The stacked 13 fight card will get going on with preliminary action on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET. Preliminary action will continue on FOX Sports 1 at 8pm, leading into the Pay Per View main card at 10pm. If interested in wagering on this parlay, or any bouts for this fight card, all betting lines are currently made available at Several Bookmakers. And without further ado, here are my one-liners for UFC 205 in New York City… MAIN CARD (PAY PER VIEW) Eddie Alvarez vs Conor McGregor McGregor looks to make history by holding titles in two weight divisions by defeating the Champion Alvarez for his lightweight strap. Tyron Woodley vs Stephen Thompson Woodley looks to make his first UFC welterweight title defense against “Wonderboy” in this battle between knockout artists. Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz It’s “JJ vs KK” in this 115-pound title tilt between two Polish girls determined to leave it all inside the Octagon in effort of victory. Chris Weidman vs Yoel Romero Weidman, the only real New Yorker on the card takes on a fellow wrestler in Cuba’s Romero and this one’s expected to get the crowd riled up. Miesha Tate vs Racquel Pennington Tate was Pennington’s coach on a previous season of The Ultimate Fighter reality television series, and now the student takes on the Master! PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX SPORTS 1) Frankie Edgar vs Jeremy Stephens Stephens looks for the biggest win of his career against Edgar, who desparately needs a victory in order to remain relevant in the division. Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Michael Johnson A classic “striker vs grappler” match-up that has fight fans biting their nails in anticipation. Rafael Natal vs Tim Boetsch “Sapo” looks to get back into the win column by taking out Boetsch in this rare “winner vs loser” match-up in the UFC’s 185-pound division. Belal Muhammad vs Vicente Luque A sleeper for the evening’s ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus, I think these welterweights will put on a real show for the fans in New York City. PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC FIGHT PASS) Thiago Alves vs Jim Miller Alves failed to make weight for his lightweight debut, so he will be contesting Miller at a catchweight; fight some lost interest factor. Liz Carmouche vs Katlyn Chookagian Chookagian plans to stay undefeated by taking out Carmouche, who is the first female fighter to ever step foot inside the Octagon.
