Some early thoughts of mine on the card/lineup:
1) McGregor has another durable fighter designed for a crowd pleasing stand-up fest.
1) McGregor has another durable fighter designed for a crowd pleasing stand-up fest.
2) The addition of Henderson vs Alvarez gives the card some serious punch for a free/cable TV event.
3) The 2 other undercard fights aren't bad at all for a free TV/cable event. The prelims, however, are of virtually no note whatsoever. I mean, Costas Phillippou won't ever fight for a title, but he'll keep it on the fight for awhile against Urijah Hall who may or may not get a nice highlight reel KO. Tibau will out-size Norman Parke and press the UK fighter against the cage and drag him down for at least 2 if not 3 out of 3 rounds. I'm curious as to what the odds makers will book these fights.
Henderson as been inconsistent as of late dropping losses by TKO/Armbar, but also decision-besting the likes of Josh Thomson and finishing Rustam Khabilov. I don't see Alvarez having the chops to stop Henderson but who knows, Bendo had also never been finished via strikes until Rafal Dos Anjos came calling.
