We get worse matchups in boxing due to drop outs than MMA does for title fights yet they let those go just fine. It's like the NYSAC is being intentionally difficult after the Conor fiasco. Yeah, I thought I read something about Pettis saying he wasn't fit. Guess not. Also saw he asked for too much to fight Khabib. That's a terrible fight anyways. Al v Khabib. Felder v Pettis. Would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has every right to ask for a significant bump in pay to take on Khabib and headline a PPV. Not sure why this is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they would do considering Al was 155.2. Some kind of emergency exemption/waiver for the last little bit of weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Just give me Khabib-Raging Al and Pettis-Felder and I'm good. Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Al Iaquinta - For Lightweight Championship Rose Namajunas vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk - For Strawweight Championship Zabit Magomedsharipov vs Kyle Bochniak Renato Moicano vs Calvin Kattar Anthony Pettis vs Paul Felder Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs Felice Herrig Joe Lauzon vs Chris Gruetzemacher Bec Rawlings vs Ashlee Evans-Smith Evan Dunham vs Olivier Aubin-Mercier Devin Clark vs Mike Rodriguez That's still not a bad card at all. It is if you scrap Khabib and Pettis from the cards though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinneasGage Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 sucks that that means another fight is falling off the card. Khabib v. Iaquinta Rose v. Joanna Moicano v. Kattar Zabit v. Bochniak Dunham v. OAM Karolina v. Herrig as the lone good prelim fight god dammit it sucks what happened to this card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can pull off what sanchez suggested. I'm sure Pettis and Felder wouldn't mind throwing bombs at each other for 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them they will both get a 'save-a-card' 50k bonus. That's a fun fight. I don't even remember who Pettis was fighting originally but can't be too different from Felder.
