UFC335: Five Reasons Why This Card Is Actually A Really Big Deal

End-of-year UFC cards always go pretty hard, but UFC 335 is shaping up to be a whole nother level of badassery. A BMF belt on the line, Poatan betting his whole heavyweight run on one fight, and an undercard that's actually stacked? If there’s one to miss, this ain’t it. 

Not convinced? We’ve put together 5 reasons why UFC335 is actually really big deal, and why you should come watch it at our place.

The BMF Belt Is On The Line

We’ll see Charles Oliveira defends the BMF (baddest motherf*cker) title against Diego Lopes, in an all-Brazilian main event. Lopes is 28-8 with wins over Brian Ortega, Jean Silva and Steve Garcia. Two dangerous finishers, five rounds. The best place to watch it all go down? At your local Varsity, obviously.

Poatan's Heavyweight Dream Could Be Over

Alex Pereira is back, and the stakes are huuuuge. It's his first fight since losing to Gane, and he's said himself that if he loses, he's dropping back to 205. If he wins, he's straight into title contention against whoever comes out on top between Gane and Hokit at UFC 334. Win, and he's chasing gold in a third division. Lose, and the heavyweight dream is over.

Pavlovich Ain’t One To Mess With

If the stakes we're high enough for Poatan already, his opponent is No. 2-ranked heavyweight Sergei Pavlovich. A Russian knockout artist who's 21-3. It's a five-round co-main between two of the scariest men in the sport, it's the lock-in of the century. Whatever happens, it’ll be dope.

Bo Nickal Biggest Test

Bo Nickal is one of the hottest middleweight prospects in the UFC, and he's coming off a nasty KO of Kyle Daukaus in June. Now he's stepping up against Joe Pyfer, who's 16-3. The winner is knocking on the door of a title shot, so expect both guys to come out swinging. Hard.

The Undercard is Lowkey Stacked

Don't sleep on the rest of the card. Brandon Moreno takes on Charles Johnson at flyweight, and Maycee Barber faces Carli Judice in what's basically a must-win for Barber after her loss to Alexa Grasso. Then there's Quentin Pasley, an undefeated light heavyweight making his UFC debut against Junior Tafa. Plus, we’ll be serving food and beers throughout.
