Classic UFC move—offering a fighter who just had a concussion a quick match against a rising contender with solid striking and knockout skills. It's pretty obvious they want Khalil to take this one and line him up with Pereira after Ankalev.

I've always been a fan of the BMF concept. It's a cool way to honor fighters who consistently go all out for the fans. I think it should stay separate from the championship belt and be defended on its own. It's the perfect setup for those epic, fan-favorite dream matchups. Making it open weight...

Not for every division, but it would be cool if they split it into two open weight division belts. One BMF belt for the 125lbs to 155lbs range and another for the 170lbs to heavyweight fighters.

Main event: Putin vs Zelenskyy Co-event: Musk vs Zuckerberg BMF: Donald Trump Jr. vs Hunter Biden

In my view, 4 factors define a great knockout: 1) Technique: For instance, Barboza's spinning kick. 2) Timing: Whether it's extremely early or late in the fight, like Masvidal vs. Askren or Holloway vs. Gaethje. 3) Circumstances: High-stakes situations, such as championship fights, like...

If McGregor pulls off a win at UFC 303, you can bet he'll get a title shot in any division he chooses.

I find matchmaking in the FW division pretty challenging. Excluding Topuria, Volk, and Holloway, many fighters don’t have upcoming fights scheduled, and it’s a tough division to sort out. Looking at the top 15 ranked fighters, Ortega, Rodriguez, Evloev, Emmett, Sterling, Kattar, Mitchell, Ige...

In my view, it's not the wisest decision for Pereira to take on a heavyweight fight with just three weeks' notice, especially with a broken toe. He should heal up from his injuries and aim to fight Ankalev later this year.

Arnold Allen is a beast. I used to train with him back in the day—he’s super talented, dedicated, and works incredibly hard. I wouldn’t be shocked if he snagged the belt one day. He definitely has what it takes.

A lot can happen in 5 years my friend

People forget Max Holloway was just 20 years old with a 4-0 professional record when he made his UFC debut. Let that sink in for a bit. Now, he’s 32 with a 26-7 professional record. He's accumulated 29 fights, 22 wins over 12 years, defended his title three times, competed in 10 title fights...

It's crazy that we're even talking about this after just eight UFC fights. I'd hold off on ranking him above Khabib for now, but Pereira is definitely on the right track. So far, Pereira's had arguably the most impressive streak in UFC history.

Pereira vs Hill Gaethje vs Holloway Oliveira vs Tsarukyan Jiri vs Rakic Lopes vs Sodiq Aljo vs Kattar Green vs Miller Moicano vs Turner Zhang vs Yan Holly vs Harrisson Nickal vs Brundage Andrade vs Rodriguez

-Topuria vs Holloway -Volkanovski vs Topuria/Holloway winner -Evloev vs Ortega -Aljo vs Emmet -Lopes vs Mitchel -Rodriguez vs Ige

They should trade Belal to PFL for no one, using him as a Trojan horse to tank their streaming numbers.

You're making some solid points, and I generally agree with everything you've mentioned. Bo Nickal has shown a lot of talent and potential in his early professional fights. His impressive collegiate wrestling background and typical "All-American" persona have made him a standout prospect in the...

Let's not forget this guy only has six pro fights. Yesterday wasn't a bad showing; it just showed he's still green and has a lot to learn before he's ready for top-level talent. They should avoid the mistake they made with Darren Till. Build him up slowly; he's not ready to face a top 15 ranked...

A lot of great matchups mentioned in this thread and I have the same picks as others: -Pereira vs Ankalev -Holloway vs Topuria -Tsarukyan vs Islam/Poirier winner -Gaethje vs Dariush -Oliveira vs Gamrot -Jiri vs Khalil -Aljo vs Rodriguez -Moicano vs Hooker -Green vs Pimblett -Figueiredo vs...

Jiri's legs took a serious beating last night, so it's wild to think he's eager to dive right back into a training camp. If Pereira is really set to fight at UFC 301, I'd lean towards seeing Khalil Rountree as his opponent. It's fun and not the kind of matchup that needs a long, specialized...

And he totally deserves it. After losing his belt, I bet Holloway took a big pay cut. Given Strickland’s recent remarks, it wouldn’t shock me if Holloway’s earning around $200k to show and $200k to win. Sure, $400k a fight is good money, but after taxes and expenses, it's not exactly...
