JaguarCrazy2832 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The DJ/TJ thing sucks it never happened. I think its silly that TJ would have to make weight and win a fight before getting a shot because the whole Flyweight division looked like it was cleaned out. TJ is a professional and knows that the title shot would be vacated if he missed weight and would also loses a significant amount of his purse if he missed weight, so why is DJ so worried about it? UFC likely pays him anyways even if the fight doesnt go down if TJ misses weight by too much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt dj really cared about the weight. He new tj couldnt meet the demands. Hes a belt holder. He cant fight take two fights in a different division and hold up his just to fight dj. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 6 hours ago, Buckrock101 said: I wonder (or maybe hope) after the hype that the Bellator WW tournament has gotten, whether the UFC could be planning a tournament to crown the first 165 division champ. That would be bananas. Askren, GSP, Diaz, Lee, RDA, Covington... then throw two of Chiesa/Vick/Felder/Perry/Cerrone/Gunnar/Oliveira/Masvidal. I wish UFC did Tournaments but they never will. Their marketing is more towards keeping big guys without a L as long as possible. Obv no where near as bad as boxing, not even close.. but a 8 Man UFC Tournament instantly delivers a loss to the Top 7 contenders and you have a champion.

Yair/Zombie is going to be fun as hell, I'm definitely looking forward to that. and tbh I'm glad it wasn't Zombie that got injured, because I really want to see him active and back in the title picture. but Edgar/Zombie was primed to be a classic, and maybe a title eliminator too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Anyone stoked for tonight's ME? I feel like Lionheart is just too far behind Volkan. His last 2 fights were against "legends" which is the same way of calling them cans now. He just wings punches alot. Volkan is pretty crisp and I think wins instead of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckrock101 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Great Value Kelvin Gastelum is buried on the prelims too.

Buckrock101 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I kinda like the new Michael Johnson. he got humbled in his losses to Diaz/Khabib/Gaethje/Elkins, and now he seems a lot looser and taking himself a lot less seriously. fought well in this one, could have gotten a KO, but Artem's head is made of rock. Looking forward to Johnson's next fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to Johnson's next fight Probably should take the weight-cut a tad more seriously, but I was just glad to see him beat Artem. I know why he is still on the roster but there is no good reason he really is on the roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Gotta hand it to Lionheart though, I thought this was too big of a step too soon given who his last 2 fights were against and Volkan just fought for the title not too long ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Askren's contract was going to expire in a couple of months. That points to it not really being about getting Askren, more about getting DJ to One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Rumors around today that Khabib vs GSP is going to be made. no doubt think it's rough for Tony, who deserves his shot at the proper belt (and at Khabib), but at the same time that's a huge fight. two of the best MMA grapplers to have ever done it. The part that's not certain is whether it would be at 155 or 165. wouldn't surprise me if they made it the first 165 fight ever, maybe even for the belt. if they did that, it may open up Tony vs Poirier for the 155 belt. then Conor vs Diaz 3, winner fights the winner of Tony vs Dustin. wouldn't mind that at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
