Now that we have the June 22nd main event, can we get the May 11th(St Louis) main event? June 1st(302) could use some announcements as well.
I wanted that too, but I do like how this is the more interesting challenge for Khamzat and honestly Whittaker too.@Question to expand upon that. I have always wanted to see Izzy against a real grappling wiz.
Especially because Brunson was too scared to have his best performance, and Yoel just is Yoel. Lol
And Izzy is 34 now, which is still within realistic physical prime territory for a MW, and hasn't taken a lot of damage, and he has had a lot of grappling training/experience right now. Obvioulsy the most he has ever had. So he is probably at the best moment in his career to try and withstand what a grappler would bring. Also, the built up will be more fun I'd imagine. Also, I would respect the hell out of Izzy if he would take that fight. Dude is a real martial artist and he has seemed sincere before about wanting to fight Khamzat. So either way, I hope it happens eventually.
Not even close. Hard to tell when people are trolling, so I will just assume ur retardedCard already seems better than UFC 300
They put him in there to lose. It's why they leap frogged him over Jared.I'm ready for ''Whittaker is not good anymore'' excuse after he loses
I'm ready for ''Whittaker is not good anymore'' excuse after he loses
Rob is on a 2-2 run and got murder KO'd by Dricus and out classed by Izzy.
He got a razor thin decision over Costa, who hadn't fought in two years. That was his last fight.
Rob is still a high quality fighter, but this fight with Khamzat won't be the start of his decline, win or lose. The best Rob is years behind us.
lol
DDP is the current champ, has never lost in the UFC
Razor thin decision over Costa? was that because of commentary or something? Because Rob outpointed Costa with ease except having that spin kikc landing on him with 3 seconds left in the 1st. The only reason people think Costa did bettre is because Rob's face marks up easily.
Out classed by Izzy? The first fight sure. The second fight? That was a close fucking decision.
Seems to be the case. Bummer isn’t it?So Chimaev still can't get a VISA for the States and can only work one fight per year in Saudi Arabia?
Yeah, I see Strickland-Whittaker being a pretty close UD, 95% a tactical striking battle (probably Strickland winning) that resembles some combination of Strickland's fights with Izzy, Canonier and DDP.Honestly I think this is the more interesting matchup stylistically
I was wondering the same thing about volkov vs almeida but dude volkov vs Pavlovich is sickkkk two Russian HW tanks.I thought Volkov - Almeida was already announced?
I’m assuming Almeida couldn’t get cleared so quickly after a brutal knockout loss.
