The card for UFC 205 Paper View event will be one of the best in history. What is even more amazing, is that the next few cards after that will be just as good, possibly better. I have to say, after a good year of fights that were less then impressive, they are finally making cards really exciting again. And even the prelims are a must see as well. This is the best time to be a UFC fan, unless you were lucky enough to be around when Royce Gracie changed the sport forever. It is a historical night, and if you are a real fan, or even just a casual fan, you will have a blast watching this event. Here is an article that you might enjoy.

UFC 205 is absolutely stacked – from the curtain-jerker to the champion-vs.-champion main event – and in a new extended preview of next month’s event, we get a deeper look at the championship triple-headliner.
UFC 205 takes place Nov. 12 event at Madison Square Garden, and it marks the organization’s long-awaited New York City debut. The main card, which features six fights instead of the usual five, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
In the headliner, two No. 1-ranked fighters and champions clash. Featherweight titleholder Conor McGregor (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) looks to become the first fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold two belts when he challenges for Eddie Alvarez’s (28-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) recently won lightweight belt.
In the co-main event, welterweight champ Tyron Woodley (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) looks for his first title defense when he takes on No. 2-ranked Stephen Thompson (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC).
Kicking off the slate of title fights is strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) vs. No. 4-ranked Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in a Poland-vs.-Poland matchup.
