The UFC 205 Main Event Preview – Building The Monster Draw

It’s finally happening. Dana White has brought the Ultimate Fighting Championship to one of the most hallowed sports venues on the planet. Madison Square Garden will host the biggest and best card that the UFC has ever put forth, and it’s headlined by a Champion-vs-Champion title fight featuring Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez.

From top to bottom, UFC 205 has it all. Three title fights serve as the headliners, with three more fights featuring Cerrone, Weidman and Meisha Tate. On top of that the preliminary card has names like Frankie Edgar, Rashad Evans, Jim Miller, Thiago Alves and Jeremy Stephens. It simply doesn’t get better than this.

But the main event is Eddie Alvarez defending his lightweight title against Conor McGregor, and it’s a matchup that could absolutely set up an even bigger, monster draw for Dana White and the UFC. It’s a well planned, no-lose strategy to build for things further down the road.

I’ll have a full main card preview next week, but for now I need to focus on this tantalizing main event. It’s just so intelligently put together that I must marvel in all its glory.
