Great fight. Pena is tough as nails.

 

My god what a fucking battle, Pena is an absolute animal, both these women have as much heart that a fighter could possibly have.

 

Lol get fucked, Julianna

 

Valentina should be next.

 

Good fight. Still don’t really care for Nunes.

 

Yeah I’m getting a little tired of the double champ talk. The 145 division is nonexistent and the belt is a joke. It’s nothing compared to past double champs.

 

Co-main

and sticks with the report from last week that the UFC is targeting a big non-title main event for that card. rumored to be Jon/Stipe

 

I don’t think the Diaz card will need much help but holy shit.

I know Burns is the backup but they’re a Diaz pullout away from making that a fight night

 

That may be the first UFC I don’t order in over two years. That fight alone is hardly worth $75 lol

 

They said they’re doing Yair/Emmett for an interim belt but then Yair said he’d wait for Volk.

card would be a good one to do that on

 

They should just do Rahkmonov/Burns as the co main. Shoot Rahkmonov to the stars like they did with Chimaev.

 

They’re purposely going to tank 279 so that Nate makes as little as possible.

 

This whole situation with Nate is so messed up that I actually kind of hope he has a later-round rally and KOs Khamzat just to give a middle finger to the UFC.

 

Chandler/Dustin is 5 rounds

 

They're definitely taking the boxing approach to crafting a card for Nate's send off. That said, every Diaz fight is an experience, have to imagine the final UFC fight will be no different. It's going to sell just fine.

 

There’s going to be ranked fighters on the early prelims of this card

 

I cannot fucking wait

 

It seemed like a foregone conclusion that the Izzy/Alex fight was gonna happen at the end of the year card.

really curious what they do now. Maybe Jiri/Glover 2

 

Jones/Stipe would be great for end of year card or a Connor fight.

 

Conor said he’s gonna be busy filming “Hollywood movies”. He was announced for some Amazon movie but it doesn’t seem like he’s gonna get a fight this year.

Jones/Stipe in Vegas with a good title fight on it would be perfect.

still laughing that the current co-main on the Diaz card is fucking Johnny Walker

 

We are so blessed to have Strickland giving us this fight, no other highly ranked middle weight wouldbe have even considered fighting Pereira, let alone going out there, putting his chin on a platter and not even trying to wrestle.

 

Usman brothers are on some incredible juice

 

Not a single decision tonight. Great card
