This comment in the latest Embedded.

"Tony Ferguson the type of guy to tell the referee to protect himself at all times."

First 3 UFC events back from Hiatus

Holloway vs Kattar
Edwards vs Chimaev
McGregor vs Poirer

That's insane but again gotta assume something terrible will happen with COVID

 

[steevoo1]

At least the last 2 fight cards are on fight island. That is the best way to keep fights in tact. Saw that they were planning on bringing fighters there earlier then last time too, so fighters will at least be in the bubble a few weeks out.

Wonder if they'll be staying all the way to the ppv in February.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Also on the McGregor Poirier card Dana is hinting at having Gaetjhe vs Chandler fight to serve as a backup plan should anything happen to the main event

Oh man January is going to be absolutely insane

I can’t lose the fire if I tattoo a fireplace on my head.

I'm under the impression this will only be for a week, the 3 cards and back to the U.S.

I would assume if that is true, March PPV would be back on fight island if the Izzy fight happens.

Just realizing Figueredo is in another title fight 20 days after his last one, has a champ ever had a turnaround like that before?

Either way, hope that guy is getting paid for that

No they put up a graphic the other day I think Rousey and Matt Hughes had quick turnarounds but Figs takes the cake.

Just now realizing Moreno fought 3 weeks ago as well , this **** is wild.

But I guess they're even as far as prep goes then, may the best man win.

Dunno why moreno wasn’t given the title shot back then since he was ranked #1. Seemed like they wanted to promote the guy from dana white’s contender series instead.

Moreno was on TUF though lol. But yea maybe they though Perez had a more exciting fighting style...

dwcs got more juice than tuf nowadays.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Re-watched conors career last night and decided to rehash the embeddeds for the Poirer fight, some good stuff in here....

 

[jayt1202]

McGregor looking brolic in his recent training pic. Pretty insane to see him back in those old embeddeds when he was cutting to 145.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

His cut to 45 was insane, he looked so sucked out but he always made it.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

A few interesting notes on tomorrow's card (which to be honest every fight is good):

1. Holland has cut weight 5 times in 7 months
2. Oliveria's head coach caught COVID and won't be in his fighter's corner... which is amazing that Oliveria doesn't have it? Either way not ideal heading into the biggest fight of his career

 

[xbiker47]

Not sure how Charles does not have it but his head coach does

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Finally released the last episode

The weight cuts these guys put themselves through is just inhumane. Dude had an army supporting him

 

[dasitmane]

I wouldn't guarantee this fight is actually happening until the octagon door locks. We've seen plenty of fight day cancellations already.

 

[whtascene]

Watching Tony get up to his weird antics on Embedded episodes is weirdly entertaining.

 

[shogun]

Any fighters or former fighters have serious health issues from weight cuts?

These weight cuts are wrong, man. They need to change their requirements.

 

[imasoleman18]

i went to a Halloween gathering sat between two friends who caught it at the party and i didn't get it lol, also for the karens i havent been to a gathering since

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Karens would actually encourage you to gather at parties

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Watching the remaining Embedded's now, Tony really toeing that lunatic threshold. It just pops off the screen with every other word or action. He's his own coach now, got rid of his nutritionist and had already switched his management team

He's definitely not right it's kinda crazy when you watch all his interviews this week and then go back to his past few years of antics... he seems like a schizo
