This is incredible

 

Nah, that's the reason you put Lewis there. If the card is going to sell regardless, you don't need to burn another draw.

 

I expect the 229 card to have a solid co main (Lewis is okay) and then some younger talent that they want eyes on.

Sean O Malley mentioned two months ago he was on the card

 

Palhares looks super natty

 

Craig Jones better watch himself next weekend.

 

Diego’s pose haha

 

I get that. Some exciting fights would be nice tho lol.

 

this is too good hahaha

 

"Oh, you want to SCHPAWL? I thought you meant you were goin' to the SCHPAW!"

 

Tony recovering in 4 months is crazy.

 

Shame he has no one to fight.

 

Colby Covington is an idiot

 

What'd that nimrod say this time.

 

I was listening to his spot on Ariel’s podcast from last week.

 

Kamaru Usman on tap as replacement for Tyron Woodley or Darren Till at UFC 228

 

Will be interesting to see if Till can make championship weight!

 

Does seem like it's pretty difficult for him to make that weight. The guy is huge, literally towers over Tyron and even made Stephen Thompson look kinda small. I'm definitely interested in seeing what so much time off and a surgery has done for Tyron as well.

 

I think I agree with New York Ric's assessment of Till vs. Woodley. Certainly the reach of Till as a result of his frame will be a threat to Woodley, but his fighting style doesn't make his size such a detriment to Woodley as it could. With Colby vs. RDA, Colby was clearly much larger and could lean on RDA until he gassed him out, but Till is not going to utilize that size advantage that way. I also think that Woodley will be able to get him down regardless of that disparity, but the question is whether or not he can move around him and land what he needs...but at this point, Tyron's striking is so crisp that that's not an easy task.

 

Tony Ferguson said on Instagram he’s got fight news coming soon

 

This is what I saw.

 

Sean O’Malley vs Anyone please.

 

Also Colby posting the fake news hashtag on ufc posts makes me cringe. So desperate for attention.

 

Lewis/Volkov is the co-main for 229

 

Didn't we know this?
