7. Li Jiangling offers to cook for everyone:

I don't even know what animal it is but homie can cook.

I mean why in the world would you allow either Nate or Khamzat to show up to a press conference with a crew of 30+ guys each?

So that something like this happens that creates more interest in this card. If it wasn't all out staged, it was definitely encouraged.

when the ufc gonna learn you can't leave water bottles around nates crew

I love the default action when anything is happening at all is the diaz team to start throwing water bottles.

 

[WhiteMousse]

What was Nate's highest rank in WW?

If he ever rematches Conor, they both will magically be ranked Top 5.

Nates team is ufc antifa hoes

6 after the Pettis fight.

LOL. Another would be to limit the number of people in a fighter's entourage. Or like what they do in euro football where people are on a no-fly zone. I do feel though that the UFC doesn't mind the drama. Then throw DW out there to say 'this won't happen again.'

I do feel like when they bring all their groupies it causes issues

 

[Domitian]

Nate Diaz vs Tony Ferguson
Khamzat Chimaev vs Kevin Holland
Li Jianliang vs Daniel Rodriguez

That lineup doesn't sell a ppv like Diaz vs Khamzat.

 

[GeraltOfRivia]

come on now Geralt, with your Witcher senses you couldn’t see this coming? You need another potion…

Seems unlikely to me that they would be doing anything like that in the ESPN/Disney era of UFC. They already get 500K PPV buys guaranteed.

Dana's blood pressure is already like 300/250. he doesn't need that kind of shit these days.

 

[Johnnny]

Nate Diaz vs Tony Ferguson
Khamzat Chimaev vs Kevin Holland
Li Jianliang vs Daniel Rodriguez

Called it exactly.
