of the casuals.
Maybe lucky to get much over 300-350k now with Holloway v Ortega postponed. Whats the plan for the WBK now?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry... It's all too familiar of a scene( a stacked PPV to get hit last minute with pullouts)
Per your suggestion tonight's fight will be removed from the WMK. Chuck and I will think of two fights on 226 to replace them with.
