[Vincent Van Goat]

I would say garry and rakhmanov were the two I was looking forward to seeing the most so this is a huge disappointment

Holland vs luque is fine— I honestly had zero hype for Garry vs luque as a matchup

I hope they do something way more interesting with Garry when he gets healthy

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He better not be selling wolf tickets

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

They gotta let hoLLand fight garry though lol

My Pics. Some didn't care for the "choices." I'd probably give ExtremeCouture Gym of the year. Upset of the year...I'd actually give to Sean Strickland beating Izzy.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bryce, colby and Strickland lmao. I ain’t even as mad at them as I’ve been before. They’re legit hilarious

 

[whtascene]

Wouldn't mind seeing Emmett knock some sense into Mitchell.

 

[steevoo1]

True?

Thats a fake account, Luque is off the ppv card. They should just rebook it for January. Have Garry and Strickland at the same press conference.

 

[cs02132]

Nothing in sports has effected me like this. I was cooked until the Monday after
Aldo was my guy for years and the way he went out

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bruv, people suck and have too much time on their hands

In that case, i wouldn’t even be mad at Garry vs hoLLand since Garry probably is two fights away from the title anyway

 

[boxer15]

Big Marcel is a legit account as far as I remember. Do’t believe he ever got big enough for somebody to make a fake account.

He’s as legit as they come and people took the time to copy his exact account lol

 

[boxer15]

That’s wild but a lot of mma fans are trolls with a lot of time on their hands. Especially if they are on twitter.

I like the Holland fight only if it were a 5 round main of a fight night. They're 2 of the bigger names in the division so they'd be perfect as a headliner. If not, he's better off fighting up the rankings against Neal or Luque.

Top of 170 has just been at a standstill for a long *** time. If Colby loses, him and Usman will be sitting on 2 top spots for no reason with no intentions of fighting Shavkat or someone else deserving.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

No matter what I hope Dana doesn’t let colby or Leon fight for 185 belt in their next fight

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I hate laughing at this low hanging fruit

 

[xbiker47]

If Holland really steps in and luque takes the fight, they both savages
