UFC 219 is set to take place in Las Vegas on December 30th. Typically, the UFC’s December event is allowed as the big end-of-year display with a card that’s stacked from top to base. However, the present menu for UFC 219 lacks a little sizzle.
The main event has Cris Cyborg protecting her featherweight title against another ferocious puncher at Holly Holm. On paper, it may look one-sided, but recall the last time we doubted Holm in perceived mismatch name fight?
It’s a fantastic matchup, to be sure. Still, 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 dream, but that will not be occurring as McGregor is coping with some fallout from his Bellator fiasco and punching out a drug cartel associate. Oops.
Those transgressions will keep the Irishman out of the UFC octagon for a protracted time period, or even 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 cash, before he steps within an Octagon again.
While one or two more bouts could be inserted to give the card some additional pugilistic goodness, it appears that the main event is set, and I’m okay with that. What fans really need at this point are quality conflicts, not only big names. And as well as Cyborg/Holm, we are going to see Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Edson Barboza, a huge battle that could give another lightweight contender. The weigh-in may be just as dramatic as the battle given Nurmagomedov struggles to make 155.
While we wait for more spice to be added, let’s stir the existing pot and divide the main and co-main events of the evening to your betting needs.
