Buckrock101 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 otherwise in the HW division, Lewis vs Volkov and Ngannou vs Blaydes 2 makes a bit of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, I think DC only fights at HW vs Lesnar before hanging it up unless something miraculous happens with Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckrock101 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 they announced an Australian card in December (I think?). hope we see either Israel, Hooker or Volkanovski in the headliner for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing at 205/HW. Just fight Brock in Jan. Wait for Jones. Those are the only fights that make sense. People don't care about Gusty. That's too much to risk. Risk/reward not there. I thought Gusty won the first one tbh. Mayyyybe a Stipe rematch before Jan if this card did at least 600k buys. Sucks DC got into MMA so late. What a fun career he's had though. Besides Conor, who's had a funner career in recent memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckrock101 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I mean its understandable, seeing how quickly he went from nothing to being one of the biggest stars in MMA. just disappointing to see as a fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the hw and lhw divisions might be held up a bit over the next year. But its not like anyone's contending at 205 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Rockhold trains with him. Edited July 8, 2018 by bkobow05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
