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

[Vincent Van Goat]

Listening to everyone’s ideas and predictions about 300… I would be surprised actually to get a jaw dropping announcement

i see that izzy is putting on mass which who knows if that means anything for 300 or if it just means he’s changing his body in general

Tuesday should be interesting

 

[xbiker47]

I’m assuming pending the outcome of ankalaev/walker and Sean/ddp the ufc could be hoping to turn those guys right around for 300

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Haven’t seen any of topurias pre ufc fights but he obviously got dropped by Herbert at 155

Topuria has heart at least if you wanna say he gets dropped

I think you’re right… which is trash imo

Like if their plan is to have the 185 belt to headline 300– that’s absolute trash to make one of them turnout that quickly

 

[joebo21]

think Izzy and Pereira at 205 is a worthy main for 300. Honestly have no idea who they're gonna put on there. 298 and 299 or so stacked

 

[xbiker47]

The thought of having Alex AND Izzy fight on 300 is enough for me to feel like the card is a banger

298 is super stacked.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yup this is why 300 is so murky, the previous two cards have a lot of star power, honestly 298 way more so

I do feel like they could do that izzy Alex 205 fight to headline 300

How the hell Alex really only have 9 mma wins and 11 total fights lol

I could watch them fight three times a year

 

[spiderjericho]

I don’t think he’s going to fight in 2027. But I also don’t see Izzy fighting at 300. Just doesn’t appear to have the motivation and seems to just be enjoying his life right now.

I’m curios if he’s been training. I see his arms look bigger in one post.

He’s been partying and traveling the world but April is still far from now. He could easily get in camp

His little interview saying how people were stupid to think he was coming back in 2027 was telling. He will be back soon

He records himself still working out here and there including showing off his added muscle mass

What bothers me the most is Dana had islam/khamzat sit most of last year for the Abu Dhabi card. They knew 300 was coming and are now throwing it together last minute. Conor could of easily headlined, Sean/chito and some other title fights.

 

[spiderjericho]

But what about that card paid for lol? What Muslim stars do you put on there?

Belal is fighting at 300.

Mokaev. Ikram.

Khamzat looks sick as ish.

So Islam gotta get on there.

I low key feel like UFC knows this is the last year of their contract and is now getting off their A.

 

[xbiker47]

Double post.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Also Mike heck was speculating that there will be a return fighter at 300

Fans called in saying maybe Gsp, Nate, Nick, anderson, Ronda, Brock etc.

Heck said it’s highly unlikely to be any of them

Nobody suggested zabit

 

[アミーゴ]

What’s the deal with Usman

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Between 170 and 185 there’s a huge logjam… usman is out of luck it seems especially after he lost the whittaker fight

Yeah just more so curious especially after taking the October fight on short notice

Didn’t they say they were trying to have him fight Shavkat (in a perfect world)?

He’s definitely in that weird Tony territory. Won 15-16 fights and now is 0-3 his last three fights. They keep putting him against the very best. Regardless of how fair or unfair that is. He could lose to Shavkat and literally be winless in four fights.

At least with him trying to fight Whitaker, he was trying to give 185 a chance.

 

[アミーゴ]

Shav asked for Usman but was told no (before last fight) - we will see

 

[spiderjericho]

It’s all heresay but the Nose said they’re trying to make the Shavkat/Usman fight.

I don’t want to say the nose knows. But he definitely does like to blurb out the UFC plans (though he doesn’t know what’s up w 300).

The UFC didn’t want to do it when we last spoke but may have changed this past week (spoke to him before NYE).

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Usman showed heart but I still think he’s just done now

 

[xbiker47]

No sense in doing Usman/shavkat after the wonderboy fight. Shavkat is clearly next up after belal and Usman might as well fight belal next if he looses to Leon
