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

I found it interesting that Whittaker said he fought angry and wanted to kill zestbender. Guess israel got what he wanted by talking crap about Rob's heritage. people look like absolute douchebags trashtalking guys like Rob who won't say a bad thing about anybody.

I just wanna know where 273 is gonna take place now. Can’t believe how loaded that card is compared to March when that one is in Vegas.

Karolina lookin like a whole snack! Just checked and see she's on a 5 fight skid. Wonder if she ever returns, I knows she's talked retirement recently so maybe not.

Seems like with UFC not wanting to go anywhere where crowd restrictions could be in place they could move 273 to FL, TX or potentially AZ.

 

[xbiker47]

Rumor is Jacksonville

Was hoping Arizona since I have family out there

Hoping Kattar beats the brakes off Chikadze this weekend. Dude is talking too much and looking passed people for a guy that is only ranked #8.

Hope he gets handled the same way my boy Matt Embree got him in Glory.

 

[steevoo1]

Yeah I think everyone is giving Kattar no respect cause he took that beating from Max. Giga definitely looking past him with his "Volk taking the easiest fight" take.

Giga has that nasty liver kick but his boxing is pretty wild with wide swinging punches. I think he gets tuned up by Kattar every time he steps in that pocket.

Fight should be closer to a pick em than 2:1.

I love Mauro, man

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Just listened to the Giga presser, I know he talked some **** about Volk picking the easiest fight. But, he was absolutely not lying. There's nothing wrong with Volk doing that but Giga didn't say anything false

Giga just doing what he needs to to keep his name in the pot. With Max in the wings, you have to think Giga will be in line still even if he beats Kattar

In the presser Giga was very humble and respectful. He even said he might have to start talking more to get more opportunities. I got no issue with Giga, hope he wins actually. He's got some momentum want to see it continue

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The right choice

Now make:

Burns v Chimaev
Luque v Belal

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

So, put one of those fights I just listed in my last post as the co-main event

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yes! Topuria still on for next week

 

[boxer15]

I love Mauro, man

To each his own, can’t stand him. Only person worse to me is Schiavello.

 

[jayt1202]

Agreed the Burns/Khamzat fight sounds close to done so co-main here makes perfect sense.

 

[jewseejay]

Dana making a point to remind everyone Leon signed the contract to fight Khamzat twice... and sneaking in hes 100% getting the title shot and hell be fighting in England this summer.

 

[xbiker47]

Interesting to see Dana finally confirm Leon is for sure getting the title shot.

Dana did say women were never fighting in the UFC at one time lol.

I want Leon to get the shot though. Doubt it would be held in London, most challengers don't get a title fight in their hometown and Leon sure won't the way he's been treated.

Colby vs Masvidal is a great main event imo.

- There's history / bad blood there.
- Interesting stylistically.
- Both **** talkers.

I pray Colby isn’t racist toward Masvidal. They both train in Miami. I wanna say Colby’s coaches are Hispanic. Plz for gods sake.

Stylistically, Colby does not have the pop Usman has. However, five rounds? You have to give it to Colby. I mean Usman might have lost that fight if Colby wasn’t a dork and respected him the first two rounds.

Also, Dana also said Kayla was a nobody and scared of Amanda.

Its how it worked for GSP....

I understand GSP is a huge draw but this sounds a little personal as well.

 

[spiderjericho]

Pick and Choose.

Henry "retired" because he was trying to negotiate higher pay. It didn't work out.

But we all know it's pick and choose. Conor wants to fight Mayweather. He's their biggest star, they want to make him happy and they get a cut off it. Why not? Anderson wants to box Roy Jones Jr, nah. GSP has the audacity after the MW debacle to ask to be able to fight Oscar De La Hoya? Lol. Whatever they dyed his hair with must have got into his brain. But wait...prior to Jake Paul becoming Dana's enemy...he lets "retired" Ben Askren go get a bag?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I don't think Dana needs him in the current landscape and deal he has with ESPN

Henry stated pretty plainly this week that he respects Dana and there's no ill will there

I feel like Henry will need to come off the asking price to ever come back, unfortunately for him

 

[spiderjericho]

And the only way to come back is the UFC thanks to that exploitive contract.

I mean he was a champ and making PPV points (whatever that means). His stock would’ve gone up. Crazy…Ali is his manager.
