I spent 6 months at Al Dhafra from May to November and the summer months are absolutely brutal. Yea I’m wondering what’s tougher that heat or Mexico City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Stipe-DC trilogy August 15th!!! https://www.espn.com/mma/ufc/story/_/id/29287858/ufc-announces-daniel-cormier-stipe-miocic-iii-aug-15 Hell yea! With that booked in theory a #1 contender spot might be more likely for Ngannou outright or fight Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masvidal wasted to much time trying to get money fights/paid more and lost his spot. This could've been a huge opportunity for him but he missed the boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously got paid well to fight Nate, you'd think he'd get more for a real belt right? Burns might just be undercutting him badly too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the star that he thinks he is, IMO - but a win over Usman would probably catapult him up to stardom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsandBroncos Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It's not that big of a deal that Burns is fighting again already because if you think about it, he's taken pretty much no damage whatsoever in his last few fights. Did Tyron even land a punch? lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's charismatic and knocks people out. Till-Askren-Diaz is a helluva 1-2-3 and in dramatic fashion for the 1st 2 and Diaz was taking some big shots too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Anyone else think they wanted to hold off on the fight island announcement as well as the Top-2 bouts because they wanted to squeeze as many PPV buys out of 250 as they could? I mean 251 looks like one that people would dig thru the couch cushions looking for change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Aldo, Volkanovski, and Usman winning. I also heard cringe boy would only come back if he were offered a Volkanovski fight at 145. He'd be destroyed lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fought Diaz the 1st time 3 months later but then an even longer break before #2. Even Cowboy had 4.5 months between Jury & Makdessi. Burns is doing it just inside of 4 months. Crazy!

That's it. Nate Diaz? The guy who has won 1 fight in the past four years? We consider that a "helluva" win? Masvidal is overrated. As a fighter and as someone with star power. Nobody is dying to see Masvidal fight anyone because if they were, Dana would be paying him as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just dont love most of the smaller guys as much as the big boys, but I was excited Also, is Volkanovski really this unbeatable guy? I just wasn't all that impressed when he beat Max. I get Henry going up that high would probably be a mistake FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
