The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

“Conor is not always going to be around. Whoever has that belt at the time will always be there. There will always be a 170-pound champion. What is the big deal if this guy that’s been in the sport 16 (expletive) years goes on and gets a paycheck? I’m fighting a (expletive) killer, a two-time champion, a guy that’s a sniper with his left hand – and I’m also going to make a paycheck,” Masvidal said.

“He gets melted,” Masvidal said during an appearance on The Jim Rome Show. “What the world is looking for him is for him to suffer and get chastised for some of the things that he’s done in public.

“Everybody’s going to feel sorry for him after the fight, I can tell you that much. They’ll forgive him all after the fight I can promise you that. This baptism’s gonna be a little extra for Mr. Conor.”

“My journey has been going on 16 years and I want to be handsomely rewarded for it because for a big part of that 16 years there was a lot of instability and money wasn’t coming in, pay checks weren’t coming in,” Masvidal said. “I wouldn’t mind setting up that future for my grandkids. So the fights that you get the biggest zeroes attached to it, that’s the one that we’re going to take.

“Obviously, Conor fight is out there, the Mayweather fight is out there, they’re saying they’re bringing him on over to Zuffa Boxing. The Usman fight is out there. I’m the golden ticket at combat sports, especially at at 170 pounds. You can’t move in that weight class without mentioning me or having to ask permission to the mighty Gamebred. And it’s just the truth. I might come off ignorant and arrogant, but I’ve been working my whole life for this, to get to this position where now I can be involved in the biggest fights possible and I can rewrite the history books. Because whoever has the belt when I’m done with Conor, that’s whose head’s getting chopped off."
 
Damn hope he can heal up soon. Geoff Neal said he wants to fight him next. Fight would be so damn good
Hell yeah that would be insane. I also kind of want Ponz to fight a big name though because he deserves it. If Ponz beat Neal it would be a very good win but won't really do much for Ponz' profile and stock
 
Are they still adding a fight to 246? I was just browsing espn and under match 3 for that card it just shows TBA
 
Duke lowkey has that used car salesman vibe

“Those reports are not accurate,” Cerrone told MMA Junkie. “I’m not sure where that came. I heard it also. I’m like, ‘Oh, I guess I’m going to Duke Roufus’, huh?’ It’s just another clickbait from you guys. I love you media mother (expletive) Anything you guys can grasp your (expletive) hands on you’ll do it.”
 
Jacare v hall is a weird matchup. feels like a end of contract matchup. One or both could be moving on after.

And I have seen Ponzinibio fight in a year and a half probably. Has he had reoccuring injuries or just being picky with his matchup?
 
That fight isn't happening. T Wood alrdy said he isn't fighting Leon in London. Chael and Danan and all the boys are pressuring him into it. Why would Woodley take that fight? Even if gaurnteed a title shot after that would be silly. Hed make alot more money fighting Colby in 6 months

Interesting.... total 180 from what him and his manager were saying last week. Musta gotta sizable payday to save the card. 500k and pts maybe, champion pay.

I dont like the fight for either guy. Dana trying to knock one of em off for SURE. Neither one is the kinda champion his main demo supports haha
 
Yeah surprised he ended up taking it. Guessing Colby is going to be out for a while from his hurt jaw and feelings and Woodley knows he wouldn't get the rematch first.

Looking like Usman has nobody to fight if they end up going Conor/Masvidal.
 
Woodley looked at his options

Colby or Leon

And figured out quick he ain’t tryin to deal with Colby’s problems 😂 No disrespect but he went from adamantly refusing to fight Leon because he didn’t want to be a “stepping stone” to now not only agreeing to fight him but also in home Country where he specifically said he wouldn’t fight 😂
 
I think Usman's next fight has to be Masvidal. I know Gamebred is trying to hold out for McGregor to get that payday, but it only makes sense for him to go for the title.
 
The Bellator/Rizin joint card is this weekend. While MVP isn't exactly fighting a can, the guy he's fighting went 2-2 in the UFC against some ok competition. Chandler is fighting some guy I've never heard of (sucks Benson had an injury) and yea the main event is about 15-20 years late but hey I'll still watch. Decent card overall though.
 
Vincent Van Goat Vincent Van Goat How do you arrive here? Colby isn't fighting for a MINUTE. He got mauled. Do you think the ufc is trying to wait till the summer to get the division sorted? It all points to him getting paid alot more money to keep the division moving along
