Overreem-Blaydes Discuss Move To Prelims

With the UFC 225 pay per view card now featuring Holly Holm and Megan Anderson, one fight had to move to the preliminary fight, and Curtis Blaydes and Alistair Overreem drew the short straw and now are on the FS1 Prelims.

Following the announcement during Saturday’s broadcast, both men took to Twitter to discuss the shift in card placement.

Just found out that our fight June 9 is on the prelims?! What do you guys think of that decision? #ufc225 @UFCEurope @ufc pic.twitter.com/zxMSkNCCdf

For the record I have no problem with the decision because now people in Europe don’t have to stay up late and the sooner the better.

“I’ve got no idea why the change was made and tbh idc it literally changes nothing, still getting paid and still have a job to do,” Blaydes wrote on Instagram. “Only perk is now I get to clock out of work closer to 8 as opposed to like 10ish”
