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

this is the real reason why Dana wants CAA out...

they have the resources and legal representation to handle this stuff... thats why Francis is at peace. he knows the ufckery has only just begun
Said this before the fight

Trying to figure out how the UFC would have allowed a contract to let a champion leave the promotion

If this comes down to a legal battle, that would be interesting
 
Rooting for Strickland just cause he’s tony ferguson crazy at this point
Id say based on his tweets and his last MMA Hour interview, Strickland is Grade A homicidal and definitely shines a light on the sort of dregs of society who get into MMA.
Said this before the fight
Maybe it’s because of the Antitrust that their horrible contracts can’t be more horrible. You ever play a game of Uno where they keep skipping you, draw 2, reverse, draw 4, etc over and over? That’s a UFC contract. Randy went through the same thing. AKA was literally on the outs because of you know who (the worst grapple duck Wealter weight of all time).

I noticed Izzy chirping a little. He got two fights left. They gotta pay him a million or more a fight.
 
Didn't someone say strickland was part of a white supremacist group? he's probably responsible for the missing minorities in his area.
 
Kape fighting someone ranked right above him, I wonder how the UFC looks to build him with a win

I just realized the London card is even more loaded with the FW newcomer Mokaev making his UFC debut. The 125 division is going crazy right now. Was on the brink of extinction to this.... wow
 

If Max is ready to go by the fall I'm not sure how the Volk trilogy fight (yes I know I'm looking past KZ) doesn't get rebooked. Maybe Cejudo waits til early 23' and they then try to make the FW title bout. I'm in no way a fan of him jumping the line and plus that will make it almost three years since his last fight.
 

Look like Henry might need some cash after all. Welcome back Cringe

I know he wants that third belt but I think he'd be much better at 135, if they make him take a non title fight at 145 against a contender, that might not work out for him

But really any fights at 135 or 145 would be highly intriguing and entertaining so I'm in, I hope he really comes back
 
He’s probably hyped/energized by the recent title fights his team have been involved in.

Figgy might have to give him the side eye. Henry could turn into a rival.

I wonder if he’s accepting the pay? He’s literally sat out almost two years in “retirement.”
 
Trying to add 1k fans to the Apex

"The current 13,000-square-foot Apex facilities request for expansion is slated to be up for approval at Wednesday’s Feb. 2nd Clark County Zoning Commission meeting. The proposed plan is to host up to 1,000 fans for events, adding food and alcohol service, ticket booths, as well as a souvenir shop."
 
Was really hoping this card would be good for my bday but it’s not shaping up so far. Was thinking about buying tickets if good event

 
So cejudo can’t fight until august earliest?

6 months from now if he just went back into usada testing??
 
1,000 fans in the APEX would be lit. Definitely help increase the noise level and avoid the commentary coaching 😂
 
Costa is such a weirdo and low-key irrelevant now. I forgot about him completely

Just fight another striker to try and get back into the mix smh

Actually I'd like to see him go to Bellator

 
It really shows your star power in the UFC. Paulo was this giant freak of nature when I saw UFC 217. He really needs a win to be relevant again.
 
Wow, Izzy coming in hot, dude really hates Whittaker lol. Even mentions Alex Perreria

“It was his ego last time, but I called it from the fight,” Adesanya said in an interview with his sponsor Stake before his UFC 271 rematch with ex-champ Whittaker. “I said at the time that he is acting out of character, and I also said he is not being himself.

“People kept saying what a good guy he is, but trust me he’s not. You don’t see that behind the scenes. And now he’s admitted it was his ego that got the best of him - well I told you so, he should have listened to me!

“What else can he say? He said after the fight that it was the best he’s ever felt, well I do not forget that. If he can get better, he’ll have to bring the best again, and I will beat him again.”

“My prediction is that I am going to f*ck Whittaker up, again,” Adesanya said. “He can’t stand with me, so I know he will be forced to grapple. Last time he said Kevin Gastelum has given the blueprint on how to beat Adesanya,’ and now he’s saying ‘Jan has given the blueprint’.... he needs to write his own blueprint. If he wants to copy someone else’s work, then by all means try, because it went so well last time for him when we fought.

“Whittaker may have learnt from his mistakes from last time for maybe a round or so, but then trust me, he will revert back to those errors. Once he feels what he felt last time, he won’t know where to turn. Also, he didn’t even grapple with me last time, he didn’t really feel me. You can ask any of my previous opponents, they will tell you. So once he feels me in a grapple, then he will get shook again.”

““When I beat Whittaker, I honestly don’t have any immediate plan on what to do next,” he said. “I am just going to keep doing what I am doing at 185, line them up and knock them down. And once I’ve lapped the division on my terms, then I might step up and do another side mission at a different weight.”

“In terms of fighting Alex Pereira, he has only had one fight, so it’s a bit premature yet,” he said. “Let’s see how he does in other fights, but I do look forward to that arc in my story.”
