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

Eh. I don't care at all that Jorge v Colby is headlining a PPV, like, it's nothing to be bothered about at all. Just like if Nate v Dustin headlined a PPV, like what does it matter, lol unless you guys actually pay for the PPV then I understand

It does have stakes. Colby had two close losses to Usman, so with a win over Jorge keeps up appearances. Stack another win after that and he is right back into an earned title shot

Jorge on the other hand, what was a better matchup? He was originally scheduled to fight Leon Edwards which on paper is an even more nonsensical matchup than Colby considering the win streak Leon is on

So I'm not quite sure what there is to quibble over

This is a fight that has needed to happen for years. It's happening now very soon. I'm excited for it, I think Colby will try to stand up with him for at least a little bit
 
Never say never especially when you do a favor of headlining a PPV. But Khamzat and Leon Edwards are probably next in line.

And Colby is going to out cardio Jorge. He'll take him down Fo Sure. This isn't Usman 1 where it just seemed to be a high risk/reward.
 
Yeah I was excited for Volk/Max 3 and Aljo/Yan 2. Glad I ain't buy flight tickets already :lol:

Covington/Masvidal is a fun fight that needed to happen cause the beef, but to headline a ppv alone. Nah fam, I'm good. You ain't gonna catch me in that crowd with dumb *** trump fans from both sides going at each other.

That TKZ replacement does nothing for me. The beating he took from Ortega just seems so recent. I expect Volk to make light work of him man. Would e rather seen Emmet get that fight. But I still got mad love for TKZ, hope he brings it against Volk.
 
Emmet looked one dimensional his last fight. At this point, it’s feed Volk a jobber till Max back. Volk bout to get his third title defense. Headed toward GOAT FW.

If they don’t throw Porier/Diaz on there…

At least that would be a decent double header of people main event.
 
I really wanted to see Giga get a nice KO win this weekend and call for that volk fight.

I truly believe he in the only legit 145er that could beat volk outside of max
 
Under the radar news today

Ige v Topuria would be crazy. Have been really looking forward to Topuria's next fight, he seems like a killer

 
Colby vs Masvidal is a great main event imo.

- There's history / bad blood there.
- Interesting stylistically.
- Both **** talkers.
 
Dern/Torres is a good matchup to me. We get to see if Dern can get back in the mix for a potential TS or if Torres is ready to move up and be one or two more fights away.
 
Kevin Holland is on Only Fans. Lol. Watching this interview with Ariel...

Holland is the biggest talker who hasn't done anything lol
 
Whittaker seems like he's in a great place. He's been trending that way for a while now with his head space

This should be a great fight
 
My most anticipated fight for the year. Expecting a war between them. Hopefully close to the Izzy/Gastelum fight.
 
Whittaker went into some detail about how he analyzes the fight. He said Jan laid the blue print
I just find it hard for him to replicate that type of fight when he doesn't have the size advantage or the cage size in his favor.

I got Izzy winning but will be a much closer fight than the 1st one. That blitzing heavy lead karate style Rob has is always going to be a tough matchup against someone as slick as Izzy in counters.

Till gave him some big problems and he's no where near the level as Izzy.

Yeah Jan is a diff problem

But Whittaker referenced a lot of specifics in how he can try to win. It was cool to hear him kind of go into it and the matchup
 
On a side note, for the MMA fiends who missed live content the past month. Invicta has an Atom weight title fight tonight live on YouTube on their channel and MMA Junkies feed. Should be a fun fight. 105lb division should be looked at closely, wouldn't be surprised if UFC adds that division within the next year or 2.
 
Henry was on with Josh and Big John... he continues to sound perfectly content with never fighting again. I think he actually means it, he genuinely sounds like it. He's got his accomplishments. He got married. Became a father. Has a podcast

I mean, I know he wants to fight again, he's out there campaigning for the Volk fight. He just wants that money

But idk, if you kind of don't have that absolute hunger anymore, you have these other distractions.. you're just already going towards a bad direction

I really want to see him fight again for sure. I just hope like, he's not already like checking out mentally

He said he wants to fight Max too
