Ali ain’t doing his client any favors fully knowing Justin probably won’t get a title shot unless there’s injury(ies)

Diamond gunna finish hooker

Diamond gunna finish hooker

Really hope that fight gets made. I would favor Dustin in that one as well. I consider Felder a middle of the pack LW and Hooker struggled with him (MMA math doesn't always compute but Dustin's standup is levels above Felder's). Plus I doubt Dustin gets the Nate fight.

 

[spiderjericho]

I don’t see Dustin taking the Hooker fight. After losing the title fight, his interest is on fights with rewards. No reward in fighting number 5 or 6.

I don’t think Hooker has anything for Tony, Justin, Dustin, Conor and Khabib.

Welp there is a belt on the line this weekend, I know its the vacant FLW belt no one really cares about. I'll probably watch the ESPN+ replay of the main event sometime Sunday. Never heard of the guy Joe is fighting. Was looking on Wiki and there are two women's FW fights on the main card lol. There hasn't been a FW titlefight since Dec 2018.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

FW belt? No triple C? Not interested.....

rather watch drunk chicks fight on friday night after the club

Fig bout to get the whole division canceled if he can beat Joe B.

 

[Cashflow]

How do you blow the chance of a lifetime like this?

 

[xbiker47]

Will laugh if Fig wins this fight

 

[jayt1202]

So if Fig wins the belt stays vacant?? What a shhh show. They might really scrap the division this time.

No Cejudo would remain champion

Not any worse than the time Romero missed weight for that interim MW title fight.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Holy ****, just realized Izzy vs Romero is basically a week away

 

[spiderjericho]

Yes.
But bigger than that, imo, Zang vs JJ!!

See you soon, boy.

 

[Fong$tarr]

Yes.
But bigger than that, imo, Zang vs JJ!!

See you soon, boy.

I really wonder of Zang is all hype. I am not doubting her past career but whenever fighters come into the UFC (Askren), it's just another animal. Wonder how she does with JJ.

 

[spiderjericho]

That’s the question. If Zang beats Rose and JJ, that division is a wrap.

See you soon, boy. Romero is definitely the boogie man. Izzy better be careful.

 

[steevoo1]

Zang making light work of Andrade the way she did put the hype question to rest imo. It's just if she is/can hang with the elites in the division now

 

[Xennial]

smh why won't the fighters unionize

UFC fighters rage over low pay while investors reap big dividends

Former fighters at the Ultimate Fighting Championship are fuming over multimillion-dollar payments recently handed out to the league’s rich and famous investors. A main target of their ire is UFC’s…

As if this crappy UFC fight card couldn't get worst Figueiredo had to miss weight.

Made the whole card a bust to be honest. I’m just playing it as background noise at this point.

Top-ranked fighters including Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone have also vented their frustrations about pay. After facing Conor McGregor in the blockbuster main event of UFC 246, the fighter revealed he was paid significantly less than the rumored 7-10 million payout:

“Hahahahah 7-10 million,” Cerrone responded to a follower on Instagram. “I didn’t get PPV money. What the world thinks and what really happens is so different. I made flat money.”

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

That fight was about to deliver, ref gotta chill

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wow the replay makes it looks so much worse. He was partially blocking those kicks and they didn't really connect. Breh

 

[boxer15]

Ref ruined that. Nothing landed excerpt on punch before the stoppage.

Couple that with the bull**** by the Russian before the fight. No contest needed here if anything. Hang that ref out to dry.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This fighter flipping the crowd off it's not his fault you dumbass fans
