beekay414 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Well, I guess the only good thing about Aspinall's injury is that the HW division is being held up at the top so he's got time to get healthy without his star falling off.

Same thing with Yair. It may not move him or Yair up in the rankings, but it puts them one more fight away from a possible title fight. Looks like HW is going to be a combo of Bones, Stipe, Gane, and Blaydes until Francis gets back in the octagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Philly gym is looking really nice lately. I feel like these fights are a much better betting opportunity than the big cards lately.

big poppa pump Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Been reading that Stipe has been putting on some quality weight, and now is up to around 250. That was definitely what needed to be done. He is already quick enough, and fighting guys that looked like they were a full weight class bigger than him was not the answer. Ngannou will always be physically stronger, but he needs to match some of that size to even be in the game. If Bones thinks he will be able to rag doll Stipe coming up from Light Heavyweight, it doesn't appear that is going to happen. Let's just hope we see these 3 facing off sooner, rather than later!!!

Squanchy Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Dana has said a few times Jones will fight this year. But what card is left for a main event? December? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to do a card there, that Philly crowd would get behind them big time and the event would be electric. The net is cast much wider for this show compared to the UFC where the talent pool is more concentrated so you're gonna get mismatches sometimes. Next week I like Charlie Campbell and Waldo Cortes-Acosta, both have been dynamite on the regional scene and I can almost guarantee next weeks card will be 10x better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ending the year with the return of Jon Jones at heavyweight makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could definitely fill a fight night with local guys, although they should've had the Brady/Belal fight headline it. I'm right outside of Philly so I'd love to get back to an event.

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I want to see it but I'll believe it when I see it. maybe its too early to announce him as a December headliner since its 5-ish months away but I'm excited to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those Philly guys came out of that promotion and they put on good scraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost went to the last Fury grappling match that Holland had a while ago but couldn't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
