This is the last press conference before the last pay-per-view for the UFC this year. UFC 232 may not have been buzzing before the holidays but with the location change from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to keep the main event, this final press conference could be interesting.

Does UFC 232 seem underpromoted to you? It does to us and it was something we discussed on this week's Coast-2-Coast Combat Hour    because the event is ten-days away and it seems like something fight fans should be talking about, but that isn't really happening. Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson 2 is a great fight considering it one that Jones has said it was one of his toughest matches. The co-main event included the long anticipated match between Cris "Cyborg" Justino and Amanda Nunes, a champ versus champ bout that should absolutely make the winner one of the greatest female fighters to ever compete in the sport. Maybe we're too far away from it to start buzzing? Or, maybe December has had so many combat sports event we could be all fought out? That weekend will be the last one of 2018 and there are two, New Year's Eve combat sports events going on right after UFC 232.

While these events, for the most part, were few and far between, some promoters were leading the charge. They saw that women not only deserved their spot at the table but could actually sit at the head of it. From the Indian reservations to UFC 219, I have had the privilege to see the evolution of women in this combat sport, but there was one fight that we can point to that really started it all; Gina Carano vs Cris Cyborg.

This weekend's UFC 222 event is available on Amazon Prime video to order for $64.99. It's the first UFC content ever offered on Amazon's streaming service and probably the first pay-per-view sporting event. Current options to watch the UFC's content are on their Fight Pass service and their Youtube channel for pay-per-views for the same price. Does being on Amazon make it appealing to you or does it make no difference at all? UFC 222 features the return of Cris "Cyborg" Justino vs. Yana Kunitskaya for the featherweight title and a co-main event featuring New Jersey's own Frankie Edgar against Brian Ortega who is currently undefeated.
